5xx Battery

New guy again. Well, I have two batteries in my PB 520. One won't charge at all and the other looks like it fully charges, but lasts no more than 5 minutes. I've tried Emmpathy 2.1, Apple's Intelligent Battery Reconditioner and Lind Utility on both, and Battery Amnesia to drain the "good" one.

Re: 3400 users!

I thought the issue wasn't whether the 3400 was Cardbus compliant or not. (Inherently, I belive that it is) I thought the issue was that the card cage used in the 3400 won't accept the cardbus cards as they are shaped slightly different... If you swapped your cage for a cardbus acceptable cage, i

1400c RAM expansion

Hi PBListers, I'm about to open my PB1400c/117/32 for the first time (yippee!). Never done it before, but readiing the manual seems to indicate that it's not difficult (if I can tear apart and rebuild a Rochester carb, surely I can handle a 1400? :-{) Anyway, my reason for opening it is

Hi, thanks for this - unless I'm looking in the wrong place, all this tells me is that I have 32 Megs of RAM, but not how it is configured so I still need to know what upgrade card to buy... I'm open to being corrected though! Rick >Try going under the apple menu,click on apple system profiler,

Re: 3400 users!

I managed to stuff a FW card into my non-cardbus caged 3400, but it does me little good as the darn PB will run only OS 8.1. A cardbus card has a narrower slot on one edge than a PCMCIA card. Holding a card with the top up and the interface* toward you, look at the right corner closest to you.
