I had that happen to a screen when I had some PB1xx systems. If I am not mistaken it is screen rot and is unrepairable.

Based on the other Kanga I have, I've determined that this one's issue has to be the backup battery. One Kanga boots from battery and keeps proper time. The other one does neither.…

I had a double take on the title. Burn!

Installed version 4 but the LC520 ( OS 7.6.1 ) does down when Toast 4 is launched. Is there a Toast 3 or 2 somewhere ?

HAHAH At the screen! That is soooo cool! It looks like confetti.

Well, my Portable is back to its old tricks: Power on, chime, die. Doesn't matter what I unplug from the logic board, I can't even get it to do what it did yesterday (power up, sp…

Should work just fine. Just make sure you use Toast 4 or earlier, as it's the last one that works with a 68k processor. But, to answer your implied subject-line question: No, you…

Update: After storing it with both batteries removed for a couple days, I have gotten a little further: So before, when I had all power unplugged for a few minutes, it would start…

Sorry, I missed the Kanga part somehow and had it in my head that it was a 3400c. Still, for $12 you can't go far wrong. Click to expand... For almost all intents and purposes …

It's been left plugged in for several days and exhibits the same behavior (and consistently loses date/time settings, which is pretty much a guaranteed sign of PRAM battery failure…

Erratic and observable power-related behaviour is characteristic of backup battery failure in nearly every single iteration of the PowerBooks, though the early ones (1xx series) se…

One more problem...the battery holds a good charge, but the machine won't boot from it after sitting unplugged for a half hour. However it will boot from the battery if I unplug th…

I've got a Kanga G3 Powerbook which I picked up recently for essentially nothing. It's running 9.1 and its RAM is maxed out. The battery even holds a 2+ hour charge. I've got it co…

Do you reset the power manager after plugging the Portable in (press the interrupt and reset buttons together)? After it's had all power removed, my backlit Portable always requir…

I have started the upgrade, almost finished but ran into a snag. The one thing I have not tried is installing a PDS terminator in the G3 card. The directions say nothing about t…
