Re: Lombard Questions
Dave, This machine lacks the PRAM battery capacity to do a sleeping battery swap on anything more than 384 mb, my processor had a bad L2 Cache gave similar symptoms, no restart, L2 Cache parts are available from Daystar. Roger David Rodriguez wrote: Morning all, Been a long while since I've posted here. I just picked up a Lombard the other day, of course it has problems but it's got enough good things going to make it worth resurrecting. Good screen, dvd/rom w/ decoder, fair battery, a 256 mb chip. It's got a new 20 gig drive installed w/ 9.2.2. The bad side, the motherboard was dead and no power supply. I've borrowed a friend's failing L2 Cache G3 400 mobo for the weekend and power supply, which is allowing me to play around with getting it set up. But I'll eventually need to find replacements for both. It has a 256 and 64 mb Ram but hope to find another 256 of the right type that will give me 512. Problem: Will not restart. I can shut down and then start up, but cannot simply Restart. Trying to do so requires use of the reset button. Would this be indicative of a low pram batter, a bad L2 Cache, or something else? With the inability to restart, I am having a little trouble installing Jaguar too. I plan on moving up to Panther and eventually using the firewire enclosure method to install Tiger, but first things first. I guess I'm also curious if anybody has been using a failing L2 cache mobo long term? If so, how's that working out? Other Question: Any guidance is appreciated in the search for the appropriate type of low profile 256 Mb Ram Stick that will allow full 512 ram.

Re: Re Rebuilding battery on 1xx PBs
Bob and Nils, The battery cases are glued or heat fused together, I was able to break the bond without destroying the case in one instance with a small metal spatula after finding an area that was not fused and working slowly to break areas that were fused, and in another case I accidentally dropped the battery after removing the sliding door in prep for case separation and the case parted cleanly. The Batteries are available new from BTI, and I have a Lind external battery with adapter that will run my machine for 4-5 hr.. This site has more info one the machine: http://skyscraper.fortunecity.com/seagate/536/pb180.html I have a really good replacement battery from Gadget Power, but they are no longer in business.

Re: pram battery
I also have 2 3400's with this symptom, and have replaced the power supply board, keyboard, PRAM battery, as directed by the trouble shooting matrix in the service manual, all to no avial. Both Books have started to exhibit other symptoms of acute sleeping sickness or GLOD. The failure is on the Main Logic Board, I can't help but think it's some simple component as replacing the power manager chip on the logic board did not produce a positive result, and lacking line drawings further troubleshooting is problematic, labor charges further inhibit repair as a diagnostic starts at $75.00. Roger The Real Seed Catalogue wrote: Good answer but it begs the question: Where the heck do you find a Pram battery? I've got a 3400c and finding replacement batteries (in Toronto) is impossible. Additionally, any suppliers from Ebay or elsewhere, have old stock with no guarantee offered on Prams that are (at least) several years old. Does anyone know if these batteries can be home-made from RS parts, then heat-shrunk and used? Seems like the only alternative. Have you tried Malcolm : [EMAIL PROTECTED] He had these **new** at a very reasonable price last year. Can recommend him without hesitation. SHips internationally too. Alternatively you can get/make them, they are a varta battery. beware there are 2 order codes, one has 6 cells in a stack the other has 3 stacks of 2 (if I remember correctly) You want the latter, though you could of course cutshut the former into the same shape. Worth knowing that replacing the pram batt on both of our 3400s did not fix the problem of it losing everything if battery and power ever removed at the same time.

Re: Re.: Trackpad vs. Mouse
Count me on as a mouse man, I've always been frustrated by the keyboard and trackball/pad on powerbooks, with my 180 I had a beautiful compact keyboard trackball combo that was very slick, with my 3400 I use a Mac compact keyboard and a standard mouse.

Re: 3400c GLOD
Andrew, I have 4 with this symptom, so if you discover the cause, let me know, the cause is on the logic board, and like Tom, I have replaced the PMU chip. Roger Andrew Kershaw wrote: Here's a new one. I've got two 3400c motherboards (200MHz and 180MHz). I've gotten my 180 to boot alright (but for some reason I can't get ethernet working - but that's a separate issue I'll deal with later). The 200, on the other hand, just has GLOD. Using EXACTLY the same components (the only difference is the mobo - same display, same PMU, same PRAM battery, etc), the 180 boots fine but the 200 just has GLOD. Any ideas? It seems most likely to me that something is wrong with the mobo... This is fun to trouble shoot. [/sarcasm] I'm getting more familiar with the 3400c guts than I ever wanted to be.

Re: 3400c troubles
Andrew, By all means replace the PRAM battery, a trouble shooting guide I've used on 3400's calls out : replace the PRAM battery, then the Power Supply Module, and last the Logic board, after the usual series of resets and as a another member mentioned leave it plugged in for a day or so and try the series of resets after you replace the PRAM battery. A common problem with these machines is a failure in the power control logic or path that I call Acute Sleeping Sickness, because the first symptom is a failure to wake up after sleep without a reboot. Good luck, these are great machines and considering their low cost are well worth the effort to get them running. Roger Andrew Andrew Kershaw wrote: Hi all! A few months ago, I picked up enough parts to build a 3400c/180 or 3400c/200 (two mobos, two PMU boards, only one display).

