^^ I was referring to the ring of light (provided by LEDs) on the power plug. Click to expand... Ah, okay. That makes sense.

don't spend a ridiculous amount of money to get the one working; set a cash limit and stick to it. if it doesn't work out, then sell them for parts.

Glad to hear that it worked. After trying more sophisticated methods, I found that this gentle mauling produced better results.

^^ I was referring to the ring of light (provided by LEDs) on the power plug. Anywho, yeah, I'm actually using one of them now. It's INSANELY fast. For some reason, Apple updated …

I have already resert PRAM NVRAM. It did not seem to do anything? Click to expand... Something else is going wrong here. Maybe a faulty video card? Seems strange though, since …

Hi thanks for the advice It is a 12" PowerBook running Panther I have already resert PRAM NVRAM. It did not seem to do anything? How do I boot in to Target Mode and what is Targ…

Hi Luke, Man, this is a strange one. I had never heard of such a thing. Now, I just looked and it seems there's quite some threads about similar issues on the Apple Support forum …

Grab both ends, and twist hard, back and forth, around the long axis. Repeat as necessary. The two halves will snap apart. Click to expand... Thanks.. to my surprise, that actu…

Hi I have a problem with my PowerBook It boots to BSD (Command Line Interface) instead of OS X (GUI Aqua) This Video shows more http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_m2oKfxF3fI Please…

What LEDs? I can't see any LEDs on my 12" AlBook.

Nice work, I always like to hear of something coming from faulty Macs Build up a good one using the best condition parts for yourself, and sell the other on eBay as "faulty". …

Being bored and crazy (and maybe slightly drunk...), I lurked on eBay for a while before purchasing a set of dead 1.67GHz 15" AlBooks, knowing that both are dead and battery-less. …

I also have some dead iBook clamshell batteries. I have tried to figure out how to take them apart, but so far no luck. I peeled the stickers off each side and I can see the cell…

Seems okay to me too... a ][+ is getting to be relatively rare these days. I've seen crappy IIe's sell for more.

The pricing there is reasonable in my opinion. $50 total equates to about £25 and most Apple II gear goes for way more than that here.

All of Herb Johnson's stuff is overpriced. Click to expand... I kinda had that thought too, but it's really odd because he has this note on the Apple II's for sale page: Th…

Last I heard, Apple II prices are starting to get up there. But you're right, the missing keycap is a cosmetic problem at the very least and a functional problem at worst. (IIRC,…

All of Herb Johnson's stuff is overpriced.

Seems high to me. But then again, a quick scan of eBay confirms that astronomical prices for Apple II stuff seem to be the 'in' thing right now. I'd bet someone here would have one…

Take a look at this Apple II, especially the picture, and if anyone here has some estimates as to what it's worth, I would like to know: Apple II Plus #034, one drive disk I…

I figured it wasn't a good idea, but it's always nice to have confirmation. If money wasn't so tight right now, I'd have a lot more options... but since it is, I'll just have to h…

It needs a SWIM chip too doesn't it? Maybe that chip is gone, but the power is still hooked up, so the floppy drive powers on and starts to read the disk but then nothing is there …

I'm pretty sure that ROM support for those devices was removed after the Rev.A machines. Luckily you can drop a 333MHz CPU module into a Rev.A : - and a bare Rev.A board should no…

I am 99.99% certain these hacks will only work on a 233Mhz Rev A board. Click to expand... Make that 100% on the floppy drive. Maybe there are further hacks that can be done t…
