Re: powerbook power supply

I guess this is a 'yo-yo' power supply - the round one. The power cords on these are quite fragile and the wire inside the plastic outer sheath can break. Initially you'll get intermittent contact, and eventually no contact at all. As far as I know the only solution is a new power supply. -- P

Re: Identifying a Powerbook

I can make sense of everything but the 14.1TFT. 14.1-inch Thick-Film Transistor display - ie an active-matrix LCD. Sounds like a Wallstreet, but I'm a PB1400 person so don't take my word for it. I'm sure someone will be along in a moment... -- PowerBooks is sponsored by an

Re: Trackpad vs. Mouse (was Re: 5300c question)

I'm quite happy using a mouse on a desktop Mac (though, unusually, I use it left-handed even though I'm right-handed). But I've never used a mouse on the laptops I've had, and I don't even have a compatible mouse for my PB1400. And I tap my trackpad, because it's easier and quieter than clickin

My understanding is that the PB1400 hardware cannot support USB. Is that a function of hardware (no USB port possible) or software (doesn't know what to do with a USB device)? -- PowerBooks is sponsored by and... Small Dog Electronicshttp://www.smalldog.com | Enter T

Re: HELP! PB1400s

For some reason it doesn't want to start up off the HDD. I'd start it off a system CD and see if the HDD shows up on the desktop - then at least you can tell whether something has gone awry with your re-install of the HDD, or whether somehow the System Folder on the HDD has been corrupted. --

Re: Best of two PB1400s

When I investigated further I found that there's a small permanent magnet under the speaker grille in the lower half of the case - this activates the reed switch when the screen is folded shut, putting the Powerbook to sleep. On Wednesday, October 13, 2004, at 11:02 pm, David Lesher wrote: Lik

Ha! PRAM reset was what I wasn't doing. If I do Command-Option-P-R after swapping screens I can now get the 1400c base (known to be good) working with the 1400cs screen (previously believed dead). I'm using it now - and just for the record, for my money the Active Matrix 1400c screen is much be

Yes, I've been swapping the complete screen including the two wiring looms and plugs - that seems to be the easiest way to swap them over. On Sunday, September 12, 2004, at 08:05 pm, Ben McGann wrote: Are you switching the display cable as well as the display? The active display and the passive

Re: Best of two PB1400s

I fitted the 1400c screen to the 1400cs, but on start-up the screen is dark as though the backlight isn't working. Refitting that same screen to the 1400c, it works perfectly. What am I doing wrong? -- PowerBooks is sponsored by and... Small Dog Electronicshttp://www

Re: Best of two PB1400s

I've pulled the dead screen from the 1400cs, with the intention of swapping it for the working 1400c screen. Just out of interest I opened up the case of that dead screen and I've found that there's a tiny reed switch under the LCD panel (behind the edge of the case, just about where the Apple

Best of two PB1400s

I have a working PB1400c/117 and a PB1400cs/166 with a dead screen. Would it be easier to swap the working screen onto the 166 machine, or install the 166 internals into the 1400c? Or is neither really worth the aggro? All views gratefully received! -- PowerBooks is sponsored by
