Didn’t expect that but definitely good to know

I’m pretty certain that the 170 is the same 47uf/16v but I can’t fully remember. I saw the value last time I took it apart but never bothered to replace the cap. I will try to confirm tonight if I have the time.

I have several hundred caps of varying values so as long as it fits inside I will be able to do it.

As someone who rebuilt the battery, I can definitely recommend it if you have the means to do it. If you don’t want to spend the money for a spot welder and cells, you can always find a premade pack that fits inside the dimensions of the 180 battery. It may not perform at the same level as the...

This looks amazing, great job painting it! Might do this to my 170 or one of my others but I'm not too confident in my painting abilities so I will have to practice before attempting it.

Just got a chance and neither the 280 nor 230 has any inverter board electrolytic caps.

I completely forgot to get the 280 inverter board values for you! I get a duo 230 tomorrow or the day after so I will pull both apart and get the values then. I can also get you some photos of them including the 230 display if you need as well.

I only seem to get burn in on the duo in the affected areas, but that may just be because I have not tested it enough. I will have to test alot more before making any choices to bake or keep.

I will have to test how long the burn in lasts. I would hate to damage the display by baking if the burn in is only for a short time. I can see it no matter what angle I look at, but it definitely is more pronounced when looking at an off angle.

So, I was just looking back through the thread and i noticed the weird display problems were definitely not there before so I think that confirms baking damage. Maybe my oven is a little bit off on temperature. Also, there is a bit of a weird behavior on my duo. The display tunnels pretty...

I wonder if there is any information into that because if people could replace failing polarizers with ones that (at least currently) have no record of failing, it would be really nice for long term reliability

Well thats certainly a benefit of the hosiden panels then. I just need to keep buying some more until my luck improves and i get one without any tunnel vision. 2 buys so far and both are extreme lol

I forgot about the vinegar syndrome. I have gotten it on 6 displays so far, one 2006 macbook pro, one 2003 dell laptop, 4 2009 asus monitors. Nothing else so far and the affected displays are gone to avoid them affecting my other computers. I wonder what makes them immune... Strange that the...

I wish tunnel vision could be completely solved. So many nice computers reduced to being unusable without extreme measures that may damage the display more. Reduces options from the 100, 500, and 200 series to the rare and more expensive color models, or the poorer display quality passive matrix...

Yep, I ran it for a while but it just isnt really worth using the 170 when the 145B display looks so much closer to white instead of green and does not tunnel in like the 170 does. Had no idea about the 160-180 models using the same batteries, i knew they shared some parts and didnt share others...

I certainly don’t see this on the duo so far so you are probably right. It’s probably just due to the baking if I had to guess. I don’t use the 170 too frequently as my 145B is completely restored with the faster cpu card with fpu. The 145B also has a battery now so the 170 is probably going to...

Just noticed something strange with my PB 170. Tunnel vision has seemingly lessened over time since the baking but it now has very strange behavior on its display.

Just got a duo 280 the other day and it has tunnel vision so that will be posted here soon. Probably going to end up baking it but not sure as of yet.

Repair went well! Back together and working great once again (or as great as a color classic can work)
