It looks like the Amiga and Commodore community is being well served by some 3D printing designers who are providing not only mounts but replacements for often broken pieces like monitors… exampe https://www.ebay.com/itm/284207477046 and at their store Has anyone looked into creating/designing...

Just been getting mine up and going again complete with all the appendages - will have to get the portable printer out too like you have - to complete the set… I was also going to try and install this new software “FilePad” that I found on a disk I got with a purchase. Unfortunately the disk is...

Inspired by @warmech’s post on his SE/30 with ext. colour monitor card inside, was wondering what people think might be the best looking external VGA colour display to complement SE/30 or Colour Classic? Putting aside Apple’s Portrait display and other Radius Vision displays that can be hard to...

Nice! Alas, the hard copy disk with source seems out of stock already (limited run!). I wonder if we can source the Disk and Disk Cover images as I have a number of those plastic single disk containers and some blank disks!

Thanks again. I tried tapping/pushing around where the data cable joins the LCD in the top cover/display (having worked out where the connector was inside the top cover from IFixit) but it didn’t seem to change things too much... As noted earlier, moving the screen back/forward doesn’t seem to...

So, are you thinking it’s possibly just the display cable being at fault (i.e. either I need to remove the top case, pull out and reconnect the Display Data cable (or look for some damage in the wiring that goes out from the LCD/top lid an through the hinge into the main body of the laptop). Ta

I have been playing with a QT200 I acquired some time ago and when it powers up it seems to show a WHITE LCD 99% of the time (I think I've seen the odd No Card on black screen once or twice). When I press the Action Button the LCD turns off and the red light on the lens comes on (not seen that...

These are examples of the artefacts and lines I am getting on my screen. Any ideas what the culprit might be before I buy a replacement part?

Tried as suggested and a very sketchy screen came back. Very flickery, ghosting, image lines and could see the menu bar pop up at the bottom of the screen - basically a very unstable image. I can detect, but don’t seem to be able to project/mirror onto the 23” ADC Cinema Display I was using as...

I recently powered up my 15” Aluminium PowerBook G4 after some months and noticed the display did not fully come up on boot. The screen shows a faint line across the screen about 1 Inch up from the bottom (not a single pixel, but almost a full charcter height, very faint dark grey band on black...

Nice!

How so? I wouldn’t mind trying that!

Some more useful info here - scroll down to sigma designs and follow links https://vintageapple.org/macdrivers/video.shtml

@zuiko21n noted in this earlier chat seems to have a control panel for a variant of this card that has the 9 pin connector.

The Apple Macintosh Portrait Display Monitor manual has the pin outs at the back: https://vintageapple.org/macmanuals/pdf/Apple_Macintosh_Potrait_Display_Owners_Guide1989.pdf I believe you can find the standard Mac Video DA15 pinouts quite easily in many places, including...

Have you considered using the internals of a grey/beige mouse within the black mouse? I had a similar issue with a black mouse that came with the insides broken (considering the actual 5200 was fine, I could live with the mouse only being damaged). I even considered getting a grey/beige ball...

Nice, is that Unix or something else running (or just z-term or something to one)?

So, what are the specs for 8.24 GC ‘GWorld’ RAM? Are these unobtanium or just not high priority for many?

I’ve made this comment before, but I would be great if we get answers for this query if we could collate somewhere a Capacitor Replacement List (maybe in the Repairs Forum)?

Speaking of which, is there an authoritative guide to finding legit CPUs - esp the 68040 non-LC 40mhz ones? Did I see once that they no longer make them hence it’s about finding old ones and avoiding fakes/screen printed variants that are slower or actually LC chipsets?
