Have you tried resetting the Power Manager? :?:
The power-on-off behavior you describe doesn't sound like it's necessarily keyboard related. There's next to nothing that could …

IIRC, the 1400 uses a plastic hook that pushes a switch inside the bottom case to sense lid closure, rather than a magnet and reed. Try poking something non-conductive in the hole…

Well, it was literally just the computer in the box. I was kinda disappointed. Oh well. The new RAM I bought also works in the Quadra.
I'll keep a lookout on eBay for an acce…

Have you looked at the switch that tells the Mac when the lid is closed? That's often a reed switch and magnet. Reed switches have a tendency over time to get "sticky", and your 14…

A 470 uF mylar would be huge! Going up a step in voltage won't hurt, and may offer a bit better reliability, but the temperature rating is a better measure of how long they last. I…
The OmniBook 300s are beautiful. Never been able to land one.
I do have a OmniGo 700LX, but no phone for it, of course. I used a 95LX for a long time. A delightful little unit.

You can do the glowing Apple Mod, where you change the color of the Apple. Those are great laptops, I have one in my collection, it's my mom's.

Dead logic board battery? PRAM needing reset? Hard drive(s) could be of an ATA standard that isn't supported? Maybe the controller for all the drives went dead? All the above? …

Nice... so the reseller in Singapore didn't actually have the cable they claimed to have. So I'm not out $25, but I also still have no way of getting stuff on or off of this syste…

Windows 98 SE can use wireless, if you buy an older card with drivers. I remember one time when mom brought home a State of Texas laptop from work. Damn thing had no Ethernet port …

Windows 95 means no wireless and no even remotely modern browsers. I'm going to put in a 128 MB stick and try either a trimmed version of Win2k or slackware. Id' do gentoo so I c…

I was at SalVal today, and found a small leather bag which contained a fully functional AST 280M notebook.
Specs:
Cyrix (Ha! Remember them?) 200GXM CPU
32 MB RAM
8" 640x480 colo…
Ouch! A replacement CD cable from the computer recycler in Singapore that (apparently) bought all the unsold stock was $25! That one cable cost me 6 times what I paid for the com…
Does anyone have the pinout for the internal keyboard connector on the PB1400?
The one that I had declared "dead" works just fine hooked up to external monitor and kb/mouse with th…

That's certainly a cheap fix. Be patient with the teardown, and keep track of your screws.
BTW, in case it wasn't clear from LC_Guy's reply above, the "Kanga" G3 Powerbook logic …
