the boring bureaucracy buddies forum has info on the resistor mod here

use an AUI adapter and sidestep the onboard silliness :P other than that... there's some resistor mods you can do. myself, I just use the AUI port.

nice machine. i hope to find one someday. 1) powerlogix card should work and will be a nice flex 2) you need a mac compatible pci card. i'm not sure exactly where you are, but the basic ixMicro cards that usually came with most 9500 clones are usually cheap because people rip them out to...

imo a networking setup is a must. solves so many headaches.

1) probably not, or not in a way that can't be repaired 2) the tantalum capacitor is underrated for the 12v rail. 3) next move would be to remove the logic board and inspect closely follow the take apart guide here clean and inspect the area. beep out the traces too... I've heard the...

did you get claude to write that wall of text too?

slop lover says what? have some self respect :LOL: if anything, these worthless projects are useless contributions. if you can't be assed to code your own software, why should i be assed to use it?

oh cool. oh so you did nothing and posted slop. sad!

it's not a question of whether it "looks good", it's a question of time. the leaking fluid can and WILL leak onto the display ribbon connectors and cause catastrophic damage. I have several thinkpad panels that were damaged in this manner. if you can't recap it, you must find someone who can...

screen needs a recap don't bother trying to wake up the pack, it's almost definitely full of leaking NiCad cells. remove them and clean the electronics thoroughly before trying to do anything with it. i wouldn't change the keyboard, the non-qwerty keyboard is less common after all. it's a...

this guy? i wouldn't use those, they're AC wall power direct to the UV bulb. simple, but potentially dangerous...

consider investing in an EPROM eraser too! protip: the phone sanitizers with UV bulbs (not LEDs) work VERY well. they can also be had fairly cheaply and are generally higher quality than the generic "eprom eraser" deathtraps you can get on amazon and such.

not much to research. you can replace any mac [P]ROM with an EPROM or EEPROM equivalent

from what I understand, the earlier interwares don't have the ability to "sense" an attached display. as long as you have working PRAM, the menu bar/boot screen should be remembered after you set it.
