Oh.. My.. God. i thought I was the only one who had issues with that epoxy crap! The BGAs on the iphones are underfilled and the ICs require EXTREME heat to be removed... what a pain in the ass. Also, with the DV7s, the 1000 series in particular, the FETs on the power in lines go bad more...

As a matter of fact, yes :D I've done micro-BGA stuff by hand (Well, the stencil part) in the past too. Just an FYI, you can make a decent buck on eBay through repairing macs. Either way it was pretty damn frustrating, and it was a decent amount of work, but I would have hated tossing the...

Those stock cells look extremely close to the Sanyo NiMH batteries used for the newton rechargable battery packs. Wish I had a link to where I bought my cells from, but I lost the link a long time ago.

Last week, I bought a powerbook 5300cs that wouldn't power up, according to the owner, for $5 locally. Figured it just needed a new power jack. Turns out pressing the reset button would sometimes yield a green light only, a chime and then freezing, or just some noise from the speakers. I took...

Glad you're getting use out of that newton ;) I have to say, when I had the messagepad, I would have never thought to bring it to class with me. I usually use a TX1000 for note taking, but i'm tired of propping it up on a bunch of notebooks, so I think I might steal your idea :p

I'd second re-applying thermal compund to the processors, it made a huge difference with my dual 1.8. Go buy some Arctic silver, and a Giottos Rocket Air blower to dust the machine (you could use compressed air, unless you're cheap like me). When reassembling the unit, do not over tighten the...

You guys should try meguiar's plastic polish, I've had a really great experience with that stuff. I used it on my white macbook's lid and it removed most of the yellowing, and polished the area where the finish was eaten away. I'm not sure about the finish on the eMacs, but if it's like the iMac...

I figured that, since disk utility scans the SCSI bus. Now, if I import a blank disk image that is already formatted for copland I can install to it. The only problem is that the copland disk image i have isn't large enough to perform an install. If someone could give me a blank formatted image...

I'm trying to set this up on sheepshaver, but disk setup isn't recognizing any volumes, and ideas? Or is there another utility I can use?

I don't mean to sidetrack anything here, but I have a few technical pages on copland (that I guess would be useful). The technical overview is quite lengthy, it spans 177 pages and it also has some screenshots of the OS (or a mockup maybe). There's a 19 page intro document in there, that I'm...
