Ooooooooo..... That implies you could do the same job on a 2300 - if you can find the clock jumpers

Does anybody know how to set the processor clock on one of these? I have enough spare parts that I'd like to try upgrading the processor to a faster chip, like a 180 or 200MHz mode…

Yeah...the thing is, the other motherboard doesn't even chime. The motherboard thats in it now chimes, and comes up with an image, like I said, it just doesn't boot. (either it han…

Wait.... You tried switching RAM, CPU, and motherboard, running on an external monitor, yet it still fails? That strikes me as it MUST be something in the power supply. The only…

I've just ordered a Panasonic UJ-841 DVD-RW for the Lombard. $AU55 inc shipping from the UK and with warranty

The original iBooks (and the later ones, to a lesser degree) were quite difficult to extract the hard drive from and leave the machine looking as it did before it went into surgery…
