    Newton Keyboard X0044 -- no shift?

    I've had a Newton Keyboard to go along with my MessagePad 2100 for years, and they have always played well together. Today, though, I find that neither shift key on the keyboard is doing anything. Typing input with a shift key depressed yields a lower-case letter (or the 'lower-case'...

    Yet another Macintosh Portable repair thread.

    Hi all, Picked up a Mac Portable 5120 (non-backlit) last week; before powering it up, I removed the logic board, removed the caps from it - all of them, except the tantalum cap on the hybrid board - cleaned the board, replaced the caps, and got a new black 6v 4.5ah brick battery. Putting it...

    Two (hardware?) problems with an SE/30

    Hi all, I posted here a while ago about a SCSI problem with my SE/30, which I managed to resolve. Since then I’ve replaced the surface-mount capacitors (haven’t received replacements for the axials yet), and given the board another swabbing with alcohol - sound is back. Having used the SE/30...

    Another Mac SE/30 SCSI Problem

    Hi there. This is my first post on this board, but I've already used the information in threads here to narrow down my problem. I recently picked up an SE/30 from a local shop, super cheap ($25). It boots from floppy just fine. It will boot from its hard disk into System 7.5.X and load all...
