That's a good philosophy, Mack. It turns out it was my AC power brick that went toast. Possibly for no reason, other than because it wanted to. So I bought a 45W "yo-yo" adapter from eBay and the PowerBook 3400c lives again. The only thing that changed is that now I am having difficulties getting it to boot from the CompactFlash disk. Earlier during my disassembly I had removed the NiMH battery, once I learned that it was prone to leakage. Alas, I suspect it may be necessary for the computer to remember the startup disk. Without it, it seems to default to the internal HD always. Are there any modern alternatives to the NiMH battery pack that I may substitute?-- Marcio
