Fairly sure the pad repair is beyond my skill level.  Tried a bit tonight.  I'll have to clean it before/if I try again.

Maybe There is a way for adapting an easier to find part, since this laptop is hard to find parts. Anyone have tried?

Probably unlikely... anyone have a 3400c logic board out that they'd be willing to take a picture of?  Specifically the underside right below the power adapter port and next to the…

I just did this, I actually just popped it open with a screwdriver and radioshack sells a 6v 4.5AH battery that fits snugly into the old battery for 20 dollars...

Very good! Now all you need to do is retrobright the space bar, and you can get it looking even better! c

I did not look close at connector. I may be wrong, but there may be two different style connectors. I know not all widgets are the same. Not sure on power. Also it may be an after…

Any ideas when the WIKI is fixed? Maybe a repair of the database necessary?  Need any help?

Aha! I tried it on a widget drive I have (wrapped in plastic) and ...yes...it fits! Not sure what the power like cable is for. I see the widget drive needs a more complex power pl…

Great suggestions everyone. I'd like to dispose of the current cells so will open up, but I also have a replacement battery that is rated exactly the same as the original so may w…

Do you guys have a link for a site with a junk one? Could not find on eBay and we love macs won't ship to Brazil

For the Widget hard drive. Mac XLs usually came with a 10Mb internal drive.

nice job!

In my Macintosh XL I found three cables. Two are for a disk, but not for a floppy drive. 26 holes in two rows of 13. Who knows what they are? And what is the white one? Seems some …

One key didn't work on my M0110 which came with my newly acquired Lisa/Macintosh. I seemed that the spring of that key was broken. The keyboard itself was very dirty. I decided to …

The image is even more clear now. I adjusted the image on the back of the PSU. Now the screen is crystal clear! View attachment 6314

Yep, unlikely you will find a brand new replacement part... best bet is to find a stuffed 1400 on the cheap with a good LCD and scavenge parts.

... from another junker 1400cs or 1400c, they are a straight swap.  No other easy way to source the part.

Hello everyone I've got a powerbook 1400 with a broken lcd panel but could not find a repair part. Any idea where I can find? Thx

So last night, I pulled the logic board board back out of the SE/30 to have a closer look for damage and ascertain it's general condition prior to sending it for a recap. I beleive…

Could you take a photo? I don't think I've ever seen an "external disk drive icon". What happens if you boot an earlier system from the internal floppy, like System 6?
