Re: Install ram in a 5300ce
I am trying to install a 56mb ram chip in a 5300ce and it won't boot. This chip came out of a 5300cs we have so I know it is working. The machine has a 32 meg of ram in it that works great. System profiler says there is 16 mb on the mobo, and the cs only has 8 mb on the board. I really would like to upgrade the ram. Can anyone help Thanks Jim -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

If so I would like to have two of them. Firstly . . . Jim, the part where you write If so I would like to have two... is the part to which I was referring when _I_ wrote Reply __OFFLIST__ please. Thank you for your future appropriate OFFLIST replies! Secondly, the 3400 PRAM battery is very different from the earlier PB PRAM batts and cannot be used in a 190 or 5300. The type you need is a pair of 3v rechargable lithium cells stacked into a little sandwich with a 4 or so pigtail with three wires (black, red and white) terminating in a small plug. The identical pack is sold for use in PBs 190/5300 and the Duo series and will fit directly into your 190/5300. The PB500/1400 series PRAM batt's cells and connector are identical to the Duo/5300 type but the cells are arranged side-by-side instead of stacked. These also will work in a Duo/5300 but must have the plastic shrinkwrap cover removed and the cells folded together. BTW, the Duo/190/5300 PRAM packs work fine in PBs 500/1400 too, split the plastic shrinkwrap and spread open the sandwich . . . (Hmm, not sure how to describe all that exactly, but I'll attempt it should anyone care to ask . . . : -) Interestingly (well, to me anyway), my Hooper DVT unit (PB3400 'Deployment Verification Test') has 1 each of the Duo and 500 series style PRAM batts, the Duo type located in the usual 5300 location and the 500 type in the front-center of the case bottom floor under the LB. If you've had a production 3400 that far apart you'll see the oval PB500-PRAM-batt shaped spot. This unit's power board has of course two connectors, one for each PRAM pack, where the production item has only one connector. I've wondered why Apple went with the 6 cell NiMH pack for production, my guess is the pair of earlier type PRAM batts weren't able to keep the 'Book alive during a sleeping main-battery swap. Dan K Hi For your information, since you seem concerned about this sort of thing, I read your entire note, I saw your little note about Off List. I replied the proper way by hitting the reply button, I had no way of knowing you had something weird in your address that keeps the reply from working. Now I have to ask which is worse my making a mistake or your posting this note to the web on purpose. Before you decide to jump on someone you find how it happened. Also as I look at the message I see your address is Powerbooks, I wonder if this could be causing the mistake? Of course you wouldn't know about things like addresses.

Re: Help with 5300 upgrade

It's a PB 5300c, which I opened up and upgraded with a new 6 GB hard drive and a LapisColor video card, and at the same time swapped out the RAM expansion card to increase the memory from 24 MB to 40 MB. The drive isn't formatted at the moment. Well, I put everything back together and got the chime and the Happy Mac, and tried to boot the computer from an Apple 300 external CD-ROM drive with a Mac OS8 CD in it. It starts to boot and then gives the bomb icon and a bus error, and it does it repeatedly no matter what I try--booting without the extensions, changing the SCSI ID of the CD-ROM, everything. Any suggestions? Hi I had a problem something like this with a PB5300. For some reason the 5300 would not recognize the 6 gig drive at all. I had to put the drive in another laptop we have and format it there. I have never had any problem since with it. Also check the ram card that you just installed. They have a tendency to work loose. We have to open this one up once in awhile and push down on the ram chip. It looks tight, but it will work itself loose. I hope this helps.
