Experimental Transparent Keyboard Transparent Keyboard
I used this product for the column connections in the construction of a transparent keyboard (thru which a backlight is visible) for a multicolor LED strobe/flashlight. The paint has a suitably low resistance and makes a good contact with the snap domes when depressed, and the uP easily senses the contact . . . .

Generator in HO
I build circus models in HO and have this generator wagon that I wanted to light. I did not like the unsightly wires that were necessary to light the led in the wagon so I used your paint. And now there are no wires hanging down nor leading to the power source.

Athlon XP CPU Modification

Picture #1: The processor before the modification.
Picture #2: The processor after painting across the cut-away right-most bridge with a toothpick. I added some additional Conductive Paint. It looks a bit sloppy (sorry).
Picture #3: The computer screen showing the processor recognized as an Athlon MP!

I bought this conductive paint to make a small trace on a couple of Athlon XP CPUs to enable the multiprocessing feature that AMD only enabled if they were marketing it as an Athlon MP. I am not sure how many people are interested in doing this particular processor modification, as there are many faster processors now. It is amazing how fast some of the new processors are.

I was pleased that it was successful at restoring the right-most L5 bridge of my AMD Athlon XP 2200+ processor. This bridge is normally cut away at the factory to disable some circuitry that allows it to operate in a multi-processor environment. Symmetric multi-processing capability is what distinguishes the Athlon XP from the Athlon MP. After connecting the two points to make a new bridge, I verified that my dual-processor motherboard now recognizes the processor as an Athlon MP 2200+!

Success!

Here are two articles that detail what I did:
