    PowerBook 3500 video repair

    Ok that’s why I was holding off on buying a doner 3400. Well shoot. Sourcing out the video ram is looking impossible. Do you know which rams are the vram on the board? There’s ram on the top and two sets on the bottom of the board. I’ll have to try and find a doner 3500 board.

    PowerBook 3500 video repair

    Nevermind about the LT50 vs HK50. I figured out they are completely different. Does the 3400 board have the same VRAM chips as the 3500? If so I will source out a 3400 parts board to salvage them from. Thanks any help.

    PowerBook 3500 video repair

    Hi all, Can someone point me to the VRAM on this 3500 board? On the Mack of the board there are four V53C16258LT50 chips and the datasheet I found for these says they are 256K X 16 so that would mean 1MB. These are also sitting next to the vga connector and video display connector so I’m...

    Saving a G3 Kanga

    Macintosh Portable non-backlit hopeful LCD repair adventure

    I tried very hard to fix mine. What I did learn is aligning the glass in the frame is crucial and if not right it can lead you down the path of thinking lines are dead when they are not. But if they are dead then I don’t think there’s anything you can do about it unless we can figure out what...

    Macintosh Portable non-backlit hopeful LCD repair adventure

    Ahhh bummer... That happened to me after replacing / ruining / making worse the original one.. I ended up finding another that is so far all good except one pixel. I wish someone could figure out what exactly is going on here.. I don't think it is the carbon zebra stripe rubber connecting the...

    SuperMac VideoSpigot - no video capture, just a blank blue screen

    I’ll have to wait til my MacBook is back in order. Only working machines here right now are 68k ironically. Don’t close your laptop lid onto your usb charging Jack. It’ll cost you $900 to undo the damage.

    SuperMac VideoSpigot - no video capture, just a blank blue screen

    Ya I remember using QuickTime Pro with serial to capture and edit. This is my original iicx and spigot. I wasn’t on system 6 at the time in was using it though. I’m sure it was 7. I had a radius rocket and the spigot. Neither are working now :(

    I didn’t know movie player could do a capture. I’m not familiar with the spigotVDIG extension. Do you know where I can find that?
