Pulled from the scrap heap: Powerbook 3400c — #6
You got lucky if it still has it's hard drive. Most recycling places yank the hard drives and scrap them which really irritates me because those early Macs use drives that are spec…

Geeko - It does have a CD drive that spins, also a floppy. I can provide a battery from a PB 5300 (NiMh) that holds a tiny charge. The unit did not come with a Li-Ion battery, they…

I'm guessing my G3 issue was a bad cache, luckily I bought 2 G3 266's in the same auction and the second card works. Unfortunately I do have the OS 9.04 upgrade issue now. I do h…

Pulled from the scrap heap: Powerbook 3400c — #2
G - say, I have a 3400 with very good cosmetics but the "black screen" issue - probably a dead logic board/VRAM. I think I have decided not to try and fix this one, since my other …

I made a run to the local computer recyclers last week (to pick up an imac G5 to fix for them=> now fixed and returned, only needed an os reinstall) and when I was about to …

Yeah, sound crackling seems to be common among the 3400c. Me and my brother's PB3400c make a "crackle" sound only during startup, when it's loading the sound extension. Perfectly f…

Seems to be a grounding issue. if I pull the power plug and run it from battery, it completely stops. Faulty PSU perhaps?

Now here's a good question. What would cause the speakers on the lid of the 3400c to "Crackle"? Like with static.
I fixed the issue I told the seller about with the screen artifa…

It supports some of it already, but a lot of it will be a long time coming, if ever. For example, , and t…

OS 9.1 is supported on x100 series Macs so long as you use an original Mac OS 9.1 install CD. You cannot use a Mac OS 9.0 or 9.04 CD + the downloadable 9.1 updater.
If you don't h…

Hey, maybe you can help me diagnose mine sometime that I bought last year. Guy shipped it well, but I think the HV section is bad even though …

9.0.x yes, and I think 9.1. 9.2.x, no.
Just committed to a 128! — #1
In my semi-weekly search of Craigslist, I found a week old listing for a 128. The lister says it has a 256 KB RAM upgrade (which makes it still less than a 512, but more usable th…

Very insightful comments trag, thank you. I played a bit with the CE pins before, attempting to make a direct connection to ground which didn't help. I think I'll test the voltag…

$50 for an orange iMac - reasonable? — #40
$50 is NOT resonable for a mac of such age. A 733MHz G4 tower maybe, but not a G3.
Offer at least $30, they're still making a buck. That'll at least fill the tank on one of the te…

Need some help with a Kanga — #12
Yes, it's doing a basic RAM test. You can't do it on all Macs, but you can likely disable the startup memory test by holding down option + command (I think) when you double-click …

I plugged it in, like a kid on christmas expecting something extraordinary, and again NOTHING. So I decided to whip in a Mac IIfx ROM SIMM, remove the jumper, and see what happens…
