Re: Powerbook 3400 Problem
Hello, Have you tried re-seating the ram card? I have found them a bit fickle. David On Jan 28, 2006, at 10:09 PM, Justin Teague wrote: I've got a problem. My little 3400 was chugging along really nicely until earlier today, while booting up (still on the os 9.1 screen: loading extensions) I accidentally hit the battery release and, because I wasn't plugged into the wall, the computer promptly shut off. I slid the battery back in, and then tried to power up again and nothing happened. SO, I plugged it into the AC adapter, and boom, it powered up instantly - without pressing anything. All is well, except now, when it boots up it says that there was a memory test error, then followed by a warning that there isn't enough memory to install my extensions and is booting up without them. Worse of all, when I now go to About the Computer I have suddenly dropped from what used to be 144mb of physical RAM to the original 16mb! Have I somehow fried the memory in this thing? Is there any hope? Thanks for your help, -One Distressed, suddenly VERY low end Powerbook User -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Good luck, and questions on NuPowr upgrade
Hello, When I installed a NuPowr upgrade, there was one file. You run the install program with the old CPU installed, shut down, install the new CPU and reboot. Very simple. Installing the CPU is as simple as installing RAM. The installer I used was the NUpowr 3 v1.0.0 installer. Unstuffed, it is 336 KB. The Sit file was 224 KB. Do you have this one?

For those of you not in the Dallas, TX area and unfamiliar with 1st and 3rd Saturday, there is a computer and electronics flea market every first and third Saturday of the month, in downtown Dallas. Third Saturday is usually far and away the smaller of the two. I had some things I needed to look for, so I headed down there this morning. One of the unexpected treasures I got was a PowerBook 1400C. Sold as is, this was about the fifth 1400C I've gotten there. Average price is about $10 - $20 or so for them. Every one I've bought has been 'as-is', and every single one has worked. I got this one for $10 when I saw it had a CD-ROM drive. I have one PB1400 that I consider my 'main' machine, and one backup. I only have one CD-ROM between the two of them, so the machine looked like a good gamble, if just to salvage the CD-ROM. And was it ever! When I plugged in the machine I got today, it turns on, but won't boot because the hard drive apparently has no OS. It brings up the disk/? icon. My backup 1400 only has a 24 MB upgrade for a 40 MB total. When I opened the new machine, I was delighted to see it has 2 24 MB stacks, so I can cannibalize this to upgrade my backup 1400. But there was BETTER news. The processor is not stock. It's a NuPowr G3! So, lessee, discounting the working machine itself, I got 48 MB in RAM upgrades, a NuPowr G3, and a CD-ROM drive, for $10! I'm going to consider this a good day! Now that I'm done with the insufferable gloating, here comes the plea for help. I've gone to Other World Computing and downloaded the NuPowr files, but I have no clue of the process/procedure for doing the upgrade (other than I do know how to physically swap out the CPU's). I have the 3 downloaded files on the hard drive of the 'main' 1400, which will now get the NuPowr. Do I have to copy these files to a floppy? They're SIT's, do I need to unstuff 'em first? At what point do I replace the CPU? Do I install the SIT files first, or the CPU, or does it really matter? If anyone can provide a step-by-step, I'd be most appreciative. I've heard the process is pretty simple, but that doesn't mean I can intuit it out of nowhere, and I want to be sure not to break/ ruin anything. Thanks for any help! Richard (Winfidel) BTW, How well will OS 9 run on the 1400 with 64 MB RAM and the G3 processor? I'm now on 8.5, but might consider upgrading. What are the main real advantages of OS 9? Thanks!

Re: Best bw laser printer for 3400c running OS 8.6
Hello, Get a PLW 320. It will connect to the printer port on your 3400C, and can also be used by computers with an ethernet port by using an apple talk/ethernet adapter. I have picked a couple of low page count units from ebay for less than $10. Just be sure to have the sender remover the toner cartridge and wrap it separately, so toner does not leak through the unit in transit. David On Sep 9, 2005, at 10:42 AM, Eric D. Bautista wrote: Dear powerbooks list, To all powerbook 3400c owners/knowledgeable persons... What is your opinion regarding the coolest, affordable, and so-called best black white laser printer to be connected to a 3400c running OS 8.6 ?? My needs are basically text documents and black white graphics (no need for the best resolution or dpi). Please consider in your opinion(s) cost of printer today, availability, and needed (could be rare) drivers. I looked in my Chooser and the icon for the Apple Laserwriter 300 caught my eye. It looks cool but is it really and realistically cool when connected to my 3400c? Yes, I would like to get a bw laserprinter for my 3400c and perhaps I feel guilty about going to eBay for it. -- Best regards, Eric mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
