PB 1400 startup
I'm having trouble getting a PB 1400cs going. The battery got totally run down (left on, I think), but now even with the battery out it will not boot. Put the AC adapter cord in, the screen flashes rhythmically (about once a second) with what looks like video noise, and there's a chirp from the speaker at about the same rate. Even without pressing the power key this chirping starts. Nothing seems to work- Power Manager reset button, key sequences, nothing. Do I need to oepn this up and replace the motherboard battery? thanks. Bob -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Duo display compatibility questions
All, I am trying to understand the complexities of swapping displays between various versions of the PowerBook Duo and could use some help. I have a Duo 230 (passive matrix greyscale) with a bad on-board SCSI (I somehow trashed it during a hard drive swap.). I also have a good Duo 280 motherboard. It is my understanding that the 280 motherboard will not support the passive matrix display from the 230, correct? Now, I know where I can get a cheap parts Duo 250 (active matrix screen). If I were to buy it, could I: 1) Can I use the active matrix screen from the 250 with the 280 motherboard? If so, do I need any extra/different parts/cables? 2) Can I use the motherboard from the 250 with the 230 passive matrix screen? (My understanding is that this is possible, but I'm mostly interested in it from the standpoint of building a 230 out of the leftovers should option 1 be doable.)

Re: OS9 on a PB 3400
I think it's probably a machine gestatlt ID problem. The installer looks for the iMac and doesn't find it. I've got an original generic OS 9 CD I bought at CompUSA and it installed fine on my PB3400.

Re: OS9 on a PB 3400
Sorry, I forgot to post this to the list. Regards, Bob Eye Dallas, TX Hope, Use the software install disk. This one has the various applications as separate installations. However, DO NOT use the top level MacOS system install. This one will look for the type of machine for which it was intended (iMac, G4, etc.). Rather, dig through the various folders until you find one marked System Install (or something like that). In this folder is another MacOS installer program. This one *should* work on any Mac. I say should, because I used my MacOS Software Install disk from my Bondi iMac (now running 8.6) to install 8.0 on my PB 5300cs. But I couldn't use the included 8.1 updater to go from 8.0 to 8.1 - I had to download the 8.1 updater directly from Apple. Good luck. Regards, Bob Eye Dallas, TX From: hope and the anchor [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: OS9 on a PB 3400 Date: Tue, 4 Jun 2002 12:51:34 -0400 thanks for your reply! there's a two CDs: one labelled software install and one labelled software restore. the install CD says version 9.0.4, so I figured that would be the one I'm suppoed to use. I set the PB to never sleep and changed the extension settings and booted from the CD with no problems but when I launch the Mac OS Installation application it starts and then goes to a this software cannot be installed on your machine error. should I be using the software restore CD instead of the install CD?
