The boards are here - I’ll be assembling one of them today. It’s very rewarding to see your design in the flesh after working on it for so long.

Exactly, this is fixable

I showed this to my Spanish friend and we couldn’t find a definition for the word contratantalista. Is it very colloquial?

The reason is that it’s not a good method ;)

Presumably a CR2032 as OP mentioned Macbatt. This should be fine as I run one of my LC475’s (as well as several other vintage Macs) like this.

Ooh that’s a tough one to diagnose. If I had to guess I’d say broken trace rather than bad onboard RAM, maybe you could tone out the traces between the memory controller and the RAM.

I’ve had good results with quick on and off.

Thanks for this amusing little cultural anecdote :)

Of course. Are you thinking to pick up a used EarthWatts supply or adapt the PCB to something else?

I worded my last message badly. Despite the Antec being 380W it only supplies 20A on the 5V rail. The 500W model supplies 24A which is quite nice. It’s one of the early EarthWatts with Seasonic internals.

Even professionals get things wrong constantly... and we're only hobbyists.

To be fair the first one wasn’t my fault

Open it up and try to find any evidence of burned components, or anything else that could be amiss. PSUs have a primary side (mains voltages) and secondary side (5 and 12v etc) so it would be useful to work out which side is causing the problem. Unless it’s something obvious…realistically...

This is a helpful explanation. Hopefully we can clear up the confusion between Glue and Glu that @robin-fo alluded to?

I just discovered that while the card works on my Reloaded boards, it doesn’t on my two Apple boards. Something fundamental is going wrong as those boards won’t chime or even display a simasimac with the Xceed installed. Also, I can’t get it to sync with my Apple Multiscan 15AV. I’ll need to...

It’s very hard to kill a Glue chip… I’ve lifted one off a heavily bombed board and after cleaning the pins it worked fine. I’ve used lots of hot air to move them around and it’s been fine. I’ve also installed one rotated 90 degrees off and it still worked after correcting my mistake. In the...

We don’t know. More investigation is needed on your part. I’ve heard stories of a recap bringing a Beige G3 logic board back from the dead so you have nothing to lose by trying.

Apple sometimes refers to the GLUE as GLUCHIP. Here’s a photo of a IIcx logic board: Which is the other GLU you are thinking of?

The snip method is fine too. I can tell you’re going to be good at this once you’ve settled into a method.

Yes, I confirmed something is odd with the scroll back buffer in ZTerm 1.0.1. Initially it looks correct but then gets altered/corrupted as you type more commands later on. I added it in just now and it worked, displaying 'done ok'. No, nothing.
