Nice work

I hope everyone in the usa is having a good labor day weekend. In case you aren't, here is a picture of the other Duo Dock Plus and the Stylewriter. Now your weekend will be most excellent no doubt. I pulled out the old shower towel with flowers on it for the occasion.

Hell yeah good tip thanks

We ain't here for a long time. But I guarantee these silicon boards with through-board solders will outlive us all. Can't say that about any tech after 2010s lol

Yes sir ive watched several videos on soldering. I am in the process of getting my first soldering rig and i have have plenty of worthless things to practice on. I just made this thread to share my experience going through these machines in hopes not just myself but others can come back and read...

All of these machines came from an IT guy from a university so he labeled them himself as he repaired them, thats all...

I am fully aware of that thank you. I just meant that the sticker was a "good sign" because some of the stickers said "bad" or "not working" lol. I havent powered any on except the couple all in one SE's after I took them apart and inspected them as many said they are likely working. Edit: I...

Here is the laptop haul, not pictured in other pictures. The 2300c is the one from the Duo Dock, but all the rest I havent pictured yet. I like that pentium 3 thinkpad next to the 2300 will likely keep it its thin and sleek. All the others I will likely be parting with.

One of the Quadra 605s, looks clean. Has a sticker from the 90s that says "Works", thats a good sign I suppose.

Cleaned up the ImageWriter II a bit. Edit: Still a bunch of shit in the grooves lol, oh well

I found another Quadra 610 in the mix bringing the number of good (non battery bombed) ones up to 4. What is the difference between the Quadra 605 and 610? I also opened up the other IIfx again and I think I was wrong about the board being bad. It looks like something on top of it leaked into...

Yeah thats what I mean, id rather just spend the money now and get a forever one. I just dont want to spend over 200 USD. I will look on amazon and see what I can find in the range of 50-150 dollars, whats selling fast with good ratings. I just don't trust ratings all the time as they can just...

Thanks guys do you have a recommendation for a soldering kit I could buy for working on electronics? I don't want the cheapest junk there is but i don't need the most professional setup either lol. I am ignorant to the prices on something like that ive checked ebay before and i find a bunch of...

Its difficult for someone who hasnt done alot of solder work to just "reflow the board". I am just trying to troubleshoot the easiest things first before I get to the more difficult things, which I am prepared to attempt. Being a contractor I deal with alot of people when I work on their houses...

I am simply talking and learning and ive been very appreciative and vocal about my appreciation

Yeah thats why I would never do that

I checked the back of the logic board and the power supply board with a bright light last night when i had it open they looked perfect i must have looked for 20 minutes thinking there was one but i couldnt find it. I took the white paper off the back of the analog board and everything, maybe its...

Nice. Too bad the screen is black on it, going to have to get it going. Could parts from an SE monitor be backwards compatible?

Here are some pics of the "128k" inside and the board. Someone mentioned that most were upgraded to 512k are these pictures sufficient to determine if its a 128k or a 512k? Also does anyone see anything that may cause the screen to not work? I know it could be bad solders probably is just trying...

I keep them out of most of my machines i just find this machine a pain in the ass to get to the battery. Here is the 3rd SE FDHD with the battery explosion i took pictures of the board what do you think? I think bad
