5300 REA thanks
Hi all, Thanks to Remy Ed for their 5300 REA input. Looks like this is going to take some more time to get some results. My friend had a friend in the US call Apple with the number someone on the list gave about the adapter recall. They didn't know anything about the 5300 REA. This fellow then called Apple tech suport was told there is no such 5300 rework program currently running. Sounds like the same story I got in Tokyo. I wonder if he was just talking to people who don't know Macs made before the G3 or IBook. Now that I think of it I bought a PB 190 about 4 years ago from a non profit organization who had received them as a donation. I was a newbie at the time and it came with a Japanese system so I gave up trying to figure how to use it. My Japanese husband took it it broke. The authorized Apple repair place he took it to said it was the logic board which he paid over 70,000 yen (over 500 US) to replace. I don't have the serial number handy but now I wonder. My friend leaves for the US within the next 24 hours so it's too late for her to lug my PB with her without knowing if it will be covered by the REA so I'll have to push on this end. She's bringing hers though. Wonder if the REA only works in English speaking countries where people tend to be more assertive about pushing for things. Will tell the list if I get any results . Regards, Zita PS. On the which powerbook do you use question. I use both a 520C a Duo 280C for basic email and writing. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Major Problems for some 1400's with Sonnet Upgrade
I recently upgraded my 1400 with a Sonnet G3 and I believe was running 8.6. I did not experience any problems. 90% will experience no problems whatsoever with a G3 upgrade for the 1400, and I am assuming that the American OS 8.6 is fine. But there are Danes, Finns, French, Germans, Australians, British, Swedes, Dutch and Japanese (Did I leave anyone out?) also on this list and those OS's might be affected on some 1400's. If it's your 1400, however, it is 100% for you, and Sonnet has not publicized this quirk at all. According to them, it is an issue with any G3 card, so they blame Apple, somewhat like Goodyear expecting Volkswagen to manufacture cars to match their tires. A simple notice on Sonnet's website would have been extremely helpful, just as most vendors tell you beforehand the screws won't fit the newer, larger HD's, but not to worry. This should not discourage anyone from purchasing the G3 upgrade if you wish. Simply know that if you or someone you know experiences the problems I described, the answer is to go to 9.1 or down to 8.5 so you will not go through the three weeks of computer hell that I did. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Focus Lapiscolor MV16 Video/Ethernet Card
Hello Everyone, I just had installed a Focus Lapiscolor MV16 Video/Ethernet Card in my 5300C and can't seem to recognize the ethernet function. My set up: 40MB RAM, 750 MB HD, OS 7.6.1. The software installing said it would install 4 control panels, one of which did not seem to load (network control panel). I tried all the usual and recommended methods to try and reinstall properly but nothing worked. Anyone have any advise or luck with such a card? Bob Geiger Work like you don't need the money.

Re: PowerBook 5300c vs. 1400c
Heather, Yes, I was going to say that I considered both those others before choosing a 3400. The speed, display, RAM capacity, as I recall, made up my mind for me. The 3400 is a great powerbook, if you can locate one in your price range, which you may well be able to do with PB prices coming down. Beverly Overstock.com had some 3400/200s on sale for $299.

Re: Any hope for PB 1xx batteries?
Normally, I'm just a lurker on this list, but I have to correct one posting concerning reviving NiCad batteries. It's not a good idea to run NiCad's all the way down if they are connected in series. What ends up happening is that at some point one cell in the string runs out of juice and cannot supply current - from that point on it is subject to reverse voltage, which is very damaging to the cell. You can ruin even a good string of NiCads this way. There is a technique for improving the performance of NiCads by connecting them to a very low impedance load. The theory here is that over time the Cadmium builds up into large crystals at the anode, and subjecting the battery to large current tends to break up these crystals and restore them to the small state, which is lower impedance. However, you don't want to fully discharge the battery in this manner, and you have to be careful not to blow up the battery (the high current heats up the battery, too). For more information on rechargeable batteries, you can go to this link: http://www.buchmann.ca/ Cheers, Kurt I'm just a guy who occasionally stops to help people on the information highway. P.S. I have a G3 Powerbook 1400 (best laptop keyboard ever made), and a Powerbook 520 that I loan to my less mobile friends.

They show the typical signs of use (they only run the system for about 10 minutes.) Is there anything that can be done that might get these batteries to at least hold some charge (say 45 mins or so) or are they just scrap? About the only thing you can try is to deep dischargethem. Do this by connecting a load to the battery terminals. The load should be 10 ohms or more. Leave it with the load connected overnight and then recharge it. If it still doesn't hold a charge it's pretty much dead. At this point the only thing you can do is to open the battery up, remove the dead cells and swap in good cells from other batteries. -- Clark Martin Macintosh Consultant Another designated driver on the Information Super Highway -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Type of PowerBook
Well, here's the tabulation (as best as I could). Some Duos weren't specified as what model, so I lumped those together in a 'Misc Duos category' and pretty much every other model has a separate section: Portable - 2 100 - 7 140 - 2 145(b) - 7 150 - 3 160 - 2 165 - 3 170 - 13 180(c) - 5 190 - 6 520(c) - 12 540(c) - 13 5300 - 15 1400 - 12 3400 - 8 Wallstreet - 4 Lombard - 3 Pismo - 9 iBook (old) - 4 iceBook - 1 FrankenBook - 1 TiBook - 2 ( 1 Terminal Lust) Duos (un-named) - 5 230 - 4 250 - 1 270c - 1 280c - 3 2300 - 2 Newtons - 5 eMate - 1 Lots of parts Cheers, Eric --- Sent on Eric's PowerBook 540c Visit http://schwarztech.cjb.net Check out the new look the updated LiveLine --- -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Type of PowerBooks
About the big list of PowerBooks in my previous post: Maybe I should've specified - since I posted the question to start the count, I figured I'd tally up what everyone has as best I could (so far) and post it on the list. I got a few emails asking me why the heck I had so many PowerBooks and how I managed to get so many, etc, etc. All I can say is that I have a 170, a parts 520, and a 540c.

Wanted: Rev. C PC Card Cage for PB 500 series
I have a PowerBook 500 w/PowerPC that I'm looking to put on the AirPort network at work. I wanted to know if anyone on this list had a Rev C PC Card cage for it for sale.

Re: another 520/540c
BAH ! You shall NEVER be a mad SCIENTIST ! AWAY with YOU ! : ) Mad Dog You know, in an odd way, you finally resolved that lingering, nagging doubt about over-clocking. On one hand, I agree with you. I have never bought a kit for anything before and do all my own repairs and upgrades. (Don't even ask how many desktop Macs this has involved.) All I'm going to use the 520/540c is for text production and *maybe* email (with an external modem). It needs to be over-clocked about as much as it needs to be painted candy apple red. I have always entertained the notion of over-clocking something but sometimes you don't do something just because you can.

The supplied heat sink is designed for 33/66 MHz, maximum. The 5xx series is cooled by conduction, by a heatsink of limited size, which cannot be extended due to the constraints of the card cage.
