    VST Zip 100 bay module for 190/5300 system hangs

    I have a VST Zip module that used work flawlessly on both 190 and 5300ce.

    G5 2.7x2 converted to air cooling are these temperatures normal?

    repasted with MX4 and now it’s much cooler. I also tried to replace processors but this time I couldn’t get to calibrate these two. Luckily these two are paired to a good lobo, so in future, in case of failure, I will have to replace processors and logic. These are the temperatures just after...

    Polarizer removal. Incidentally, what do you suggest to remove the old adhesive traces. I tried with isopropyl alcohol and also with xilole, but it’s very obstinate. this is how it appears: Film removal is indeed easy https://youtu.be/RmRi7rBLEmY

    PowerBook 180c, a very aggressive mold

    Follow up: 180c fixed. I bought both the adhesive and the non adhesive film. This is the first one, too many bubbles but will improve the technique. Next one will try with the non adhesive film. The correct orientation for PB 180c is 45°. This short video shows the effect of the polarizing...

    Thermal calibration G5 ASD, new discovery

    I have just calibrated a G5 2.7 and a G5 2.0 after a 2.5 transplant. ASD says tads out of range or other amenities, but once booted off OS X both macs are quite and everything works as it should. In the past I kept running ASD and thermal calibrations over and over after reseating and swapping...
