How do you get the VGA port going? Is there a setup or function key to press?

I just took apart one of the G3 AIOs that was arcing particularly violently. I blew everything out with canned air and jiggled the analog board a little bit and now, so far at leas…

Doh! I wished I had thought of that....

It is probably a combination of what Unknown_K said and the fact that I think the "remaining time" shown while its plugged in is time until fully charged.

Are Lombard batteries anything like Wallstreet ones? On a Wallstreet the lights on the battery are on when it is charging and when fully charged they go out. You could have issues…

No need to stick anything inside the drive in most cases. Just hold the mouse/trackpad button down and then start 'er up. Keep it held down until it spits it out (takes some time, …

...or just hold the trackpad button down -- an external mouse isn't a requirement, AFAIK. The trackpad button method has saved my bacon many a time.

Ok, the Lombard works as long as I don't make it overheat. For learning PHP/MySQL it's pretty good and runs cool. I ran it off of battery for a few hours yesterday, leaving it id…

Remove the battery and power for a little while, then attach the power cable only. Slide and hold the power button over, and a very dim screen should come up asking if you want to …

I've never had this with mine but I'd suggest signing up here: http://www.newtontalk.net/ If one of these guys can't help then I'd be surprised.

I have been using my Newton at least once a week (usually during the boring weekly tech report meetings of endless powerpoinr slides of tedium). I love my Newton 2000 but this Mon…

I tried those drivers already, but they don't seem to work. ???

You will probably need to use a newer version of the Orinoco drivers with OS 8.6. Version 7.2 of the drivers is available here (at the bottom of the page): http://www.alksoft.com/p…

Greetings everyone. I just reinstalled Mac OS 8.6 on my 1400 and I have an ORiNOCO WaveLan wireless card for it. Before I installed 8.6, the card worked perfectly (System 7.6). But…

Make sure it is not less than 75%. Go for 90% to 99%. Make sure the percentage is listed on the bottle because they will try to sell ya the weak crap if they can. The higher the …
