    Another powerbook 100

    So, just got this. Recapped the display and logic. Everything seems to work as it should except the reset button doesnt work. The programmer one does. So if I turn it on with keyboard and then hit both buttons i just get the sad mac chime. So does the capacitor affect the reset button right there?

    Recapped 166 Apple compatibility card.

    Thank-you! Yeah for sure. What i find is that caps just fall off. I have seen leaks for sure too, so my personal opinion is that i will do all my stuff. Doesn’t hurt, well only the pocket book lol. I think things will always leak. They still can’t seem to make a double a battery that doesn’t...

    PC Compatibility Card Issues

    Probably should if you havent, recap logic board, pci riser card, and psu on the 4400. I also recapped my 166 pc compatibility card. Caps literally fell off at a little twist

    The last of the "subnotebook collection"

    I think i did 3. All the logic boards seemed to work but could only manage to get one display to work with a logic board. Nothing guaranteed with these even with recapping unfortunately. Some people seem to have better luck than me with these powerbooks

    Iifx

    So i bought a iifx logic board today. The old board was sold last year due to battery leakage. I dont know if the psu works, it should. Is there any way i can test this before hooking up to iifx board that was quite expensive?

    Kanga lcd questiom

    Recapped my Kanga and took the lcd apart. Very similar to the 3400c but doesn’t say sharp. I couldn’t find any caps like my 3400c on the display and they look different. So hoping it doesn’t have any caps hiding. Anyone with similar experience? The inverter board had same caps etc. first picture...

    Macintosh IIci Strange issues

    Usually i have had to remove the sound chips and clean pads / legs and reinstall. Also, when you pulled old caps off you should always clean and check traces and vias for continuity. Sounds like something isn’t making good connection.
