The Lombard and Pismo G3s, which are relatively recent machines, and are PCI-based, compared to your relatively old, and NuBus-based 2400 You must be thinking either of the 1400 or 2300. The 2400 is definitely PCI based - it's a cousin of the 3400. It can even be modified to be CardBus

PowerBook 540c Loose Hinge

2005-11-01 Thread Shaun Reynolds
Greetings, I just got a PB 540c from eBay (arrived in the mail yesterday), and I noticed that the hinges are really loose from the back plastic display panel. Wondering it there is an easy fix for this? If at all possible, I don't want to take the LCD panel out of the case. The last time I did
