Re: when/how to clean keyboard keys?
One thing you could also try is disconnecting the keyboard, flipping it over and thoroughly spraying the underside with electrical contact cleaner. As far as I can tell this stuff evaporates without a trace and is meant to clean up the kind of goop that could munge up your keyboard. Cheers, Don Silver I'm thinking about pulling off all the keys one by one and cleaning the action(s) to see if that helps. = __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Careful there... Depending on what brand of contact cleaner you use... some of that stuff can damage/erode/discolor plastic compnents. I don't think spraying the backside of the keyboard would be *that* helpful as there isn't a large percentage of the keyboard circuit board exposed. I also would think that the original problaem is coming from a heavily used keyboard which has (1) contaminated the keys and their hinges with a lot of sticky residue and (2) worn out the resiliency of the rubber 'springs' under the keys... I would say the best course of action would be to disassemble each key from the top and clean each one (and it's matching parts -plastic clips, rubber boots, ect.) in warm soapy water as suggested. Careful to watch how the pieces go back together whn you take them apart, as if you don't reassemble them properly, the keys can feel just as bad as if they had worn out rubber boots... Additionally, I would take some compressed air and blow out the pressure connector where the keyboard connects to the mainboard. Obviously, remove the ribbon cable attaching the keyboard from the connector first... A lot of times a loose connection or dirty connection can cause a few keys not to function at all or function erratically... I've seen that happen plenty of times. Cheers, Sionnach __ Do You Yahoo!?

. Re: PB5300 and Kanji items
When you do the installation of the OS, be sure to select for installation all the items that apply to language systems on the Mac. OS 8.5/8.6 gives you the option at one stage which allows you to specifically register the installation to focus on Japanese and miss out a long list of other languages. From memory, I think that this equips you with the input method for the Kanji. If it is not actually part of the OS, then it then comes as a part of the Japanese Language Kit which includes a number of Kanji and alphabetic or Roman fonts (type sets). For 8.5/8.6 there may be a specific, updated language kit. Ours was installed using the 8.5/8.6 update files for an earlier version. The font files are pretty heavy stuff, and your extensions folder will have a number of new things in it. Of course you will be sure that all these extensions are enabled. What options exist for downloading Japanese language kits for OS 8.1 on my home computer? I pulled out an 8.1installation CD but couldn't find language kits for it. Is there any way I can pull the necessary parts off an 8.6 installation disk and drop them on my System Folder for 8.1? I've searched through Google and the apple site but haven't a real clue how to use or find a kit for 8.1. Incidentally, I followed the directions for 8.6 and 9.0, and now pull up mostly flawless Japanese script on my work iMac. However, I might be missing one or two fonts because some sites still come up as gibberish. Frank Modica Prairie School 2102 E.

The panel didn't directly power the unit. The leather ones were cool too as well as denim ones and even one with a bullet hole in it (honest!).

USB for an older PowerBook?
I know this has been discussed on the list before, but perhaps someone has new information... Is there any way to adapt a USB device to a PowerBook 5300? I know that most PCMCIA cards are out because this PowerBook is not CardBus-compliant. Are there any 16-bit USB PC-card adapters? I have searched and have yet to find one. I tried to use an iMate USB-ADB adapter (by Griffin Technology) in reverse, using an old ADB keyboard cable to connect it with the 5300's ADB port. I connected a USB mouse to the iMate through a USB gender-changer, installed the mouse driver, and it did not work at all. The iMate's own driver does not load without any USB or PCI bus present, but Griffin says it is not necessary for mice and keyboards anyway. I know there are USB-SCSI adapters, but I doubt they could be used to connect a mouse or keyboard. Any advice for me? Thanks. - Josh -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Battery Woes

Re: flash memory
I popped it in the 5300 and it reformated the card, even though my PowerMac 6500 had already done so. I am guessing that is the age difference between the machines. In fact I have not done it elegantly, I cheated. I simply copied an OS 8.1 startup floppy system folder. So it is using a Disk Enabler to boot up, you get a funny message during startup about this, then I borrowed a few 8.6 control panels and extensions to make it more useful. Right now it is about 17mb on a 32mb disk and runs great. Works for me so far. joseph -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

My First power book 520
Hi all, I am a Mac novice and was recently given a PowerBook 520. I bought a power adapter through eBay for it and was able to get it up and running. Seems to have a 25 MGH Motorola processor 8.1 OS and a maybe a 120 MB hard Drive. The more I discover about it the more intrigued I get, I just ordered a AAUI transceiver to try to connect it to a RJ45 then to my internet cable. I was wondering if I should get an external 9GB SCSI Hard Drive that I see all over EBay, but then I need to hunt down a SCSI adapter from my Power book. I was able to find a Apple color Monitor that I may be able to plug the Power Book into if once again I can find a video connector for it. I wondered did they ever make a docking station for this model. The problem I see is that I have no room on my hard drive to install Netscape or Internet explorer without using external storage. Is this worth the learning experience or am I taking a laptop and converting it to a desktop? I wondered what places are out there with downloads (preferably free) All I have on this is MS Word5.1.
