Just want to say thanks recapped my IIci and I was finally getting a startup chime but no video. Came across this post and say the comment about the multi scan not work. So I connected to a vga monitor and set to 512x384 and now I got video so again thanks

Thanks, yes exploding batteries make me sad. With leaking caps, batteries, recycling and age fewer and fewer old computers and game consoles will be around in the future. That said I need to recap my turbo duo ASAP.

Used three little coin cells reuse the box and connector

Yep I pulled the battery and replace it with a rebuilt one.

It was only one state over so a short trip but yes surprised it was working and also surprise the case didn’t crack for the price I wasn’t expecting much beside maybe the logic board being salvageable

Also if your thinking of using fromjapan consolidated shipping appears to work well had a bunch of items waiting to ship got a quadra 650, 700 and 5 other small items Nubus cards and accelerators shipped for roughly $210 not cheap but overall didn’t seem too bad plus their web site made it easy...

Another random purchase this one from eBay picked up a performa 575 listed as not working for $100 shipped figured at that price I’d take a chance. Got it to boot without any issue needs a recap distorted audio. But I feeling really lucky. And boy is the plastic brittle two of the case screw...

I'll be honest I'm not an expert either. I just remembered years ago replacing the CCFL bulb on a 2400c with a bulb for Frys electronics and that worked, so I tried that on this one and it didn't work. After that I bought a tester on Amazon using that the backlight works fine so I put up my post...

here's a link that describes the inverter https://www.techwalla.com/articles/what-is-an-lcd-inverter Found this link, figure I'll try the tests they recommended https://jestineyong.com/test-lcd-inverter-transformer/ not sure if there would be enough space but you might be able to squezze a...

It does it seems like this is a point of failure for this model and finding parts is difficult. I’m in the same boat.

Not PowerBook specific but I seen videos where people hook up backlights to a working laptop’s inverter to test. The tester I got was pretty cheap on Amazon currently $10 but you need to use you own 12volt power supply.

peel the controller board back pull the back light out remove the light and solder new bulb in

next remove these screws and you can pull back the controller board there's and edge connector under the arrow so you'll need to pry that loose

Here are some pictures of removing the backlight remove the three circled screws this should allow you to remove the metal frame around the front of the screen

I'll take a few picture and post them later today I bought bulbs from this seller tvrepairledtester listed as follows I have extras if you want a couple send me a PM I'll be happy to send you two if you cover the shipping. 220mm*2mm CCFL Backlight Lamps for 10.4'' Laptop LCD Monitor Brand New

I’ll mention replacing the bulb isn’t too difficult but I would suggest getting a tester if your not positive the bulb is bad

eBay 10.4 inch 2mm diameter came from china worked fine get the one without the connector just leads and reuse the from from the old bulb.

Read a ton of posts this week which were a big help. After swapping of pals which didn’t help jiggled the analog board connector again this time I lost video. So went back to continuity checks on the power connector and pin 10 no longer had continuity to r24 guessing the connection was iffy to...

Quadra 700 came yesterday working well feels much faster then my SE/30 with a daystar powercache 50mhz. I'm guessing it a combination of the faster CPU and video. Couldn't tell from the listing, but the vram is maxed out so that was a big plus. Noticed that FromJapan let you pull up invoices for...

Just to add a bit of detail the video seemed to get more stable when I jiggled the connector at one point seemed to be working reassembled the Mac and went back to this try swapping the connector with one from a battery bombed board in the process the pad for pin 9 came off when using the solder...
