Thank you very much.

YES - you are right. I checked. The aforementioned problem is with my POWERBOOK 540c (my 150 is elsewhere).

The system on my 540c is OS8.6

40 MB built in memory

Apple System Profiler tells me it has a PowerPc 603e / 100MHz processor.

Unfortunately, I have bought 2 new batteries but still get the red X mark on the battery icon at the top of my desktop so charging or recognition of batteries not possible.

I have downloaded CLARIS Organiser and will test.

Thanks again.

Michael

Firstly, the 165C and 180C are the only Powerbooks of that generation with a color screen. I don't know if it is swappable with a black and white LCD, so I'll let that one pass as a possibility. It may also be possible someone used the plastic from a 150 to repair a color screen model.
I have to call you out on the PPC upgrade, though. There was never any PPC upgrade available for 150 Powerbook EVER. What you very well may have is a 190cs, which is more like a 5300 than a 1xx series, with PPC upgrade. That is the lowest model number with a color screen that can be upgraded that way.

Also, 1xx series batteries are VERY easy to find with a Google search. They are NOT impossible to replace. Here is the main battery for $23.99

And the CMOS battery for $14.95

If it's a 190 you have, those batteries are equally easy to find.
