I had a mold for the Mac 5x0 quoted and all quotes were >$100k and the amount of people who have one and didn't strip the boards out of them is very small. Having a mold for these would be nearly impossible based purely on economics. If you created 3d prints you'd likely have 5-6 prints to...

If you've been thinking about getting an iMac G3 inner bezel, you can now get one for only $69! At least, if you are one of the first 10 customers ;) Side note, there are additional items on the store page on sale for Black Friday. MacEffects Black Friday Sale Link

I have a few 5300 series machines and each is crumbling and its very sad :(

They were on the site but sold most of them so I pulled them off for now. I think I have like 6 left. They aren't cheap but if you really need one, feel free to send a PM.

I might have a hand full more, but they aren't cheap so its probably better off to source a used Newton and gut the screen.

I think this is a fault within the screen itself. I've sold several NOS displays from climate controlled warehouse to people in just this situation. Sadly, it has become much more common of a failure.

@Jeremiah B was kind enough to reach out. We actually already were working on hinge assemblies for the Lombard and Pismo, respectively. We already have experience in die cast/stamped steel/alloy parts so it's just a matter of tweaking them to be improved from OE design. I will, however, say...

These were bundled with the clear SE cases rather than offered for sale.

Yeah, and that probably would require someone way smarter than me - :ROFLMAO: but it certainly within the realm of possibilities.

I'm not so sure that eBay is the arbiter of legal interpretations. I'd actually say that it is a case of unjust enrichment. The OP 1) received a benefit 2) it was at the sellers expense 3) the OP retained the benefit Yes there was an error on the sellers part, but that doesn't free the buyer...

Glad to hear! Could be a real gem.

If you need an X/ProFile (Widget Emulator) let me know as I have an extra I can sell.

Recap the video board and use a lot of Deoxit to clean the trim pots working each back and forth many times. The V-hold is common to do what yours is doing. The RIFAs in the PSU are easy as well. So recap the PSU and video board, then make adjustments and you should be good to go.

If it has "MT" Ram it probably has a bad memory chip and I would start there.

The 270c was my first laptop. What an awesome score :)
