Excellent, many thanks!

I'm connecting to a BBS through NiftyTelnet 1.1 SSH r3 on my SE/30, but for some reason every keystroke is repeated in the terminal window. I type a letter and it is immediately repeated as a capital letter. I'm using system 7.1 and this is not a problem anywhere else. Does anyone know what...

Thanks, I’ll try to find another ROM and VRAM to test with. If they are ok it’s probably the CLUT judging from the heat.

Hi, I have a Performa 400/ LC II without image. I have recapped the logic board and the voltage from the PSU are all good. The component UJ10 CLUT DAC is right next to the display connector and it gets too hot to touch. Does anyone have experience with this problem and/or the UJ10 becoming so...

Excellent, many thanks!

Thanks, it would be great to know. I see they sell different dimensions on AliExpress but there are many different kinds with only slight variations. I guess I should be getting some quality calipers if no one knows... Maybe you can melt out the insert with the broken screw and rework it with...

Hi, I broke off a screw in one of the threaded inserts of the screen hinge of my PowerBook 160. I need to buy some new threaded brass inserts but I’m unsure of the correct dimensions, my instruments aren’t precise enough to correctly measure it. Does anyone know for sure?

I’ve removed the old caps now (that I put in last year) and waiting for the replacements. I’ve done quite a bit of soldering since then and the solder joints of these did not look good. I’m hoping cleaning and new caps - more skilfully installed - will do the trick.

I have a PB 160 with screen issues that I’m trying to resolve but I recently was able to connect it to an external display. The default seems to be to extend the desktop to the external monitor with the built in screen as the main screen (with the menu). Is there any way to force the external...

I found one just like it too and it works great.

Thanks, yes I suspect I’ll have to redo the recapping and make sure to clean properly…maybe something for Marchintosh.

I was wondering if someone might recognise what could be at fault here - the screen didn’t give a picture at all and so I recapped it and the inverter board. Now it fluctuates from almost good but with a back line in the middle (as seen in the picture) to bright and useless where one can’t see...

Excellent, thanks!

Many thanks for this, I’ll be sure to look into it. It definitely sounds like something is trying to start so this might very well be the issue.

Excellent, many thanks!

Any recommendations for vendors of film capacitors 0.47uF 250V for the Macintosh Plus analog board with good shipping rates to Europe? Picture of failed components attached…

Is that the light bulb looking components?

Thanks, yes I should have clarified - it is not posting and not seeking floppy. Only sign of life is the constant clicking from the AB.

I have a Macintosh Plus with a constant clicking sound when it powers on. What could this be? I’ve reflowed the solder joints of the connectors on the analog board and also on the logic board. I’ve also checked the fuse on the power cable between the boards. The analog board has not been...

I should really have blue then with my BlueSCSI! Maybe in time, but until then I’ll go for amber, red does feel like some kind of warning.
