I just got a Powerbook 150 that was DOA and managed to get it working just by fiddling with the cable connectors inside. It needs an LCD screen and a battery, but everything else seems to work. I probably would have sold it on as a parts only machine and never knew it was so easy to fix if I hadn't opened it up and tried. I'm now waiting for another DOA Powerbook with the parts I need to come along to have a working machine with a few spare parts and they are common and cheap on ebay.Except that you do have a lot to lose and not a lot to gain, at least if you're like me ie not a hardware wizard - if I opened my Duo 230 I would just make things worse by breaking more of it, not being able to get it back together etc!"The thing is broken, so why not OPEN it? Grab a screwdriver, you've got nothing to lose". [}] ]'>
