The Macintosh SE/30

Posted on February 22, 2013 by Nicholas Weaver

The Macintosh SE/30 was one of the first computers I learned to type on, play games on, and likely is the reason I’m still in love with the Macintosh line of computers. With 32 megabytes of RAM, the SE/30 could expand up to 128 megabytes of memory and costed $6,500 at the time. Thankfully my elementary school loaned us these Macs to take home. This computer was lightning fast in its day!

Apple Keyboards

Posted on January 31, 2013 by Nicholas Weaver

Some people have a hard time figuring out which shirt to wear on a daily basis. I have a hard time deciding which keyboard I like typing on the best. All of these Apple keyboards are fantastic for different reasons. I am sure many of you remember using at least one of these bad boys during years past. I decided to resurrect and brush the dust off of them to give each one a fair shot at being my primary keyboard. The latest isn’t always the greatest!

The oldest keyboard pictured here is from 1998. If anyone has the Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh Keyboard (M3459) or any usb keyboard prior to that one please let me know. I’d love to take it off your hands!

iPhone 4 Screen Replacement

Posted on October 22, 2012 by Nicholas Weaver

I’ve been brave enough over the past few years to open up and explore my damaged iPhones. After virtually owning every iPhone thats been released, i’ve learned to repair them when they break. Whether dropped, or in this case of my friend’s white iPhone 4, repeatedly thrown into a wall after a heated argument. It doesn’t have to be the end of the road for your phone. Below are a series of pictures as I went through the process of repair. If you have a broken iPhone and need it repaired, I offer a quite reasonable rate.

: Front Phone Screen Damage

: Back Phone Damage and internal components..

: The battery and speaker housing removed.

: The battery, speaker housing, and motherboard removed.

: The entire phone completely disassembled looking at it from the back.

: The entire phone completely disassembled looking at it from the front.

: The new iPhone LCD screen and digitizer.

: The new screen in place, and putting the rest of the phone components back in.

: The iPhone completely reassembled, except for the back cover plate.

: The new back cover plate, pink was the customer’s preference.

: The front of the screen after reassembly.

: Front of the iPhone, side by side with the old screen and back cover

: Back of the iPhone, side by side with the old screen and back cover.

Mac Mini Memory Upgrade

Posted on June 1, 2012 by Nicholas Weaver

After discovering the power cable to my parent’s Mac Mini has gone bad, I decided to upgrade their computers memory because my mom does tons of stuff with pictures, or should I say, she takes a ungodly amount of pictures. The original 1GB of memory, which the Mac Mini came with, was annoyingly slow. After about 5 minutes of contemplation, I decided to purchase the maximum memory the 2009 Mac Mini can handle. Below are some pictures of the disassembly and the installation of all 8GBs of memory freshly upgraded.

: Before disassembly

: Mac Mini with the top case removed.

: Separated the disc drive from the components, placed springs and screws off to the side

: There was dust caked everywhere so I blew some compressed air across the components to clean it up a bit.

: The Mini originally came with just 1GB of memory so needless to say its gotten a bit slow.

: I upgraded the Mini’s memory to its maximum potential of 8Gb

Selling my iPhone 4

Posted on November 30, 2011 by Nicholas Weaver

Ok… so I have mentioned I would be selling my iPhone 4 before but I would really like to sell it without putting it on eBay. If no one buys it directly from me here, it will find its way to the auction.

This used to by my primary phone and it has definitely been used. This phone works perfectly fine. I just upgraded to the iPhone 4s and don’t need a back up anymore. This is an out of contract 16GB AT&T version iPhone which comes with all its accessories in never used condition except for the charging chord. I’m asking $400 for the phone but I’m open to offers. The pictures below are of the actual phone.
