Alright, so my power source is the Apple Low-Power AC Adapter; I couldn't find anything online about the requirements for the PB180 but here's the specs of the power source: Input…

Absolutely the better of the two, especially if you can pick it up cheap with a parts/broken 1400c for spares. The difference in quality between the c and cs is astonishing.

Sounds like a solid plan. I've got everything packed up to head back to university, so I'll check it out later tonight when I get there.

depends, you could solder a new one on, but if the original issue that fried it in the first place is still there, you will have just burned out another first place id look is to …

Thanks a lot man. Would the fix just be to solder on a new one? That is if it is the part you think it is of course.

I cant find anything for those numbers (damn apple using noname china knockoffs) it appears to be a fet, but with what stats i dunno might try abit harder when i get home from wor…

Hey guys, guess who got the Macintosh! Complete book! I did, bwahahaa!!! } I just read the first 7 or so chapters last evening. It's a rather bizarre book, but rather fascinati…

I'd go for it...as the others have said, its a much better display, you'll notice straight away, and you'll probably end up using the machine more because of it...I love the active…

Okayy... I guess this will be the final update lol Basically everything is working fine, except I've found the source of the burning. One of the black boxes on the underside of the…

R$ doesn't carry a matching replacement part and the one they do have will be an ugly install anyways. So, really, I had no choice. I also intend to put copies of the morning ser…

Well done. I had thought the machine was toast.

Alright, so small update: All I've really changed is I've put the battery in as well as the power cable (I only had the PB plugged into the wall without the battery up until now).…

Hey everyone, FIrst time poster here. :scrambled: I was wondering if anyone would be able to point me in the right direction as to what I should do with my PowerBook 180. Back …

I saw one on Ebay last year go for $275. My maxxbidd was $95, and I thought even that was pushing it! I would love to own one, though!!!

Check out some parts machines that have the active matrix display before heading to sites like Wegener Media. It may be cheaper just to get a new one, in some cases. :-/

Good then that gives hope to the eMac in my schools computer lab that is failing.

Welcome to the eMac Club! I own a 700 mhz one and they rock. slightly loud and heavy but nice nonetheless. I am not sure if this model is one of those that has the leaky caps but w…

Nope! http://lowendmac.com/orchard/06/0912.html Pretty neat!

Today I drove about 75 kilometers to pick up a eMac listed on Kijiji for $160CAD. Its pretty sweet. Although it only had OS X 10.2 installed with 128MB ram, I put in a 256MB stick …
