well that's pretty sad the 150 shows up. And it's too old to file a claim. Anyways, nice score. If you can, can you transplant the board from the 150 into the 160? I think the 150 was missing some stuff on it that made it a "Consumer" Laptop, but this was only from memory with messing with a laptop. from the early 1x0 series
If you can, try transplanting or downright reseating EVERYTHING in the laptop. Take it apart, clean it out. if it's got a Ram card, take it out. One of the problems I had with the one I worked on, was that whenever the RAM card was in, it shorted something out because I could hear a high pitched blip when I pressed the button, then it wouldn't do anything.

Good luck with it!
I used to have a PB 160....before I traded it in, for a then 'new' PB 165c

(bit of a dog, screen wise-passive matrix )

the ONE good thing about the PB 150, was the amount of ram..

up to 40 mb , using a duo motherboard...and other 100 series Powerbooks had a ram ceiling of 14mb....
