I have a lombard g3 powerbook, any operating system I try to boot (mac os 8.5, 8.6, restore cds, mac os 9.0, 9.1, 9.22 ...) gives me an "unimplemented trap" screen. - I've tested it with other hard drives - I've tested it with other memories - I've tested it with other memory slots - I've...

Unfortunately I couldn't find the problem. The capacitor I showed in the photo, which looked bulging, was just a plastic cover, the capacitor was perfect. In other forums many say is problem in flyback, and this is not true at all, because I BOUGHT ANOTHER IMAC, and changed PLATES, and found...

My imac had a brown color on the bottom plastic, which gave it an old and ugly feeling. I decided to paint everything with an aluminum effect spray, the result was surprising. The power button was also worn and out of paint, I decided to sand it with 300 sandpaper, then 600 with water, now the...

I found an ibook g4 in the trash, it was in bad shape, with no keyboard and broken screen, but the motherboard is great! And it's a great 1.2ghz model! I plugged it into my monitor, and I'm using it normally with an external keyboard and mouse, I intend to make a casemod, and build a miniature...

Yes I know, I did not remove the bottom shield. The chip does not generate excessive heat, it is possible to manufacture a thin copper heatsink in the future if I want to remove the shield. I intend to paint it, but I am researching translucent paintings, I want it to be a little transparent, I...

I have already recovered some notebook batteries, a tip I can give you: Open the battery, release the cells, measure each one with a multimeter, if you notice that all are + or- 3v, but one or the other is 0v, it can be that those with 0v have opened an internal protection fuse. Since the...

I found on google images, the photo of a transparent ibook G3, so I decided to do it on mine. I removed the paint using Ethanol (96% alcohol), dipped the pieces in a tray with the alcohol, and let it sit for 1 hour. Then I rubbed the pieces still immersed in the alcohol, and the paint came off...

I have a powerbook (I don't remember his model, but he doesn't have infrared, he has dvi and firewire, I think an 800mhz processor) that I bought many years ago, when I purchased it, it worked normally, but the fans were stuck due to the accumulation of dust, and the firewire circuits were...

I found a huge capacitor in the power supply, it seems to be 400v or something. He's stuffed, I've been reading about him, in some cases the vinyl cover produces the same effect, but in my case, he's really fat. I'll look for a replacement

Yes I did it. I have a brand new battery, I did this procedure, and I also tried to reset the pram, without success. I think I'll have to change the caps

I recently purchased an iMac 98, when trying to turn it on, it turns on the orange light on the button, the monitor degausses, and I hear the boot chimes that are interrupted earlier than it should. The light remains orange and nothing happens. I found that if I press the reset button (that...

I remember reading somewhere on the internet, that there was an adapter for the powerbook 170, which made it possible to connect it to a vga monitor... I wanted to know if anyone knows some mod using a protoboard or something like that to connect the soldering points of the motherboard to an...

This is my 170 powerbook, it was brought to my country in 1994, the most interesting about it, is that it is still with all booklets, manuals, and diskettes I find it interesting to share this, since it is rare to find it in these conditions

I'm going to try to dehumidify the screen of my powerbook with a new method. I have seen many people trying to bake the screen in the oven, but in my opinion, that will not work, because evaporation must occur in a slow process, the key is not high temperature, but time. I think it's necessary...

Is there a system disk that I can use to boot a powerbook 170, and which can be ejected to use another disk just as it was with the old macs? The HD of my powerbook died, I can only boot it with a system 7.1 disk, but it does not allow eject, and the machine only has a floppy drive
