Pretty simple as I recall, this is helpful . then just follow Fallen6 method above. The breaks can be very very small.

I didn't, I had the new board to jumped right in to replace 🛠️

Done! new hybrid from Supesvga and now running happily from battery. Not easy to get out cleanly but took my time, had to chop the old one up but all ok. Big shout out to @SuperSVGA and @androda for their hardware projects for the portable 🙌

Good shout Brooklyn, I checked it was sending current to the battery terminals when depressed so guess that would be working?

Thanks @alexGS that's good detail (y)

Thanks alexGS, that's very encouraging. Good solution, was thinking solder wick and then heat gun, but there's a lot of bits that might go awol! Need to get a hybrid replacement first though

Hi @GRudolf94, yes recapped last year. Maybe have to get the mb out and test the hybrid board. Thanks!

I've made a new battery for the portable, using a cylon 3 cell job. Simple to trim the sides and fit to the case. I had the same set up previously but the battery has died due to the time the portable was out of action. Battery is charging (original power adaptor) holds a good ~6.5V but when I...

Thanks @techknight took the new battery out, all seems ok no sign of leakage or damage on the board. Any other thoughts welcomed

yow! Hope it’s not that 🤞 I took the original out when I got it going but did replace it with a similar one, will check it later

Thanks both. I've not recapped the power board, I've seen it can be a problem and thought it might be related, so will start there. cheers!

Hi, my 3400c has started some strange behaviour, the screen backlight will go off and the fan comes on, usually just a few seconds sometimes 30-60s. Most often after start up then less frequently. The screen is still active can just about make out icons, windows etc. Any ideas what's up or...

Nice one, thanks Falen, yes that’s my plan and figured there’s a few in the same area (space bar, arrow keys…) just going to use the schematic to plan out the connections make it a bit easier to see whats going on

Can't find a schematic for this anywhere, going to use this image to help follow the traces, might be useful for others:

That’s great thanks falen6, I’ll have a look at the traces, cheers!

A few keys are not working on my mac M0487 keyboard, I’ve dismantled and can‘t get any contact between the relevant points on the keyboard membrane. Any advice on a fix? Thanks

A pleasure to meet you in the flesh @Durosity - the SE is a fun little thing, really like it and you went above and beyond to make it right

😖

Riiiight I see, thanks Phipli. I have a very faint recollection of this. Perhaps there’s a failed nubus adaptor and bracket out there. 🙄

Thanks @Bolle!
