Re: 5300cs Hurt Feelings?

Well, I've got an interesting follow-up to make. Basically tried a twist of what Josh suggested. Removed battery, then plugged in AC Adapter, powered right up. Put battery back in, let it charge up. But get this! Unplugged AC, let computer run on battery. Not low power mode nor sleep. The un

Free wireless access hot-spots

Ok, So I know Schlotsky's was experimenting with free wireless Internet access in Texas for a while... Has anyone been there? I was thinking it would be fun to put together a list of free Wi-Fi hot-spots (like at Starbucks or Borders, but FREE) or at least to hear people's experiences with th

Also, I knew those were NiMH batteries - don't know why I typed NiCad? Maybe I shouldn't email when I've just got back home from the pub :) All the best, Josh Just back from the pub, eh? Man, no fair!!! ;-) I hear some pubs over in the UK are experimenting with wireless internet access for pub-

Re: Upgrading a PB 5300ce

Drew, it could be a heat related problem. Maybe if you had a beefier heat sink ? Yeah, I figured. The heat sink could probably use some thermal grease. The heat sink itself can't really be made any beefier (space is very limited in the 5300), but it doesn't exactly make firm contact with the

Re: Upgrading a PB 5300ce

As a side note, my 5300cs/e (5300cs overclocked to 117MHz) works great. However, I find that leaving it turned on for weeks at a time tends to introduce strange video artifacts (like the pointer leaving parts of itself all over the display when it moves). Like I said, this only happens if t

Is there any way to upgrade the processor in the Powerbook 5300 line? And did any of the 5300s come with a secondary cache? Thanks, Craig W. THe only way to upgrade the CPU is to desolder it and resolder a faster one down. A very non-trivial task, but something I am working on. No L2 cache, no

neat image cataloger for older macs

I use ImageAXS 4.1 on my 1400, it's pretty handy. One of my main uses for the 1400 is to offload images from my digital camera when I'm on trips, via PCMCIA CF and smartmedia adapters (who needs USB?? this is a better solution...)
