| Posted by: croissantking on 2025-05-13 00:44:57 It’s interesting with these old compact Macs which use RAM-based video as you can actually see the failed bits on screen. You see this kind of failure surprisingly often. | |

Yes - it's really useful to be able to look and go 'oh look, 1 in every 8 bits is faulty'. Accidental, but cool. In your case, @Ippkiss, since there isn't really much of a pattern to the glitches in the background I'd suspect the actual RAM rather than connections to the RAM, but I might be wrong. | |
