oh, that seems to be indeed a real creepy oil..

nice..I wonder how that thick layer of dust actually came inside the case..

nice..was it done with a hot air station? new oscillator, yes, you could just buy three different ones and test how far it goes..

now thats an idea.. the 060 is somewhat similar to a Pentium, also has a power saving option..has someone done that sucessfully, is there even a QFP one? but rare and not cheap🤟

from memory, after the teardown, the whole display is just slided onto upright metal hinge posts..maybe theres a replacement

my 800Mhz DVI Ti also has some stiffer hinges.. it, too get better when it was in usage, so its a temperatures thing. But I rather have one with stiffer but intact hinges than one with loose ones. I just cleaned the hinges with a little bit of lighter fluid but it didnt change.

also cat approved. Solid. this is mine now, right?

I wonder how difficult it is to de- and resolder the cpu onto the daughter board and what minimal equipment you would need..

a 68040 in the 540, like this guy here? https://hackaday.com/2016/08/22/ask-hackaday-calling-all-68k-experts/ oh, wow, you should do a new thread here about that adventure..

wow, that looks clean, nice..does the ram now work properly?

Yeah, Apple and ATI, a history of failings🤓 I once tried the oven baking method, it worked but not for very long..I dont know if a Pro-reballing is worth it?

oh yes, that GDR Praktika was the one I learned for the first time in 1990, good cameras

Compurs/Synchro/Electro-Compurs/Copals/Prontor, all central shutters have the same origin, from old 6x6/6x9 middle format folders to 8x10", they all are the same basically, they just got more refined and bigger. I'm not an expert on this but I got most of them repaired again. Yes, a well-light...

vintage watches..fascinating, you need a lot of patience and very good hand/finger skills for that I guess. I have done a lot of repairs on ancient large format/ view cameras with Compur shutters, the complicated internals often remind me of those of watches, a lot of cogwheel/ springs for...

totally, it seems that an all new metal case was enough 'new' engineering for them to go on for years.. then unibody.. when I look into a G4 I instantly am back to the year 1999/ early 2000..IDE, IDE cables, ATI Radeon 7500, VGA, 4:5 ratio, CD-R/DVD, aluminum plate heat sinks, 56k modem, Riva...

that large Jimmy Page book on top of the shelf also looks very interesting..

Do you have a photo of that paste, is it creamy and white? Normally any modern, good thermal paste will do (like said Arctic).. When I recently did a repaste job on my new MSI gaming Laptop I saw that they stock used a white thick paste on all near voltage transformers under the heatsink...

this is the Orinoco version with complete installer that worked most of the time on my machines with 8/ 9 and my Orinoco Gold/Silver or equivalents..other WaveLan versions didnt, it correctly recognizes the chip version

In a Pismo (400/500 Mhz) you already can use a regular Airport Extreme Type I/II PC CardBus WiFi card. I always use a fully compatible, easy available and cheap Gigaset Siemens 54 PcCard in it. OsX Tiger nativley recognizes it as AirPort Extreme ( Lucent chipset). No need for special drivers and...

I had a Pismo with a standard G3 400 Mhz daugtherboard with booting problems, I carefully removed the board and inspected it..two little pins were ever so slightly crooked, I carefully bent it back..it never booted again..temper temper I hate those connector boards, the latest 500 mhz models had...