Re: 3400c troubles
Andrew, The battery total voltage is 7.5 -8.2 at full charge, is made up of 6 button cells whose designation I can't read as the pack I have here at work was very badly corroded, the pack is designed to hang under the sound board and knowing 3400's perchant for power problems I would be reluctant to jury rig anything. Roger Andrew Kershaw wrote: Thanks for the suggestions. What I'm hearing is that a PRAM battery with a low charge could cause problems on the 3400c (certainly not surprising, especially given the 5300 experience). I am somewhat surprised that it could prevent booting entirely - I've actually never seen a Mac where this is true (even my 5300s will boot with a dead PRAM battery if you know the right tricks - I can even manage this on a 6100), but I'm willing to take your word for it! ;-) Anyway, I'll leave the 3400c plugged in while I'm at work today and see what happens this evening. Assuming that the battery is dead (I can't test it w/ my voltmeter because it's still boxed up somewhere - stupid boxes from the move!), does anyone know what kind of cells it takes? Mine doesn't have the VL2330 type cells common to earlier later PowerBooks - it's got a pack of 6 smaller but thicker cells. The packaging says it's a NiMH battery, too, which is surprising to me - all the others are Lithium-based. Hmm, assuming I get the voltage right, do you think I could just swap in a set of 2330s?

Re: Flaky 190/5300 AC adapter
Craig, In general the issue with the 5300 was the mother board jack that was always coming loose, this may have caused failures of the adapters, but the positioning problem is generally the logic board jack, I have repaired these by scraping some of the insulation off the pads, rebending the tabs to improve the mechanical connection, resoldering, and then epoxying the jack to the board itself, this has to be done prudently to avoid interfering with board mounting. Roger [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So, what is the deal w/ these things anyway? Are they prone to failure, or is it just the ones I have? I seems like 1/2 of the 190/5300 AC adapters I have EVER SEEN either do not work at all, work if the cord is put into a particular position(!), or work for a few minutes then stop. Other than the few Apple made that can overheat, is this simply the worst AC Adapter Apple made? Other than that Sienfeldian rant, I am also wondering, since the rock-steady AC adapters used from the Powerbook 1400/2400/3400/G3 is a 45W unit w/ a different plug, have any of the more technical-minded out there ever tried to graft a AC plug from a 3400 onto a 5300 mobo?

Re: PB 3400 PMU question

I have 3 machines with a similar problem and used the same troubleshooting mechanism you did, without resolution. The first machine I fixed, I did so by replacing the Power supply Board, the other 3 were no joy (the procedure we're using is also the same as recommended in the Apple service manual).

Re: PowerBook 3400 Problems
Bryan Walter wrote: Hi List, I've recently acquired a PowerBook 3400c (200MHz model) which has quite a number of interesting problems. I'm anxious to get new parts in it and restore its health, but I'm not quite sure what's wrong. First, the booting is sporadic. Sometimes it doesn't want to boot at all, other times it will boot spontaneously when the AC adapter is plugged in. Seems to me that it is some type of power problem, as the OS can't get any solid reading on the battery or the battery time remaining although the battery does work. While it is plugged in to the AC power, there is also a high-pitched whining buzz that comes from the PowerBook. It sounds like it is coming from right below the trackpad, where the PMU board is located. Also, there seem to be issues with the motherboard. It started out that the PowerBook just won't make any sound whatsoever. No boot chime, nothing. It doesn't make sound through external speakers either or take a signal from a microphone that is plugged in (although the internal mic seems to pick up sound fine). I started testing it one day, and I discovered that the ADB, VGA, and serial also don't work, and I presume the SCSI probably doesn't either although I don't have an adapter to test it. Another interesting thing is that the modem most definitely dials out and works, but the ethernet on the same card doesn't work at all. All this has led me to believe that there is a problem with the PMU board, and possibly with the motherboard as well. Trouble is, I don't know where to find either part without paying through the nose so I want to be sure what the problem is so I don't buy parts I don't need. Anyone have any ideas or seen anything similar with another 'Book? Thanks, Bryan Brian, Reset the power manager(push the reset buton on the rear of the machine),Zap the PRAM, Check the PRAM battery, Replace the power supply board, if none of these work, your 3400 is developing sleeping sickness, the problem is the PMU chip ( a 68HC05) on the main logic board, along with it's PMU functions: The power management unit (PMU) is a 68HC05 microprocessor that operates with its own RAM and ROM. The PMU IC performs the following functions: controls sleep and power on and off sequences controls power to the other ICs controls clock signals to the other ICs supports the ADB scans the keyboard controls display brightness monitors battery charge level controls battery charging So when this chip starts to malfunction, it is time to replace the logic board as I have been unable to find a source for the Apple programed part andd have 3 units with the same problem.

