Re: 5300 Screen Problem
I can only speak from my experience with the 500 series, but my 540 has done this before--all kinds of crazy patterns started showed on the monitor. The problem was the video ribbon being loose at the connection to the monitor. Pressing gently on the monitor housing at the spot above the connector was all it took to reseat things--didn't have to open up the PB at all. Cheers, Don Silver The screen sometimes is fine, but mostly there are big blocks or stripes or other gargage all over the screen. None of this shows up on an external monitor. = __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Dead 5300
--- Macluver [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just recently got a 5300. It's worked perfectly until now. I bought a 32MB RAM card and proceded to install it. After that it wouldn't boot. So I took it out and tried without the card thinking it may be bad. Still nothing. I reconnected the keyboard cables also. It's just dead. Even using the AC Adapter. Any ideas? I can't think of what I did wrong. Did you try reseting the Power Manager? Try putting everything back together, then plug it in to the AC Adapter and press the reset button. Hold it in for a minute and see if it will start. If your PRAM battery is causing the problem, sometimes if you remove the external battery and just connect it to the AC Adapter without the external battery in the machine, the PRAM will behave itself and allow you to boot. Again, you may have to hold the reset button in. Cheers, Sionnach __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: 5300 Screen Problem
I had to replace the logic board :( This actually happened after about 3 months to the board I had only just recently replaced. I wasn't too pleased as you could imagine, and the dealer here said 'cop it sweet mate. I'll sell you a new one' (about AU$600). I said not likely, and phoned apple here and told them the story. They said OK, we'll have a word to him (the dealer), and he had to replace it free of charge. Bet that hurt :) good luck with it Jim ian ___ PowerBooks wrote ___ that looks similar...what board did you replace?

PowerBook batteries...
Hi all, A quick question... Will NiMH and Li-ion batteries that shipped w/ the 3400 and Kanga G3, respectively, work with a 5300? I know 5300 NiMH batteries are forward compatible with these machines but I don't know if their batteries will work in a 5300... I'm mostly interested in a Li-ion battery for the 5300 (too bad the original Sony's kept exploding!) ;-) Peace, Drew Anyone can fly, all you have to do is throw yourself at the ground and miss. -Douglas Adams, Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
