Taking apart Wallstreet 14" display

My service manual stops at removing the display from the book, but doesn't say anything about disassembling it. Help! I took out 4 screws at the top and side, but that doesn't seem to be sufficient. Paul Nelson -- PowerBooks is sponsored by and... Small Dog

Thanks for all the feedback to my query. My 3400 is a relatively new acquisition, but I now feel ready to make a purchasing decision based on all of your responses. Long live the LEM lists! Charles -- PowerBooks is sponsored by and... Small Dog Electronicshttp:/

Re: 5300 MP3 Player

Maybe, MAYBE if you max the ram on that unit, and use a simple program like SoundApp, you'll have glitch free playback. Maybe. Same with a 1400c 166 unless bumped with a G3 chip. Then they rock. Otherwise, get a 3400c...they're cheap now, and except for video editing and complex multi-track sou

Unfortunately, I only have 24mb of memory, which can't help, and it also means I need VM turned on to run anything (again, not a good idea). VM and MP3 playback probably don't play well together on the 5300. If you can, drop down to 8.1. 7.6.1 would probably be best for this application. Then

Re: PB backlights

How can you tell the difference between a faulty light and a bad inverter? This might not be terribly helpful to you, but when the backlight on my Duo 230 went out, it was pretty obviously a failed inverter. I could smell smoke, heard a sizzle, and eventually saw a small filament of smoke rise o

OK, I'm having a party at my place tonight, and have about 10gb of MP3s stored on my iMac upstairs (the iMac acts as an FTP / Web / File server). I don't really want to leave by iBook knocking around drunk people with glasses / cans of beer, so was hoping to use the old PB5300 as a 'jukebox'.
