    Self-destructive GeForce 6200 in G4 Cube

    The blue-board XFX 6200 is not only older than the much more commonly seen black ones, it also likes to destroy itself. I flashed one (with the downclocked ROM!) to see what difference in heat it makes to my black 6200, and after about 15 minutes of iTunes audio playback and nothing else...

    Caution: Re-capping a Radeon 9000 Pro

    I recently re-capped my Radeon 9000 Pro with all tantalum or polymer caps as it had some that were starting to look a bit sad around the base. It worked fine for about an hour and then I got a pink screen full of lines that quickly went to black and my video card started smoking. I pulled the...

    How Many Farads is the iMac G3 (Blueberry)'s Main Capacitor?

    Hello, if one has to revive things for nostalgia, how many farads is the main capacitor (the main big and black one) used in the iMac G3 (Blueberry)? I wonder where this capacitor sold? Thank you.

    MacBook Pro 2010 15'' GPU Kernel Panic --> Capacitor Replacement

    I have a MacBook Pro 2010 15'' which gets a GPU Kernel Panic after a while. I assume this is the bad low ESR 330µF 2V Tantalum-Capacitor used in this Mac. I want to replace it with a low ESR 470µF 2,5V Niobium-capacitor, since this is the only capacitor I have at home and could possibly fit into...

    Resolved Missing components on MacBook Pro Motherboard

    So I had recently bought a used MacBook Pro 2016 13 inch Touch Bar from a local seller. After some use I've noticed the speakers sounded a bit funky so I went ahead to open it but noticed that some of the screws were worn down. Upon taking the bottom cover off I immediately noticed that there...
