Galgot gave me a Powerbook 5300 as a trade.
As i said to him, already have one, but the 5300 has always been special to me...
Anyway, the Pbook was really fine outside, and gone through a new casing (AA sticker) no problem in the PSU connector area and no hinges trouble (so far)
The screen has one issue (lines in the bottom area, and a tendency to go dark after a few minutes) no big deal as i have a spare one, my first 5300 became a mess last year (battery fluid all over the casing, plastic broken, hinges gone)
Time for a few swaps :
I get my HD back, some memory and removed the Sanyo screen and bolted the Sharp one (i removed both screens as the casing was broken in the hinges area, using the good casing with he good screen)
First i made a test to be sure both were plug and play:
Then put back everything together :
You cannot win all the time, but is so good when it works :beige:
