I think I'm going to put black heatshrink over the LCD wiring to dress it up. The main cable from the mainboard will be routed under the acrylic and hidden- just need to make that 1 inch longer cable.

Fujifilm x-pro 1 top plate from inside. Solution of fuji broken hot shoe problem.

Hi. Sorry for my english but i don't use it very often.

I have met the common problem with hot shoe in fuji x-pro1, it felt off with my strobe. The screws were not broken, but they have been loosened somehow.

First I've tried to glue hot shoe to the camera but that option didn't solve the problem. There were connection problem - sometime my strobe worked and sometime did not.

I've opened my camera and tighten 4 screws from inside of top plate. One of the screws was hardly accessible but i've used sharp scalpel to rotate him slowly from side to side. Whole operation took about 3 hours. I haven't got service manual and only help in unscrewing the camera body was this video youtu.be/6koZ-3KqahA It isn't too complex but when you watch video closely you will see where are screws holding top plate. There are many of them hidden under the lining. I used technique from video, a blank card tape, and I've described and drawn shortly all screws. Lately tat was very helpful when i was putting element back together.

The biggest problem are connections from mainboard to viewfinder detector and exposure compensation wheel. You must be careful and patient to connect them again.

Now my fuji works like new.

I add photo from inside of the top plate on X-pro1 maybe for someone it will be useful.

Good luck in repairing.

BFG Nvidia video card for PCI-Express-2 (at least 8x...) that came from a deceased computer left on the street. This card still works - but the mainboard (or the CPU...) for the computer is fried. Taken by a Nikon D40x at ISO 400 with a Nikon 18-55mm non-VR kit lens (at 55).

Marked in yellow are pieces of yellow tape or foil tape take that need to be lifted (only the black WWAN cable needs to be lifted); marked in red are the 8 screws that need to be undone (be careful not to loose any!); marked in purple are the only connectors that need to be disconnected; and in green are the bits of foil tape you will have to loosen/ remove to get the mainboard out

While my Macbook is being serviced (keyboard repacement, and LCD inverter / LCD screen replacement ... love applecare), I thought that I would build myself a cheap PC to run adobe lightroom (yeah for cross platform compatability).

For the princly price of $601.00, I built myself the following system:

Gigabyte G31-ES2L motherboard ($97.00)

Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 CPU ($200.00)

Kingston PC6400 DDR2 4GB Ram ($75.00)

Western Digital Caviar SE 80Gb SataII HDD ($72.00)

Antec NSK 1380 MicroATX case w/ 350w Power supply ($157.00)

I use an external DVD ROM drive because I'm too cheap to buy one to install the OS. I've still got to get a WIFI card for it, the spare ones I have don't work when the computer has more than 2GB RAM installed (don't ask...)

Took around 1 hr to build, and is running Windows7 ultimate beta. Never seen lightroom run so quick!

Popping this thing out of the aluminum shell for the first time was the hardest part of the whole disassembly/upgrade process. I ended up pushing on the heatsink vs. using screwdrivers to pull the board out, since the latter sounded like a really dangerous thing to do and wasn't working for me.

Do you like my pic? I would be happy about a coffee over Paypal, you know it: Admins like coffee black and much :)

3D crossview picture.

First 3D pictures of the adjusted setup for the waterfigures 2010. After a lot of technical problems. A bug into the last new software 9.1 version for the Altera compiler. This took me a full day to recover 3 faulty DE1 boards. Now I found via the Altera forum the cause and all the boards works again.

This picture is noting special, but is the result of adjusting several timers and hardware. Also the synchronisation of the 2 cameras is added and works perfect.

This picture show a highspeed projectile that come from the left side and 2 little "LEGO" pieces floating into the air. The setup is now ready for the real work next week.

Technical data:

D300 + D200 Nikon DSLR camera.

Camera space 120mm.

Macro lenses 2 x Nikor AF105/2.8D micro.

Frame real live size : 100mm

F29 diafragma, manual bulb shutter mode.

2 Flashes SB-80-DX TTL controlled by the central hardware controller.

1 DE1 FPGA cyclone II mainboard at 50MHz clock.

Digital waveforms into a flash at high speed PWM, digital powercontrol, frequentie control and type waveform.

2 laser detector systems.

1 magnet current gun for the projectile at 150V 10A 4msec activation 840uF/330V capacity (flash type capacity).

Projectile 4mm x 20mm.

Asus Mainboard with Corsair DDR RAM

Thats my computer. It works with an i7 CPU with 3.4GHz and uses 4 disks. The first one for the operating-system, two mirrored ones for the data and one for daily backups.

Till last week it had the standard Intel-fan mounted to the CPU but with this setup I had a termal problem when all kernels of the i7 CPU worked on their maximum performance. So I decided to install a BeQuiet-fan - and now the maximum temperature is 54 degrees Celsius even at maximum performance. And the side benefit: its really silent!

The back of the mainboard, as you can see there is a second ram slot which can also take a 2GB stick of DDR2! Now to reassemble it all!

It looks like a ceramic EPROM to me.

Apparently there are some differences at least in the sprite timing on the 6569R1 but chip unfortunately doesn't work so I couldn't check that out.
