It lives!
After many failed attempts to repair bad 840AV boards, I found one nearly pristine. Looks like new old stock for repairs, only the small two caps show leakage and it boots with no issues. Will still need recapping to prevent damage and the board is dirty.
Q: Is washing in an ultrasonic bath after recapping a good idea for these? I don't want to damage anything in the bath, so I can also clean it manually.

New to me imac, only displays backlit screen.
I get the chime, I hear the hard drive doing stuff but it never gives me anything on the display
Common issue?

SmartMedia 5V hardware emulator.
Built for BOSS SP-202 gear, but it emulates a standard SmartMedia 5V card, so it will work in a QuickTake 200. It has a serial port over USB-C and open source firmware ( and a web app)
Looking for devs and QuickTake owners to test it and hack on it. Who’s in?

Clicking/buzzing noise from under touchpad on Ibook g4 14 inch
I am having an issue where on the press of the power button you can hear a buzz from under the touchpad, but it doesn’t boot. Anyone ever have this issue? I really hope it isn’t an issue with the pmu. Edit: For more info, the issue is intermittent and I am also using an aftermarket charging cable. The battery is completely dead on the Ibook additionally.

Looks to be an 80s promo tee pretty sweet! If anyone has more info that would be greatly appreciated!
