Powerbook 100 full recap and ghosting Troubleshooting 32 posts May 31, 2015 — Oct 5, 2015
Ok it's finally done.. I did 3 of these little guys this weekend (they r my pb100's.. not for someone else.. lol)... All caps replaced including those little nasty buggers ( 8-) on the backside of the LCD screen... (thanks Uniserver for the info!!) Very easy to miss them since they are really electrolytic encased in a square black case.. They almost appear to be tantalum... So now all 3 PB100's have only 3 electrolytic caps.. the rest are tantalum.. These should last for quite a while (I hope)....

Boy these Connor drives in these things suck!!! I can't find one working... I can find portable Connor drives working more than pb100 Connor drives... I realize they are way past their life expectancy... but come on.. not a one.. So I have a Quantum (not much better) in this one..
