Re: PB5300 and Kanji items

Hi Joseph, I'm glad to know that your son is interested in languages and may want to try writing Japanese. Here is a sort of rough rundown on what you need. This applies to OS 7.6 and up, but NOT OS 9.x which I am informed has more integral language ability. When you do the installation of the O

Re: when/how to clean keyboard keys?

Before I bag the 540C (new PRAM battery, two 85% nimh batteries, 500Mb hard drive, car charger and 36Mb RAM) and try and find a different model portable, I'm thinking about pulling off all the keys one by one and cleaning the action(s) to see if that helps. Is that a common thing to need to do?

when/how to clean keyboard keys?

I bought a used Apple PowerBook 540C a few months ago and I immediately hated the keyboard. I bought a used keyboard via eBay and that helped quite a lot but I still dislike the action of the keys. (I'm used to a PowerBook 180 keyboard which seems a _whole_ lot more robust). Before I bag th

plugin crunched on powerbook 3400 AC adapter

Hi folks, Looks like someone stepped on the powerbook plug end of the AC adapter for my daughter's 3400c, enough that something is apparently broken in that end. I am wondering if it might be possible to repair it, since the least expensive new ones I see are $50+, and as far as I know the unit

Re: Anyone know what this is?

I did get to see one. It was sort of off-white plastic and had a green, monochrome screen. And, maybe a separate battery pack. It's been too long, I don't remember it too well. But, does anyone else think the Chameleon thing was part of it? > From: Andrew <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: <[EMAIL

battery woes

I have a fairly new battery in my 1400 that just doesn't hold a charge very long. I have an app called "My Battery" says it is fully charged and I should get 4 hours but I only get about 45min. if I'm lucky. I have used Battery Recondition as well. Is there anything else I can try. Basically

190cs REA and Ethernet

Hello listers, Thursday my 190cs came back from REA with a crisp new black cover and bezel and tight and nice powerplug. As it had been sitting in a closet for a long time before I got it because of broken hinges etc, also keyboard, clickpad and the whole feeling is very newish. Very nice, and th
