We desperately need a reproduction lcd!

I need to edit this so I can use 5 (or maybe 10) AA size NiCD batteries. Do you have the model on a Fusion360 format you would be willing to send me so I can just cut out the battery holder part? Maybe STEP or OBJ would work too?

No I have two machines two cables and two bad LCD's. no change if I swap cables. I put the new machines LCD on my restored and working machine and it was PERFECT... played with it for a while... everything good then I left it on and walked away for a while.. came back and had a missing...

Extremely bad luck apparently. I got the whole other machine, swapped displays out it was perfect.. (for an hour)...

Well I acquired another portable for parts and replaced the LCD and it was perfect. And then after being on for an hour or so a single line went bad. and then a few days later ANOTHER line.. I just left it on for a couple hours and now there are FOUR lines. What a bummer. Two LCD's gone bad on...

They are the rubber strips containing carbon that connects the LCD glass to the PCB.

Well I thought the vga to Mac DB-15 would have worked

The monitor did nothing. Same megenta ish color with horizontal trace lines.

Yes it’s this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/271088357148?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=nUmvE_S0THa&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=vQ425jH5TBq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY I tried every setting. Should it work? I wasn’t sure what the PowerBook g3 outputs. I think it’s a Pismo model.

I'm still trying.. No working IICX yet and i bought a VGA to DB15 adapter and tried hooking a powerbook G3 to it but no luck.

I hear ya though. I’ll put the diodes back on the original board.

They aren’t equally defective. The original boards power circuit works. The original board does not have cpu activity and no power up chime (when powers from either the stock power supply or externally from my atx supply). The new boards power circuit does not work. The new board does have...

Well it wasn’t exactly random. The soft power switch wasn’t working then I saw my original board of same Rev has the two diodes that are directly connected to the power circuit and the power circuit is working on the orig board with the diodes and it is not working on the new board without the...

The board revs are identical.

Since my original bad board that I’ve owned since new has then and the new board I got that is the exact same version number does not have them I thought someone might have removed them.

The original bad board we were working on has them. So I swapped and neither board behaved differently.

Yes all the same ram chips. Right video out. But no Nubus = no video. And it is odd that the soft power circuit isn’t working. Maybe need to rule out my atx power supply and or fix the power up circuit.

I do have a vga adapter and a modern LCD display though. But I think in need some NUBUs activity before anything. I put a scope on all the pins on the video connector and nothing.

Unfortunately that’s all I’ve got.

Well I transplanted those two diodes and it made no difference. Stock PSU turns itself on in low power more (the fan barely spins) and only the led on board turns on. Original board power circuit still works properly without the diodes. Anyway main issue is the sad Mac chime when powering...
