@PotatoFi Any chance of making a few more of the clips? I purchased a set from you a few months ago and I see that your Etsy page is taking a break. I don't have a 3D printer and I just need a couple of clips for my MacIIx (2) that have broken plastic clips on my ROM holder. Any help or...

I just recapped one of my PB165 and my screen looked exactly the same. I removed the screen again and checked continuity with all the caps and they were good.

My RAM is good and I recently purchased a ROMinator that bypasses the RAM check at startup and still I get a...

This is a very helpful thread. I have two Mac IIfx boards with battery vomit. I have been gradually cleaning them up and have had similar damage and issues, especially with the death chime. Today I was finally able to get one board to start up after I found a small broken trace on the back of...
