Which I did, maybe a year or two ago, and then probably a few months later, to no avail. And now that I have another look at the place, there's still a faint dribble of activity… it's weird. Is anyone able to log in there and speak to a mod?

From 1999, module number – 1999! Lol

Can't find anything about it, let alone the manual. Anyone able to shed any light on it? Or what module with an available manual might be similar enough to use the manual? Thanks

Dunno if the light is much brighter, but it sure makes a hell of a lot of difference that it's pointing at the edge of the light spreader instead of straight up… (obviously it doesn't blow out your eyes like in the pic)

Inside the Casio GBX-100, with bonus positive MIPS conversion and gratuitous psychedelic freak-out

So, to kick it off – (speaking from the POV of someone only familiar with Casios) you know how with the advent of electroflourescent backlights, they went to a setup where instead of the current which powers the light running through the button contact, the button became just a trigger for a timer (although in some watches, holding the button…

Questions for vintage digital aficionados

I pulled the module out to have a tinker, but having never pulled hands off an analog before, balked at the difficulty, and put it back in the case. Left the watch sitting there with all 8s, and forgot about it for a couple of days… and when I…
