    Power Mac 6100 PSU Dyna Comp. DCF 803

    those aren't "missing", they're not populated on that board. look, you can see a jumper placed on the lower 2 holes of the DIP footprint.

    Toon's good finds ... and the lost ones

    imo an awful name for a book as it hijacks search results when looking for resources on LWII repairs 😠 neat concept though

    SE/30 recapper recommendation — Melbourne or AU-based?

    yeah this is something i've mused about. at this point, most "recap" jobs are really "board repair" jobs. chances are you'll be messing with broken pads, rotten traces, and possibly damaged surface mount components. this is the type of (expensive) job that in most cases is only viable in very...

    Quantum 80S drive not spinning

    agree with @croissantking when i encounter a drive with stiction like that I generally hook it up to a Zulu-Compatible SCSI emulator in Initiator mode, free the platter, and it starts imaging it right away. then it goes into the scrap pile :)

    PowerBook 3400c - How To Remove Unwanted Security

    you don't mention what the security looks like, or when it triggers. is this a boot message? have you wiped the disk completely when installing other OS versions? this is a rather vague issue and does not really prove anything. that sounds more like disk corruption to me. there are no firmware...

    How to remove rust from EMF shield

    What pins would you scope first on a simasimac SE/30 with no sound?

    i dunno man. you're continuously asking for help with 1 (one) board, and just keep posting endless threads asking about one tiny detail about said board. by my count, you've made 11 (eleven!) threads about this one singular buggered up board. it's just an endless loop here. if you had...

    What pins would you scope first on a simasimac SE/30 with no sound?

    is this the same /30 you've been prodding at for years? It would help if you kept all your diagnosis questions in one thread, instead of just making endless new ones. anyways, i'd first make sure that there really is no sound. test speaker connector, test headphone jack, verify all connections...

    upgrading the ibook clamshell's L2 cache to 1MB

    i would recommend avoiding silly " mac os x gold edition " distributions and sticking to proper OS releases. what do you really need 10.4 for?
