was decomposed and fused to terminal points within the battery bay.
IIRC, the 5300 had a flaming battery recall for repair. Only one or
two started cooking, but it was enough to bring them all back. A few
years ago Apple was still repairing these but I think the drop dead
date for all 5300 recalls finally has passed (the 7 yr window or
whatever).
When I was still using my 5300's I knew the stamps on the cases that
indicated if they had had the repair or not; but now I do not
recall. I should finally sell some of the neat old powerbooks I have...
What is the history of this 5300? New to you? anyone able to help
with the codes that show it had been in for the what, 2? recall/
replacement programs for the 5300? Maybe there were 3 things that
could get replaced, even...
