Hello @bigmessowires, I'm sure you have enough beta testers right now, but I just saw that photo shared by @LaPorta , and that physical design with such a long case is going to result in an extreme amount of stress placed on the PCB or the component if your Sync-inator is used in a typical...

Without a reference photo of what the TDMS connector looked like, and being unable to see what was underneath that plastic connector, I spent the better part of 15 minutes surgically slicing through this gummy double-sided nonsense with an X-Acto knife, and gently prying up with a spudger, to...

Thanks. I already wrote to the seller asking for a partial refund. They have over 10,000 sales and deal in vintage electronics. This should have been disclosed and I would have paid about half as much for a "parts or repair" Mac. In addition to having a hard drive that was DOA (I bought it...

Thanks for the diagnosis. What can I do about the audio jack? Do you have a suggestion for cleaning or repairing this, besides a bath of 99% IPA ? I had already talked the eBay seller down from their astronomical asking price because the computer was not booting off the hard drive, just a...

I have an LC III that boots and runs normally, but the internal speaker doesn't work. Well, at least I thought it didn't at first. External audio works; I heard the startup chime, quacks, and wild eeps through headphones. By accident I was pushing the headphone jack while turning it back on...
