Guys, I am going for a quite long business trip. First to South Africa and then to California for the Macworld. I have to unsubscribe. I wish a Merry Christmas and a serene New Year to all of you and your families and friends. Ben -- PowerBooks is sponsored by and..

Re: powerbook 1400 RAM prices

Keep an eye on eBay and ask on the LEM Swap list. I picked up a pair of 24 Meg modules for one of my 1400s for about $40 and a single 48 Meg for my other 1400 (I needed the single module for my Newertech Video card) for about $50. Sometimes the prices are high, other times you can get a good deal.

Re: 1400 battery and infrared

That's interesting -- the battery part. Did you buy a new one or a reconditioned old one? I'm interested simply because my original one won't work for longer than 16 minutes or so -- even with the "reconditioning" program (run a number of times, under 7.6.1 and 8.1). I have hesitated buying a new (

1400 battery and infrared

Hello list, I have a 1400c/OS 8.6 with 1 main problem and 1 wish: 1) The battery will not go for more than 20 min. even with everything cut back to bare minimums. I bought it to replace the previous one which won't even hold enough to complete a boot. I tried recycling the battery, zapping the

Battery Shelf life

Folks I've read some really useful posts on battery life etc. here and was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of what the unused shelf life of the different battery types is likely to be. Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- PowerBooks is sponso

Formatting Norton-protected hard disk

Hi all, I have got a 500 MB IDE hard disk drive, which came in a PB I bought at ebay for replacement parts for my PB 5300c (it stopped to freeze randomly, at last). This hard disk is very thoroughly password protected by Norton disklock. I have not been able to access or even format the drive,

powerbook 1400 RAM prices

I've been tempted occasionally by the video-out cards for the 1400; but I have 2x24 RAM modules installed so I can't use the 16 bit Newer video output card, only the Apple 8-bit. 8-bit doesn't excite me that much... I've been looking at ebay for the 48 meg modules for a while but they go for a

190cs trackpad/button

I've had a 190cs for about six months now. The person I bought it from stated that he had fixed a power connector problem, which I gather is a common problem with this model. I've had a continuing problem with the trackpad/button, and in searching the archives haven't come across a solution, so a
