Actually the drive is made by Panasonic (LKM-F733-1) ... so another angle to search ...

No worries - this has been the official Imation Driver ... but obviously it depends on the IDE/USB bridge ... (via Archive.org) http://www.imation.com/products/data/content/0,1011,1763,00.html For Windoze there actually is a drive available for "internally" mounted drives ...

Hi, I salvaged a LS120 drive from an external chassis (without the cable) ... It's standard IDE and is detected without any problem by OS 9.2, however it does not load a driver ... fine with that so far. Unfortunately the Imation drivers which are available seem to only be working with the USB...

@bakkus did I miss it or did you actually make your images available?

Great! Thanks for both!

An image might be veeeeeery useful :)

Congrats on the revival! This gives me hope for my 840 ...

... unless you want to see some Magic Smoke :)

Great mod! Thanks for sharing.

Folks, I recently secured a non-working iMac G4 20". On receipt it did not do anything - so I disassembled it, cleaned it etc. I also re-capped the "low-voltage" part of the PSU, replacing the 5 small capacitors. Now it is happily POSTing and chiming - however the screen stays dark. Measuring...

Update: known good PSU ... No effect :(

Nice!

Mmm ... 040 non-LC-upgrade Chips - how much incl EU shipping?

Update: CD300 Plus disassembled, cleaned, grease replaced with white lithium grease -> working again :)

Very interesting ... after the soak & brush ... 2-3 times starting from "off" without problems. Last act: fully installing new OS with reboots etc - mo prob. And then the same story as before started ... starting to chime and stopping after 1/2 second ... so I will most probably a) get some...

To get this out of the way ... just measured, stable +11.9 and -12.1. And ... surprise, after the latest scrubbing it's right away booting up the ?-disk ... so I might consider another compete IPA bath ...

Thanks - just did another inspection via the magnifying glass ... and the only visually "maybe unhappy" ship turned out to be U48, which did get a nice soak & scrub - also the surroundings of the other caps did get the brush again. What I noticed is that, based on the solder marks, F6 did get...

Thanks! Anyone else seen these symptoms and might have another idea than PSU?

So, I finally was able to procure an 840AV - the seller telling me, he recapped it - to no avail. No offence, when I did have a look the solder job was not optimal. De-capping, spending a night in IPA, recapped ... connected - the 840 sprung to life, chimed and presented me with a disc symbol...

@canton ... any continuation with your journey?
