Finally debombed my Mac SE SuperDrive and I'm suprised that the Maxell battery didn't leak or explode inside of it

I installed my MacBatt CR2032 adapter with a brand new and fresh 2032 battery and it's running well

local woman buys a $20 macbook pro early 2008 at a yard sale complete in box (and in good condition but the battery is absolutely shot) only to spend another $120 on a motherboard with a revised GPU from aliexpress

A colleague just said "it is not softwarically capable of doing it" and this is a turn of phrase I will definitely be borrowing.

Coming soon part 2 - a better organized place for all this repair documentation I've been gathering.
I'm shuffling some things around - don't worry, all previous links will be redirected to their new locations.

Note to self: when replacing UH6 on a Mac Classic logic board, go easy on the pads.

One bodgetastic chip replacement later…

I don't know why, but I remember Basilisk as being cludgy and crash-prone. I used the hda images from my ZuluSCSI in my 475 and it runs quick and completely error-free. The Daystar QuadControl control panel doesn't even crash it (it does it on the web-based InfiniteMac emulator).

New hardware project: an adapter to connect an HP logic analyzer directly to the PDS slot of an SE/30. Mostly just built it out of curiosity, but it could be a powerful tool for troubleshooting faulty machines or developing new hardware. Expect a writeup soon

i know this could be a very divisive subject among a lot of vintage laptop enthusiasts as it takes away a good amount of the charm from a vintage laptop, but what do yall think of the idea of modern LCD replacements for vintage laptops, especially those whose screens have deteriorated or are just broken?
