Hi, I searched all over the place (net and real life) and found the best price was through an e-bay auction. I contacted the seller and everything worked out perfect (I got the battery, instructions and the torx for less than $20). Very friendly and helpful. You could contact him at: Paul

Does anyone know if Jaguar eliminates the Sleep of Death phenom for the Lombard et al. Might make it worthwhile to upgrade just for that! -- Mike Amato mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... Small Dog Electronicshttp://www.smalldog.com |

Re: 5300 stuff

Here's a question... If I upgraded my 5300cs to 1MB of VRAM (instead of the 512KB), would it give 16-bit color on a cs display? Would the passive display work in that many colors? Do the 1400cs displays work in thousands of colors or are they 8bit (256 colors) only? Peace, Drew --

1400 charger - hidden menace?

2002-09-17 Thread Dennis Helsel
I was surfing sites related to the 1400 battery last night, and came across a statement on one that even if it still works, an AC charger goes bad over time and ruins batteries. They recommended buying a new charger along with a new battery. Is this just to get someone to buy more stuff?

Mad Dog Victoria, Yeah, that's what I thought. But I have this nagging in the back of my mind - I think I read somewhere (couldn't find it just now though) that the passive matrix display on the 5300 can only do some 4000 colors... I don't think it's a problem w/ the video controller...

Re: 540 Display darkens

2002-09-17 Thread Tom Lisa P
I'm fairly certain it's not the backlight, as the screen will darken in a short time even if the backlight is never turned on. That's not to say it has nothing to do with the backlight circuits, but it seems more likely to be something in the screen itself or its controller than the backlight. On
