They certainly seemed to be when I fixed the connector...I'm starting to worry the speakers themselves have just perished for unknown reasons.

Well, I must admit, this is my fault...I did not notice that the speaker interconnect cable connector was loose on one side, likely disabling both speakers as a safety measure. ...or so I thought, as after reattaching that connector and reassembling the laptop speakers still don't work.

The internals of the optical drive were definitely not what I was expecting, I'm used to stuff like the PlayStation 4 where there are soft rubber rollers to pull the disc in.

Apologies for not getting back to you sooner. With headphones I can hear a boot chime and can play a MP3, but without headphones I get absolutely nothing.

Well, removed the motherboard completely and reconnected everything and I still have no sound at all, so that tells me something more serious is wrong here.

The first problem (and the one I have the least idea how to solve) is the complete absence of sound at all. I get no startup chime, no alert noises, nothing, no matter how I adjust the volume. The second problem is that even after I gave it some internal cleaning, the optical drive refuses to...

I found this Micron card for (presumably) a SE/30 in a box of various Mac parts I got as part of a beige Mac lot, and I think it might be the famous Xceed Color30 with internal grayscale support but I'm genuinely not sure, so I took the best pictures I possibly can. If it is the one...can I get...

To clarify, the actual hinge itself is intact, it's the part of the frame the hinge is attached to that snapped off. But it sounds like this might not be repairable, which would mean hunting down a replacement A1025 display assembly.

My TiBook came with one hinge already snapped off (not during shipping, this clearly happened some time ago) and I'd like to try and reattach it, but I genuinely don't know if it's even possible to disassemble the display assembly safely...is it possible and if it is, how do I do it?

Thanks, so the jumper is near the PCI slots! I was looking in the wrong place!

I acquired a G3 AIO this past weekend that was sadly a battery bomb victim. I installed a spare G3 desktop board but it doesn't boot at all. Someone I was on Discord mentioned something about jumpers to set the board as a tower, desktop, or AIO and I'm just wondering...is that true? If it is...

Yeah, tried replacing the power card, and now with both a new power card and a new DC in board it's still faulty, so I gotta wonder if something is wrong on the CPU card.

The yo-yo works fine booting my Lombard and my Wallstreet so it's gotta be the Pismo that's the problem.

It took me a couple months but I tried swapping the DC-in board and the Pismo is still dead. I guess the next step would be that power card?

The only one of those I found on eBay is $40 shipped so I hope I don't need one...I can try swapping the other power board from my working Lombard into the Pismo, though.
