Highly likely I'd say... everything else Apple made in that era had cheap rubbish caps etc so I see no reason the Airport card would be an exception. lol

Not necessarily, I have seen the same panels used in older Pentium era laptops. I think I have one or two lying around somewhere.

CE? I know since it is IDE, you can replace the IDE Drive in it and put in a CF with a CF-to-IDE Converter in it and watch it boot a lot faster and run for hours on battery! I hav…

They're so pretty though, I personally think the 2003 DP models are the most attractive computer interior ever made. I wish I still had my 1.8.

Could be a simple matter of protocol incompatibility, as there are a LOT of non-Apple routers on the market that Airport cards simply will not negotiate a connection with. Basicall…

Welp, can't sleep tonight as you can probably tell, and do not have to work until the evening, so I decided to stop procrastinating and remove the 2.0DP from my office as it was ta…

Hi! My friend has a iMac G3 with the id Powermac4,1 with a Airport Card. When he is trying to connect to his wireless network he gets the error message: There was a error joining …

Man, this thing is a godsend... for the past 15 years Ive been using a small multi-bit driver with a handle just narrow enough to slide down the sides of a compact handle... except…

I finally bought an 18" Torx screwdriver to work on compacts. Bit long but it definitely works.

So. In my new quests with vintage apple collecting, I seem to have acquired the most homely PB duo one has ever seen. The battery blew up long ago. The front filter on the LCD pane…

Update on the second Classic... took it apart yesterday after my last post, and glaringly obvious are what look to be the two filter caps busted open, which would have explained at…

Don't give up with old batteries. The Portable uses a lead acid battery, which can be exercised, possibly to rejuvenation. Boaters know people who have battery exercisers which can…

The 190/5300 are notorious for having the power connector lose connection with the motherboard. Give that a check as well next time you open it up.  Click to expand... I agree wi…

Duo + 3400 IMO for reasons already discussed.  The two Nubus slots in the Dock would even let you use the Duo as a substitute desktop machine if space gets even tighter.

So, having also bought a new set of 7" long torx bits and a long T-handle after my normal rather too short bit and driver walked away, I decided to take apart my rather nice Classi…

So  I went to the tip finally to dump my old stripped and unwanted iMac and eMac carcasses and at the bottom of one of the e-waste bins, I happened to find none other than an Apple…

A drill press (or mill) and a 1/32 end mill below the parting line. Replace the battery, then I use beige caulk so if I ever need to get into it again then it's just a razor blade.…

I dont run a pram battery in my 475, I just use the double flip of the power switch method which bypasses that issue.

As james_w in the uk i'll add that I used this battery for mine : http://www.componentshop.co.uk/6v-4-5ah-sealed-lead-acid-battery.html(they also carry a 5ah battery of the same si…

oh and what Doug said too... those TDK LC power supplies are known for not working,  they need all the filter caps changed. but in my experience if the psu is no good, the computer…

yeah cap that 650 too.  it needs is. for sure.  the only machines that ( need ) a pram battery is the quadra/LC 475/605 and the Powermac 6100. you will get no video.       Well the…
