    Mac Portable, Dead Battery, Compatible AC Adapters

    :approve: My two cents, having read portions of this board are the following - P.S I own 18 Mac Portables, and have been studying them for a long time. 1. The whole thing about removing the batteries and putting a 9v feed in on the PRAM battery thing is just stupid, the whole idea of the...

    Prototype Apple Lisa HDD with clear plastic

    Funny enough, I actually own one of these drives.. bare. I bought it a year ago on eBay.. I though I had been swindled as there is absolutely nothing about the NISHA anywhere to be found. Obviously it's something very special.. I really should see if I can work it out, but I am worried about...

    Building a Dual Floppy Macintosh Portable

    I was getting this on one of my backlits. Well a slight variation anyhow. It came down to board track damage, Look around the tracks of all the tantalums you replaced and test the tracks of continuity. If anywhere on the non backlit, i would be suggesting looking around the V1M board or...

    A Naked and Nasty Macintosh Portable

    I had success repairing two of my mac portables with Sad Macs after lengthy board repairs. As for opening the batteries, its been quite some time since I opened one, I used a box cutter at a 45 degree angle to score the join in the plastic from memory (as deep as i could) then in fact bashed...

    A Naked and Nasty Macintosh Portable

    No, they don't all have working batteries.. yet. I have a whole stack of macs, I have been collecting them for years, due to the fact many that I bought had varying problems with diskette boot, drives, lcds, bad backlits, leaking caps, board damage etc. Thankfully my Mac Portable skills have...

    A Naked and Nasty Macintosh Portable

    Hi Everyone I've just rebuilt about 12 of my Mac Portable's however I had one issue, when I replaced my some of my portables SMD caps with Tantalums, well 3 of them caught fire! :disapprove: This happened on the Non backlit and Backlit model. I used the correct rating on the tantalums, I...

    Macintosh Portable

    Interesting thread.. I've got close to 2 dozen mac portables, I'm lucky to have more then 2 of these running concurrently. My poor 5126 just died, after years of service. I opened here up after her last service in 2007 (some new caps) to find she was leaking :disapprove: Cleaned her up but...

    PB 100 Battery

    You need to remove the battery from the battery bay, hook up the power adaptor and simultaneously press the reset and interupt buttons that will bring it back 9/10. If you are located in Australia, I can repair the original 20mb drives in some cases for a fee :beige:

    Lisa and Mac Portable Parts in Australia

    The video output is an issue with the Processor, I did test with a good I/O Board. The machine won't power on without a good I/O i thought??? I repair power supplies for the Lisa, Lisa 2 and ProFile if you need them fixed. I can replace all the AC Caps that ussually die for a pretty reasonable...

    Clear Macintosh IIsi

    I was given as a gift a CLEAR Apple Macintosh IIsi casing about 5 years ago. I have never heard or seen of another one. I know about the Clear Macintosh Portable (one sold on ebay last week for $6765USD) and the Clear / Green SE/20. Has anyone else ever seen one of these, let alone heard of...
