Caleb, my roommate repairs office machinery for a living, 20+ years--even he gave up on trying to resolder the power connector back on my 5300 - which is why I'm now either using my 520c or a G4 Powerbook. I too liked the 5300, but I was putting more money into the machine to keep it fixed

I was able to get it soldered back pretty easily, and gained a spare logic board in the process. However, I'd still like to replace my 190 power connector with one from a Lombard or Wallstreet, so I can use the YoYo and have a more secure connector. What works works, though. Caleb On

I've got a problem. My little 3400 was chugging along really nicely until earlier today, while booting up (still on the os 9.1 screen: loading extensions) I accidentally hit the battery release and, because I wasn't plugged into the wall, the computer promptly shut off. I slid the battery
