Woohoo.. reflowed it with hotair and she works:)

Found the exact same chip on a dead iivx board. Replaced it now i i dont get a flashing question mark. So hard to say if chip was dead already, or hot air killed it?? It did have corrosion on legs too.. argh!

Cool, thanks! Appreciate it

Anyone know what scsi chip controls scsi bus on powerbook 100?

So i decided to find a home for the 8100/110 for now. Accidentally called it an 8500 in video. I have a psu coming from a friend. Might paint the case black or retro it and custom a sticker that says 8100/110 custom or desktop

So recapping is done. Board works fine. 48 megs memory. Not sure if i will hack a case up for it. Will put it in the for sale section and see if anyone needs it. Just need money back plus caps. No charge on the recap. If no interest is then will see. Just an impulse need to recap something lol..

True.. will have to keep my eyes open for something like that

Yeah i wanted the fdhd logic board he had but waited to long lol.. never know what you will get when things are untested

Yeah i have a 7100 so will leave that alone. But do have a spare iici case and a vx case. The power supply For these are big though

What? Thats cool. I have two as well. One stock and one upgraded to 400mhz g3, and the nicer video input / output wings card plus scsi burner cdrom.

Tried the trick for the mac lc Ethernet card. No go unfortunately. Lights work but nothing else. Will try it in a different system etc.

Yeah i imagine finding a proper case thats not completely broken would be hard. I do have a q800 but not parting out to make an 8100 :) will see what one can do!

So i grabbed a 8100/110 board on ebay and it works. I did have a pds card to put in slot to test. Not sure what to do with it now lol..no case for it. Do you put thermal paste on these? It has a thermal pad by the looks of it under the heat sink so decided to not take off. Will recap it this...

beauty!! I have a 6300 and performa 630. Love the form factor of these

Cool, thanks so much.. did the trick. Will have to see if there’s a fix for a couple of others i have too.
