    My injection molded Duo keyboard project had to go through a lot of mechanical switches to find the right one that felt good but replicated height and kept original key shape. Those are in process now revising the molds. Sounds like your project shared a lot of the same issues I had.

    Is my MessagePad 2000's screen dying?

    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.

    Is my MessagePad 2000's screen dying?

    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.

    Is my MessagePad 2000's screen dying?

    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.

    Solving the Powerbook G3 hinge issues: aftermarket hinges

    @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...

    Video cards for 630?

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

    Seeking advice on final resolution with eBay seller.

    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...

    Garage Finds: Lisa / MacXL (+ Sony CRT)

    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.

    IIc with checkboard

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

    iMac G3 Optical Drive Pinout

    Hello all, I’m hoping one of you might be able to help. I’m trying to create new rubber rollers and belts for the drive but in terms of testing it’s import to have some trial and error. Does anyone know the pin out? More specifically, I’m looking for the power pins and what inputs they need...

    NEW Injection Molded - iMac G3 Inner Bezels

    I tested a couple of the prints personally and had major fitment issues and that was on ones they thought may be good enough. This was just over a year ago. Not a single ABS sample fit correctly enough to totally assemble. It’s possible that a high quality ABS print could sustain the weight but...

    NEW Injection Molded - iMac G3 Inner Bezels

    I was told in advance it probably wouldn’t be suitable for 3d printing and accepted the risk. I cannot hold them liable for the several failed prints at my request. I did the 3d prints mainly to validate my design for fitment purposes before tooling. They, and probably you, have more knowledge...

    NEW Injection Molded - iMac G3 Inner Bezels

    This was about a year ago and I hired a 3d print house to do analysis and do the prints. They did the ABS prints and we found that 1) the six holes on the side that mount the rear case were not precise enough while maintaining the fit for the lower left and right plastic assemblies 2) they...
