Hey mate.
I had been to Tony’s a few times and know where a couple of items are that he had aside for me/ whether they’re still there or not. Also there was a big ticket item Tony was helping me out with, which can be verified with his bank accountS.
Reach out if you can
Hey Reid,
I was a friend of that individual and this is very saddening to see.
I have offered countless offers of help because not only did I have items there from my personal collection delivered to him, others did to he was working on.
Please reach out if you can, as I was earlier speaking...
I myself have just tried two part epoxy on my 145B and so far so good. I need to try on some of my more destroyed machines though and see about building up the lugs in the right place when they are destroyed.
I don't want to sound like a dullard/luddite, but what kind of troubleshooting can you recommend. Visually everything checks out, do I start looking for shorts to ground?
Hi Everyone,
My Powerbook 270c wasn't working and ticking, so I cracked it open and saw that the caps were leaking. Removed all the SMD caps, cleaned and replaced with Tantalum.
There was no change. So I washed the whole board and the unit still is not powering up with this buzzing from the...
Wow, just as bad.. Worse on some. Its like a bacterial growth. The last one certainly looks like mould, but I have a 180c with that "cracked" plastic too. Clearly something bad is going on =(
Found a 145 at the office yesterday, exactly the same issue as my 150's. It could only be humidity related, three separate locations, all with the same.
Surely there must be a way to remove, clear off the old adhesive and even just sit the polariser over the top?
I just recapped a leaky 270c but the ticking continues. Anyone kow any other common issues in the DC circuit? I did wash the area with pure Isopropyl to assist prior to install of of the new caps.
I've recently had amazing results with Loctite precision super glue. Its a watery glue in a vial, it's ability to hold weight and super fine properties and grab time for me have fixed numerous little issues in my collection. I have not used it on the display housings yet, but its first in line...
Nothing, they are in original condition from three sources. Have not serviced these yet. Completely untouched and the storage conditions are the same for all of my PB 100 series, only the 150's are affected.
