Oh, just dismembering a 15 yo G5 to get to the part number on the power supply, as one does on a Saturday night. octodon.social/media/Osr-CN1UU octodon.social/media/NNIhgubzB

@Devils_Rancher I have two in the basement lab waiting for warmer days to be melded into one

@djsundog I’ve got a PowerBook hooked up to my Nikon slide scanner & it is sssslllowwww previewing & importing images. If I can revive this beast, it’ll have a job since Nikon never updated their software for Intel.

I attempted to reseat the keyboard connector on my Macbook Air today. Unfortunately, the purported P5 screwdriver could only remove 8 of the 10 bottom screws and can't put them back.

I'm guessing it's the wrong size and mislabeled.

@suetanvil @djsundog yikes. I’ve never tried to crack an air, but they use some tiny screws on the MBP & you’ve got to watch out for hex-lobe screws that are too small to see the heads on sometimes. Ifixit has been my go-to, but I also grab service manuals whenever I come across them.
