Re: 1400- battery rebuild
Hi all! Questions on this topic -- where (online? mail it in? resources?) can I get a 1400 battery rebuilt? What kind of performance/results after the rebuild? Does it cost significantly less than new battery? Not heard of this before and am quite intrigued... Thanks very much... aly 1400cs KS, US Garry Hamblin wrote: I had mine rebuilt six months ago.

Re: 1400- battery rebuild
Gosh, that is lucky you had someone locally who had the knowledge to do it. Though this used to be a Mac-friendly town (the university was almost exclusively Mac) it's gone the way of the PC (#1 reason I got my 1400cs for a ridiculously low price -- nobody knew what it was!) and anyone who knew how to do this sort of thing seems to have disappeared. This story reminds me of when I used to have to solder my own printer cables (alas, for PCs, back when 9-pin dot matrix was all the rage)... Thanks for the tip; I'll see if I can't look in nearby bigger cities for people who specialize in this sort of thing. That's a good price for a budget-conscious student like myself. cheers -- aly Garry Hamblin wrote: I had mine rebuilt by a local outfit called Battery Boys here in Saskatoon.

The 1400 battery is a Nicad I believe so I was told it was just a matter of replacing the battery cells. The replacement of the batteries includes some specialized spot welding which precludes you taking a kitchen knife and prying open the battery enclosure and doing it yourself. Evidently the Li-on batteries which later PowerBooks use cannot be rebuilt. According to them anyway. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Yes, I've often wondered if the newer Macs (G4 and all that) are compatible with the IR features of things like Palm units (with the Palm software installed, of course). Palm doesn't support IR transfer for my 1400cs, or so they said (I have Palm III series units anyway -- just call me the retro lounge!). I wish I knew a way around this.

Re: 1400 battery and infrared
That's interesting -- the battery part. Did you buy a new one or a reconditioned old one? I'm interested simply because my original one won't work for longer than 16 minutes or so -- even with the reconditioning program (run a number of times, under 7.6.1 and 8.1).

Re: 1400 woes
I've a nupower G3 upgrade, in two machines, actually, and have noticed a similar intermittent problem but cannot identify a pattern. (I thought for a while it only happened after I was online with the Farallon card, but I do not see how that could be making the difference!) Neither seemed to do this before we upgraded to G3 (oh, and 60 and 64 M RAM). We have to be very careful to make *sure* our machines sleep and shut off when we ask them to. (When they do not, it's a nightmare I won't go into). Each one has had the experience of being closed shut for more than a day yet still on -- on the verge of overheating. Yipes! If you find out anything about what kind of conflict really could be causing this hang (sometimes they do the same when they start up cold or from sleep, but it isn't often too long... we run OS 8.1) I would also like to hear.

Re: Printer issues with 8.1
Okay, I've tried both of these suggestions, and restarted the machine after all tries, and nothing's worked. I also tried putting the items in both the previous and then the current system folders extension files (haven't consolidated yet) and restarting, to no avail (my computer is using some things from the previous folder and some from the current - messy!).

speaker question 1400
Hi all, My question doesn't carry any urgency; I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this minor (yet annoying) problem. Have any of you ever replaced the speaker on a 1400 yourself? My sound board is fine (when plugged into ext. speakers) but my little mono speaker sounds warped, scratchy and horrid by itself. I bought a new speaker (very cheap) quite a while back, opened up the 'book as I learned to when I did my G3 upgrade (feeling ever so geeky), and was quickly stymied by the inacessibility of the speaker area. I'm afraid to go further into the machine for ruining it. A friendly local tech told me he'd basically have to tear the thing apart to get the new speaker in, and, it would cost upwards of $60 for labor. The speaker cost like $7. Should I just go ahead and live with the crummy one, try it again, or pay the guy and live w/o my 'book for a couple of days (aaah!)? TIA.

Re: Outbound
Fascinating. Yes, it makes me wish I had one of these hanging about in the basement. If anyone comes across an available one, do please post the news. Sometimes these sorts of machines are left in trash heaps at big places like universities, but I didn't know of any the last time our U purged one of its departments. It used to be an all-Mac campus; now, sadly, that's changing. Aly (University of Kansas) Jeff Walther wrote: Back in the early nineties (late 80's?)
