I'm no expert but it sounds like something on the logic board is screwy. If it was just the fan, I'd say it was a sensor but its the charging too that does it. Switch it all and …

Hi guys. I have my pride and joy, 300mhz 14" wallstreet PDQ, and I figure it's time to resurrect it to see if I can. IIRC, it has a problem with the fan staying on, from the time I…

Eef, if there was a hole blown in the lobo, sounds like the poor little thing has been put out to pasture. I'd nose around for another lobo for it to see if you can breathe some li…

I hate to say it, but it sounds like that one's past doing too much with, apart from stripping for parts...I'd look around for another 1400, working, and keep that one for parts. A…

Hi! i have one of those powerbooks 500 with a nupower PPC 630e at 117mhz, and like you said... that's a really solid notebook, the innards are made of steel! 8-o , very impressiv…

hi!, this is my first post and i really need your help, some days ago i bought from internet a pb1400 almost mind but it say "doesn't turn on" on the place, anyway.. just for $30 b…

Nvm, talked to derekat(Idk if any of you remember him but he used to post here before the crash) and he said try it without the hard drive, tried that, it worked, tried different j…

It turned on before but the hard drive was dead, swapped the hard drive, tried turning it on but it doesn't do anything. I hear the CRT have a slightly high pitch noise, so it's g…

Here's a question for which I have not found the answer: The Apple II, as you should know, has some soft-switches, memory locations which cause some setting to change. My question …

I downloaded that PDF a few months ago but haven't read it yet. Maybe I should do that. Click to expand... It's a tough slog, especially if it's the first time through. But S…

A handful of 74LS* chips. Sather's "Understanding the Apple II" would probably help here:http://www.scribd.com/doc/201423/Understanding-the-Apple-II-by-Jim-Sather-1983Quality-Soft…

Most people have a nasty tendency to think that memory is something where you specify a memory location, the CPU applies that memory location to the address lines, then the CPU rea…

Addenum to Holy Grail with a bit more info, from http://theducks.livejournal.com/492985.html I hang out on a number of modding boards around the internet. The "Holy Grail" i…

Do you know what hardware this is? I only have a IIgs, so I suppose that is incorporated in the Mega II, but what about on the older models?

Soft switches have a hardware component: there is circuitry that reacts to particular address lines being tickled. That's why things like peek can affect them from BASIC.

Some people have basically recased a laptops guts in a box and made the LCD seperate using a home made cable. There are old ISA cards that talk directly but they are probably for o…

I needed new clutch hinges for my Pismo so I won an auction on eBay that contained two sketchy LCDs and one set of hinges. So I have a couple of spare Pismo LCDs. One is supposed…

I found that last night, sadly, its all slot-load. :-/

Check out this site/document http://www.scribd.com/doc/103447/iMax-G3-Disassembly-Guide/

I need the service manual. Serching high and low only gives me the slot load. I have removed the CRT completely and now I don't remember what the non standard looking cables are an…
