      nicely done.

      The "E" in "Javascript" stands for "Easy"

        @diemen112 Tried four different ones, all allegedly specific to the LM201W01 SL A3 that was in the iMac. None worked.

          @sonicgoose said in My first Magic Mirror build in an old imac:

          I’ve been doing the same thing with a 20" white Intel iMac, but have had one helluva time. None of the display controllers work with the native LG 1600x1050 display Apple put in these things, so I’ve basically gutted the iMac and am putting in a new display, etc.

          Not to hijack the thread, but this is how mine turned out.

            also not wanting to hijack thread… but what weather module are you using? :)

            thanks

                @diemen112 Honestly, that all looks like CSS

                    @diemen112 That’s default calendar module that comes with MagicMirror.

                      First off, apologies for the necrobump — didn’t see a rule against it & did see the prompt but didn’t feel this warranted a new topic. Apologies if this is a breach of rules or etiquette here.

                      Anyway, @sonicgoose, I just came into an incredibly similar model (2006 iMac per the box, not sure of the specific model yet — diving into it tomorrow) without a motherboard, and my immediate thought was to turn it into an MM, leading me here. Wondering if you’d be down to do a quick rundown of your build or would be open to any question I might have after I take it apart tomorrow?

                      Thanks much!
