I think I dorked up C26

Gotcha yeah do you recall which cap it is? Cuz I didn’t do such a good job on the one all the way to the right, farthest from the buttons. So that transistor (Q1) will go bad is run with the 2.0 amp charger for too long?

Well I got the machine to boot like I said. The Hard disk is hit or miss. Was working last night and now it’s not either way I get it to boot on a disk I have and this is what comes up. Also I took a picture on the board where it looks a little suspicious. What y’all think? Previous owner used...

Nice I just moved back to Atlanta from Charlotte with the airlines. I got let go on American and now living back in Atl where I’m from.

It appears to me you have a lot of people on here that care. I know it’s the internet and all, but You have ya!! What state do you live in?

Does diving into computers and such, like you said a hobby, not help? You can try doing YouTube videos on different kinds of electronics or what not. I found your videos on the portable very informative and was scrolling through your channel hoping you had more!!

Well said. I just stared on here, but from what I have gathered in my short time, I’d that you had helped a loooot of people and best on here. Hope you get to feeling better sir!!

Now I need the pinout of the CPU GLU chip. I can’t find it anywhere online. Need to check the R/W line per Techknight. I know the pin 9 on the CPU but not sure where to put the repair wire on the GLU chip.

Great. Thank you!

Are there any board schematics floating around out there? It might make doing all this trace testing a tad bit easier.....

No I did not wash it. I did a mediocre job on repairing 3 lifted pads while doing the recap. I haven’t gone over any of races or anything. Will be doing that this evening. Thanks for the advice. I haven’t checked any of the ram either.

Just reset it and got a new round of codes. The previous picture and this picture are the only ones I’m getting. Ideas?

Purchased my back-lit Portable 2 weeks ago off of fleabay knowing it wouldn’t turn on. Was informed he used the PowerBook charger for a while then it quit working altogether. Found out the battery was bad, put in a new battery and recapped the board. Just turned it on and this is my lovely...
