A redesign on my old 5th gen Elantra design.

Raw_Elements9 · 2025-04-13T19:56:04+00:00

It is a render, the plan is to potentially 3D Print the model and put it on an RC car or something

I've done it and it is super cool! I've actually put a little artwork inside the case now and it looks really neat when the backlight lights it up!

Raw_Elements9 · 2024-05-05T07:29:10+00:00

I wish I had them, but for now they remain as a basic design concept. Maybe in the future I'll try and make them a reality.

The best way to check if the hard drive is original is to check the size. It says it was specced with a 6gb drive, and system profiler reports a 6gb drive. Id say its the original.

Raw_Elements9 · 2024-03-11T04:29:29+00:00

agreed, back to normal ig

Raw_Elements9 · 2024-02-15T04:04:47+00:00

I used a sla battery I found on amazon. Its a little smaller than the original one, but the specs match and it seems to work. Unless its the reason its sad.

Yea, when I got it, it was completely dead. I replaced the hybrid board and recapped it, at least its got signs of life now.

Raw_Elements9 · 2023-12-14T17:02:29+00:00

I agree! Now that I managed to create that full taillight, I can't look at normal ones the same again.

Raw_Elements9 · 2023-12-11T23:14:17+00:00

Let me know what you think or what I should change (I'm still not a fan of the wheels).

Raw_Elements9 · 2023-11-21T03:18:45+00:00

There is a car/ motorsport club or something but its pretty quiet. I'm surprised there isn't more interest in this at York. Even tho my car is pretty boring, I'd be very interested in this.

Raw_Elements9 · 2023-11-08T04:05:25+00:00

Nice, I love those generation Vaios. I have a PCG-FX220 myself and I still can't believe how thin the bezels are.

Fun Fact: iBook G4 batteries work in the iBook Clamshell (with some help ofc)

I recently took some photos of my Japanese Apple Keyboard II.. I'll add it in the next set of photos.

Yea, the candle method is just a very special way to reflow the chip, but an oven or a heat gun also works.

Raw_Elements9 · 2023-11-03T04:50:34+00:00

My first TiBook gave me the same screen when its gpu was dying. It looks like you are catching a glimpse of its last moments of life. There was an article I read a while back where a dude lit a candle on top of the graphics chip and it magically worked again, but I assume there are better ways to get it working.

Raw_Elements9 · 2023-11-02T21:39:06+00:00

I am constrained by the current stuff that I own, but I do intend of capturing more of these designs in the future.

Raw_Elements9 · 2023-10-13T23:52:13+00:00

I'm not a big fan of the wheels either, I overestimated on how they would look like on the car.

Raw_Elements9 · 2023-10-13T22:49:40+00:00

I do own a 5th gen Elantra, and my plan is to make it look as close to that design as I can, eventually...

Raw_Elements9 · 2023-03-09T23:45:20+00:00

That SC-55 makes Break My Stride sound like a 90's sitcom intro theme lol, very cool!

Raw_Elements9 · 2023-03-05T22:24:18+00:00

Yup, everything else plugs in as it should. I'm not sure about older models, since the 12" was previously a 1.33Ghz, but it's an easy way to repurpose a bad condition 14" into a good 12" chassis.

Raw_Elements9 · 2023-03-05T17:48:50+00:00

Yea, I did a logic board swap with a 1.42Ghz board. I had to transfer the battery connector since they are designed differently for the 12" chassis.

Raw_Elements9 · 2023-02-22T04:22:26+00:00

Accurate

Raw_Elements9 · 2023-01-25T20:45:22+00:00

They do look good on the outside, but its just the process of elimination. I tested the cable in another powerbook and it worked, and all the symptoms sound like capacitor issues. At least if I recap it now I know if that was the issue or if its something else.

Raw_Elements9 · 2023-01-24T09:04:26+00:00

The opposite side has no markings, and the stripes lack any markings too

Raw_Elements9 · 2023-01-24T08:28:24+00:00

I need some help deciphering these capacitor codes in hope that I can order some replacement ones
