ok so this is my current status with my 3 powerbook 100's
I replaced only the 1uf and 10uf caps on Two
On the third one I noticed the (4) 47uf ones were leaking so i changed only those as well as the 1uf and 10uf caps.
All 3 had hard drives, one had 80mb IBM, The other one, Quantum GoDrive 80mb, Connor 20meg for the last one.
I was able to take apart and fix the Quantum hard drive, it was suffering from the Stiction issue, Used some Acetone and some paper towel to carefully clean up that liquified rubber goo, and lubricated the R/W arm bearing.
Made sure to blow off any specs of dust before i closed it up… and wow it works. MacOS 7.1 was installed.
I have one PB100 that is complete all together, /w Working HD. /w Re-capped screen, has Dime sided blotch on the LCD.
The other 2 PB100's
1 - Boots with quiet mac tone, gives no video.
1 - Doesn't turn on, just acts completely dead. Fuse is good.
( Even though it looks like none of the other caps are leaking, I should change them anyways at-least for these 2 troubled powerbooks.
All 3 LCD screens work, All 3 LCD Screens have roundish dime sized blotch in the upper middle of the screen, might be a common issue for these?
