Here's a funky question. I have no details about the adaptor itself - it replaces the left extremity of the screen hinge assembly with a mac monitor port, with black, red, white, yellow, blue and green wires going to the J3 series of solder points on the memory daughtercard. At some point in the past (it was *not* me!) the wires have come disconnected from their plug. Does anyone know how to repair this?Looking from above with the port facing away from me, the green yellow and white wires are on the right hand side, from top to bottom. Help? My 128k broke, my 512k had beer poured in the top of it, and my 512ke blew up. I'm resorting to an SE/30. To go along with my PB170, LC, LC II, LC 575, IIci (A/UX). And so on and so forth. |

I've seen PB170s with that hinge-external-video adapter added in from time-to-time on sale at eBay. It's too bad the wires came off the logic side because it'd be tough to guess where the wires might go. You probably guessed this already, but the colors of the wires seem to indicate corresponsing video signals (RGB), shared ground (black), and sync(white & yellow, got to figure out which one is horizontal or vertical). You might try searching the web for the P/N of the chip the wires used to be connected to. You might get lucky.I take apart every PowerBook that I liberate, so if I run across this adapter in the future, I'll try to share with you what I find. ----
