    Powerbook Duo 280c + Accessories Maintenance

    I didn’t like how if I caught the key at the wrong angle, it wouldn’t register a press which massively increased the amount of typos. And one of the keys just stopped working again even after using a conductivity pen on the trace.

    Durosity’s conquests and collection

    Really? They don't even sell it? The recyclers here seem to resell the stuff for cheap.

    Powerbook Duo 280c + Accessories Maintenance

    Latest update for my PowerBook Duo 280c. I'm not the first. @techknight demonstrated his earlier this year. I stumbled upon his video while working on mine. Took a bit to get this to work, primarily because I made a small mistake on the first PCB and had to wait for the tariff situation to...

    There's not much room... between a backing plate, the PCB, the lowest profile (and reasonably priced) switches, I'm already over by 5mm above the stock height. Lid still does close (it pushes the keys down a bit). I was going to shave off the stems from the stock caps and glue in 3d printed...

    Warning - floppy drive head mechanism glue is deteriorating

    Watch from 39:11 (39 minutes and 11 seconds into the video). He specifically mentions what you can do if you have stretched out the heads so that they are no longer against the media. Fairly common mistake that's made while attempting to clean the heads.

    Ah, didn’t even consider that it would issues parsing beyond the relevant chunk at the beginning. Thanks!

    Identify SE/30 video card

    I just got the same card (as @unity) from @techstep yesterday. Unfortunately I currently don't have a means to test it since my only SE/30 has @zigzagjoe 's LCD kit in (ie. the CRT tube and everything, analog board, etc are all removed and packed away somewhere) and the video card for the LCD...

    I still don‘t get it. Why not just upload your findings to Macintosh Garden, like everyone else?

    jmacz journey

    Portrait Display, fully recapped and working great. The lower left corner geometry needs a little work but I'm going to leave it for now as it's not that bad and it's really difficult to reach the magnet for the lower corner while the display is operational. Dark spot is just the refresh.

    Laserwriter IIf

    TPU as a material seems like it should work. I have been testing a 3D printed blade to see if it will clean the drum without scratching it. That's been mostly successful. But the tests have been manually placing the blade (tpu and metal part) on the drum and rotating the drum by hand. I have...

    Definitely don't take it apart. This is tremendously helpful, thanks!!

    Laserwriter IIf

    Thanks!! Does the metal holder insert into the silicone part? Is that how the two pieces are coupled, or is it glued on top, or on bottom, or both sides (ie. the silicone sandwiches around the metal part)?

    Laserwriter IIf

    If you do have a picture of the wiper with the silicone piece, both from top down angle as well as side profile angle, that would be helpful. And if have access to some calipers, if I can get a size measurement on length, width, and thickness, down to 0.5mm accuracy that would be great. Oh...