Roger KG wrote: PowerBook 3400 can be made Cardbus compliant by MCE, the mod costs $100.00. You can also use an ADS Technologies USB card, which apparently will fit in the stock PCMCIA case, or just trim the edges of a regular CardBus card and install it that way. An inelegant solution, but it works... Anyway, if you want to do it through MCE, the 2400 and Kanga can also be made fully CardBus compliant by them. I think all they do is replace the stock card cage with one spec'd for CardBus.

After a moment, the screen goes black, and then random horizontal lines flicker on the screen. Now, as I try to power it on, it refuses to power on with, or without the plug in the power outlet, or in the computer itself.

Howard, Standard zip lock bags can hold enough static to damage certain devices especially during cold dry periodes in the winter. Roger Howard R.

Re: 160 display/monitor??
Grace, When you open the machine, have the hinge side facing you, gently open the case after removing the screws in the bottom and the little one by the modem port and use a finger to gently separate the plug that connects the upper half to the lower half after this point the rest of the investigation is straight forward, the video cables are ribbon cables and have a sliding latch on each socket, I use a jewelers screwdriver to carefully pry up each side of the clip. While your inside check the pram battery. Good Luck :-) Roger Grace Tallman Gooding wrote: THANKS so much Roger!!!

Re: 540 screen fading to black in the corners
Tricia, This a common problem with older LCD screens and will worsen with age, tiny amounts of moisture have pentrated the bond at the screen edge, and there is no way to reverse the process. Replacement is the only solution and I don't know about the compatability of the 540c screen. Roger Tricia Adams wrote: Hello, I have a 540 with a screen that starts to fade to black in the corners. When I first start it up, the screen is fine. Then the corners start to turn black, a little at first, then slowly creeping into the center. I haven't left it on long enough to see if it completely blacks out, but it does eventually reduce the visible screen to a circle. My questions: Does this mean the screen is dying? Is the only way to 'cure' it to replace it? If I do have to replace it, is it possible to replace it with a 540c screen? My thanks for your help.

Re: 160 display/monitor??
Grace, There are video cable connections in the area of the adjustment sliders internal to the machine, the problem could also lie with the main interconnect cable to the upper and lower halves of the machine. For directions on disassembly go to http://www.academ.com/info/macintosh and go to the Powerbook section. Other good info can be had from http://www.lowendmac.com/, MacFixit, and The Mac Freak site. For Power Manager problems with this series of machines http://www.westwind.com/reference/TN/PMreset.html has the info, in fact you might want to try this first. Good Luck :-) Roger Grace Tallman Gooding wrote: Hey, I asked this before, but didn't see a reply (I might have missed it with problems with email phone). I got a PB160 off ebay and the guy claimed it worked. After I finally got the power cord (that he forgot to send the first time), I plug it in and try to power up and I get noises but NOTHING on the monitor/display. The monitor lights up and I can adjust the brightness/contrast sliders, but I can't see anything going on. The guy I got it from doesn't seem to know anything about it, which is not helpful. Is there some easy fix for this? Anyway to find out if it is really working in there? Someone at husband's work suggested hooking it up to a monitor, but I'm not sure I have the right cables... Anyone have a suggestion about what to do next? I would really like to get it working, but this is my first laptop and I don't have all that much experience with hardware issues. My G3 and my Powermac 7100 were hoping this would be another FUNCTIONING member of the family (the SE was working until I stole the SCSI cable to hook up my scanner).

Re: PB 160 battery issue
Bill, Just finished dealing with a problem with exactly the same symptoms, the cause was the board mounted pico fuse mounted on the logic board, next to the battery contacts, replaced it and unit has worked fine every since. I also isolated this problem on 2 other machines I bought on the LEM list. Roger alienbill wrote: My 160 works for only a few minutes until it begins warning me that the battery is low, and soon after shuts down. I have the AC adapter plugged in all this time and thought I was using AC and not battery power. When I remove the battery I get no boot up at all from the machine. Are these things normal, or might there be a problem with my power adapter? (I know the battery is low but thought that wouldn't be an issue since I almost always use it plugged in). Might there be some switch for changine from battery to AC power or is this automatic? Thanks for any suggestions bill __ [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: 3400 and slow typing
kaldav, Zapping the PRAM and resetting the power manager certainly won't hurt and may fix the problem, but the problem may lie with the low power 68XXX micro-processor responsible for controlling the power and sleep modes as well as scanning the keyboard, in which case the unit gradually cease to function, but by all means do the resets. Roger kaldav wrote: Hello, Could someone help to diagnose a problem on the powerbook 3400 where one is typing into a program dialogue box or typing an email, (occurs with different applications) but the typing letters appear very slowly, long after the keys are pressed? Does this sound like a zap the PRAM and re-set the Power Manager situation, or something worse? I am not referring to the trackpad speed, but to the typing from the keyboard.
