Source for individual PB 1400 LCD components

2003-02-04 Thread Sean McGroty
The display on my 1400 isn't working properly. The screen displays either solid white or some other strange pattern. I think it's the small circuit board behind the screen. The screen works if I press on a specific location on the back. After I unscrewed the board and pivoted it away, I

There is also a cheap widely available 3COM card for which someone on the list has written a driver! Really? Which card, and where can I find the driver? Thanks, everyone, for your input. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... Small Dog Electronics

Fast Ethernet and PB 1400

2002-10-01 Thread Sean McGroty
I'm looking for some sort of Fast Ethernet card for my PB 1400. I've seen the Hawking PC card, the only one I've found with Mac drivers, but the readme states it doesn't work on a 1400. Are there any alternatives, such as a generic driver for another brand of fast ethernet card? --

Just a thought - Have you tried the shutdown folder? There's nothing in the Startup or Shutdown Items folders. The problem also occurs before any OS has loaded. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... Small Dog Electronicshttp://www.smalldog.com | Enter To

My PB 1400 won't turn off!

2002-08-20 Thread Sean McGroty
I've got a really strange problem with my PB 1400 - it won't power off at all. If I shut down from within the Finder, it restarts. I have Password Security turned on. If I click cancel, which normally shuts off the computer, it immediately restarts. If I let the Password Security dialog time

1400 loses PRAM settings

2002-07-17 Thread Sean McGroty
My 1400 has a strange problem. When I unplug it, it has a tendency to lose the PRAM settings, causing the system to not boot from the battery. If I plug the power adapter in again, the system boots up without pressing the power button. I must then use TechTool to reset the PRAM, or I will not

Re: 1400 Battery not recognized

2002-04-06 Thread Sean McGroty
I thought my PB battery is 12 volts. If yours is 10.8 v. it's probably below readable levels, and no where near fully charged. They're actually cells, you know. I believe all NiCd cells are 1.2 v each. If they drop much below 1.1 v each, (that's where you would normally recharge them), or 11

Re: New 540c

2001-07-15 Thread Sean McGroty
Nope! There is no unix (afaik) that supports the 540 due to the oddball 68lc040 chip in it. The only 68k unix that is available is one of the bsd clones, either netbsd or freebsd. That's not *entirely* accurate. You might, emphasis on might, have a specific version of the LC040 that is not
