pb 520c display repair
I have 2 pb 520c displays from which I'd like to get a fully fuctional one. One (A) has a toast backlight, the other (B) an LCD with ghost effects (apple claims they're normal, but they did not appear in the other LCD). Display B is usable, just it isn't pretty. Is it wiser to replace the LCD panel (from display A to B) or the backlight (from display A to B)? Or leave them alone? I guess the 2nd solution whoule be the choice, but that bulb seems so fragile... I thought to ask first, as I'm a first timer with displays, LCDs, etc... Precautions, advice? Replace? Leave it alone? Might it be that the gosthing effects are not inherent to the LCD panel but to the display circuitry? thanks in advance for the expertise, gianfranco -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Lombard or Pismo
Hi Dan, Yes I am aware that there are 4 models, thanks for informing me. Actually, I don't know what to buy. I want to hook it up to my Newton and it will be second mac for my wife to use for doing her university work. Certainly economics play a role. What are the main differences between the Lombard and Pismo? Are the RAM limits different? Are the motherboards different in terms of speed? What about other expansion possibilities. Are they both easy to open. A load of questions, I know. Maybe there is a must see website you can give me the link to. Thanks for the reply.

Re: Lombard or Pismo

Are they both easy to open. A load of questions, I know. Maybe there is a must see website you can give me the link to. www.lowendmac.com can answer all your questions. But in brief, here's what you need to know about the various PowerBooks G3: Kanga (1997-98): Had a 250 MHz G3 on a 50 MHz bus crammed into a PowerBook 3400c case and mainboard. It can support up to 160 MB of RAM via a proprietary card. It doesn't officially support OS X, but works with X under XPostFacto. It's a heck of an OS 9 PowerBook, not recommended under X even with the hack. It's not fast enough, and can't be CPU upgraded. WallStreet (1998-99): Came in two generations, with processors between 233 and 300 MHz, all on a 66 MHz bus. They used notebook SDRAM, but generic notebook SDRAM is cantankerous with it; it's best to use RAM that has been certified for a WallStreet. Officially supports up to 192 MB, but up to 512 MB seems to work. Supported under OS X up to 10.2.8, can run Panther with XPostFacto. G3 and G4 processor upgrades are available up to about 500 MHz. Avoid the cacheless first-generation 233 MHz model like the plague; it's inferior in most respects even to a 3400c. Lombard (1999-2000): Came with a 333 or 400 MHz G3, on a 66 MHz bus. Sort of a transitional model between the WS and the Pismo. Supports up to 512 MB of RAM and ships with onboard USB and SCSI--the only PowerBook with both onboard. Fully supported in OS X, all the way to the current 10.3.5, and there is a 433 MHz G4 upgrade available. Pismo (2000-01): Shipped with a 400 or 500 MHz G3 on a 100 MHz bus. Pismo is the first PowerBook that can support all versions of OS X and run them well in the stock configuation, at least in my opinion. No SCSI on this monster, but it picks up onboard FireWire. It has a PC Card slot, can support up to 1 GB of RAM, can be upgraded to DVD-RW via a third-party drive, can be upgraded to a 550 MHz G4 or a 900 MHz G3 and has a great reliability record. This is the one you want, if you can locate one and can afford it. As far as pricing, Kangas run anywhere from $125-200, Wallstreet from $175-275, Lombard from $250-$350, Pismo about $350-450. Pick up a cheap Pismo 400 and add one of those PowerLogix G3-900 upgrades for $379 and you have a killer PowerBook, even now. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

BTW I don't think you can connect a Newton to either a Lombard or a Pismo stock. I think you need a Kanga or a Wallstreet (with a serial port) to do that. Unless the Lombard has a serial Port.
