    macintosh portable non backlit video cable

    Unfortunately i know.. i took the bigger version from usa (i'm in europe) and when the package arrived... surprise! I'm start to thinking of soldering wires one by one directly on the display pins. It's a shame my portable can't live anymore because of a stupid cable

    Mac Portable hangs

    hi all, my mac portable can't resume when hd is powered down for inactivity. The system hangs and the pointer is stuck like he is loading/searching. I tried with 6.0.8 and 7.1 with no success. The hd is a quantum prodrive LPS.

    5120 Portable video cable

    yes, this is my normal "modus operandi". In this case the seller offered me a discount, i replied i would have to think about it, keep my damaged screen and have the money partially back or proceed through paypal as item not as described but the seller gave to me 80e with apologies the day after...

    5120 Portable video cable

    where are these transistor placed? on the control board? Can it be a zebra stripes contact fault? I cleaned the contacts between the stripes and the panel but didn't remove the frame.

    5120 Portable video cable

    yeah but if i tell you the price i paid for this panel you would change your mind... It is not my fault because i asked if he was selling it as untested or working and the answer was "working". He had to declare he wasn't able to test it before selling. Btw shit happens.

    5120 Portable video cable

    ok, i made the cable but the result is the same before re-making it (maybe the old one was good). You can look here: https://s32.postimg.org/gfcy1t6w5/DSC_0514.jpg Do you think is something related to the contacts between the zebra stripes and the display itself? I bought the display on ebay...

    5120 Portable video cable

    thank you for reply. Before i read this i used an ultra-ata cable but i think i had some problems with the connector that fits on the mobo. I powered up the system and it smelled like something is burning than i suddenly stripped off the power wire. I don't know why but i think something was...

    5120 Portable video cable

    Hi all, i was fixing a broken internal display cable for 5120... it seems a bit stupid but i cut the cable in two parts to bypass the broken piece but i don't remember if the cable is straight or cross. Checking pics on the web doesn't help. Can i have a detailed pic or the pinout? thanks
