I had a similar problem on some 190s a couple years ago and it was fixed by reseating the memory modules, which had become loose. >>Suddenly my old PB 190 refused to boot. I tried everything, even >>taking it apart, removing the backup battery and putting it back >>together after one week. >> >>Th

OT! Re: Limping Lombard

This belongs on the G-Books list. This isn't even one off... You'll get better responses from them anyway, considering they actually own and talk about Lombards over there. Not everyone on this list has a G3/G4 based PowerBook... Your book shouldn't need a system enabler, especially under 9.

Limping Lombard

I bought a Lombard from one of the LEM Swap listers, and although it works, it is painfully slow. It has 64 MG RAM, running 9.2.2.

Sticking foot on 3400c

Hi, one of the pop-down feet seems to have lost it's 'springiness' and you have to pull it down manually. Is there an easy fix for this or should I just let it be one of the 'features' of my 'Book ? Tim -- PowerBooks is sponsored by and... Small Dog Electronicshtt

PB 190 creaking lid & missing rear door

Greetings! Can anyone make suggestions how to remedy a creaking and stiffness in opening and closing my PB 190's lid? Gracious people here gave me the manual but I'd like sage advice first. Also, where can I get (cheap) replacements for the rear door that covers the ports?
