well I actually got this from Adam Savage on YT , he's a pro special effects technician ( MythBusters/star wars): minute 10:00 and yes, I was sceptical about this because basic superglue holds just so-so..but adding some baking soda (natriumhydrogencarbonate) to it, it immediately creates a...

I wanted to take a deeper look into the broken off closing hinge, not actually wanting to disassemble the display because it's in good condition (apart from the scratches). But interestingly I found that the broken off hinge nose was still stuck inside the display. so I tried the...

some RAM comparison 128MB from 3400c, not recognized in Kanga at all Kingston 64MB recognized in Kanga Memphis 96MB recognized in Kanga silkscreened text says Hooper PB3400

the idea with the needle is also not bad..I actually was trying to glue a tiny strip of a steel spring at the side, but the baking soda method works now. Jaguar 10.2. is up and running..well kinda..slow and trackpad is not working, maybe theres a little trackpad app? ..and ethernet are not...

ok, that infamous baking soda-and-superglue method actually works..not pretty but solid now fumbling around with XpostFacto a bit

Oh I got lucky..found a Kanga very cheap, wasnt expecting much from.. but: it runs..even has a RAM expansion card in it, 128MB in total..awesome just removed the green Varta PRAM battery, it even still has the back door. the back cover is a bit scratched up and the closing hinge has broken...

-edit-

the battery connectors on the 190 board just had some little green spots on them, I scratch them with a sharp hobby knive..they just chip off the connectors from the battery bombed 5300c from two weeks ago looked much worser, it wasnt salvageable, it just fell apart- if you only had one or...

cleaned out all the old grease on the rails etc, it works now, great..it only doesnt want to eject cds now, only with a needle

I repaired the catch mechanism of the CD drive, the drive wasn't staying in the chassis anymore, just popping out. the little spring loaded lever would not return to a straight 90 degree position and therefore not catch the chassis. you must disassemble the parts to get to the bottom and clean...

great, thanx

hmm, do you know with what model this is compatible to your knowledge of vintage laptops?

I now tried to add a OSX Jaguar CD to the sd card but it doesnt work, maybe sheepshaver/Bluescsi only works with classic OS up tp 9.2., but not OSX. :unsure: When I add the Jaguar iso in sheepshaver preferences list, it appears on the sheepshaver desktop, I even can see the OSX installer files...

oh, I wrote 604e above, I meant 603ev of course. Your distro, I mean which exact Jaguar CD ( link) did you use? I used the 2 CD version here ,14,15. I couldnt get it to boot further than the above mentioned line, so I took the chance to upgrade my 9.1 up to 9.2.2. wasnt easy to find the correct...

so just for fun I tried it yesterday evening with my 3400c( with 144MB Ram), so no G3 here, and as you will know, the XPF homepade has some problem notes for the 2400/3400/Kanga listed there: I used XPF 4 for that, so my 604e only can work with 10.2 (10.3 and up only with G3 and G4). I have...

I remember having read here several times that OSX 10.2 is making problems, I would use it with 8.6, 9.1/9.2.2 https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/best-os-for-kanga.41562/

its a bit of a trial and error with the G3.. my 3600Mhz iBook Clamshell did fine @400 Mhz from 366Mhz, but I guess not higher

if Ethernet doesn't work there's obviously something not right with the XPostFacto install, builtin Ethernet should be recognized. is the connector on a little daughterboard?.. maybe its loose a bit.. I only have one working SCSI Ethernet card, 3Com EtherLink III, but it is 68k based, works...
