Use PowerPC for a week? — #40

For reasons already mentioned by Cory5412, I have difficulty considering machines running older versions of Mac OS X to be "retro" anything, and I don't find the idea of using it t…

PowerBook 3400c Repair Stories — #70

I did much soldering (TV, amplifier, radio etc.) BEFORE I bought my first computer (Amiga 500) 26 years ago. And then I swapped one hobby with the new one. Years later the par…

PowerBook 3400c Repair Stories — #69

Well Macdrone I just meant that until either of us has successfully repaired a catastrophically damaged 3400c, I don't see any reason to stockpile boards that we can't clearly repa…

Here are two pics from a PB 3400 (128MB) RAM and a PB G3 Kanga RAM. Can anybody please tell me what size the Kanga RAM is? Seems to be equal. Hmm...

So that's very similar to the status of my repair board. Last thing I was doing was trying to replace little caps that hopefully regulate ADB - hence my request for the photos. …

What would it take to get the 240's off of you? I have more itching for another 3400 project.

Progress : Just tried that SCSI trick, now the corroded 240Mhz board boots on a Zip. But unfortunately no ADB nor trackpad control, nothing.  So I get on the desktop and can do no…

PowerBook 3400c Repair Stories — #57

The connectors won't fit.  So no.  There are probably also a slew of other incompatibilities. But also if both VGA and a working 3400c screen don't work (I'm not sure actually abo…

You could try reassembling the all thing , and leave it unpowered but plugged to power brick for a night. My Kanga was not booting one time, I think it was after changing the HD, …

Oops, dishwasher is not really my choice. Or baking a logic board, as some guys do... But yes, I'll take out the lb but not today.

PowerBook 3400c Repair Stories — #52

I don't want to suggest you do anything that will harm the Kanga - particularly because I think it'll be difficult to find a new logic board - but at this point I would take the bo…

PowerBook 3400c Repair Stories — #50

Wait.  The 3400c display does not work with the Kanga?  I thought that it did.  If it doesn't then there are some more basic problems.  I assume you have taken the logic board out …
