As it turns out, the hard drive was not the problem. The System 7.6 CD was. That is why I kept getting random freezes. I got the PowerBook 150 Enabler from Apple's website, loaded…

Yep, all PowerBook floppy drives have doors. The reason as to why the eject hole is in a different place on yours is that the PowerBook 150 uses a manual inject floppy drive, same …

What do you think of the screen? I have read much derision being poured on the PB150 screen, but this, I suspect, is based on the specs:year of manufacture ratio rather than what i…

There's a product called Chip Quik which is supposed to make this type of work easier. You paint it onto the joints you want to desolder and it lowers the melting point of the sol…

Nice score! The PB150's are cool machines. I hope your 4GB drive will work for you.

Good to hear that its got a RAM upgrade - the main thing like I said, is that it has the right angle adaptor, which allows you to use Duo RAM. That 4GB hard drive *should* work - I…

It's got 8MB RAM but the hard drive, which is a 250MB, has problems. It will "freeze up" when in use (I've tried twice to install 7.6 on it--yes, I finally have a use for the 7.6 C…

Not bad. I hope for your sake the RAM has been upgraded - even though they use Duo RAM (which if you can find a Duo, is easy enough to find), they require a special right angle …

How about a Bolo tracker?

Hey, nice find. Post a pic.

I picked up a PowerBook 150 in excellent condition for $10. It works perfectly and seems to even have a working battery. The drive is empty but I'll be booting it up later tonight …

Well, I finally got that new display cable today. So I got right to it, I took apart my laptop and tried to fix it. Pics of repair. Sadly. It turns out to be the controller bo…

what have you attempted, thing with most commercial soldering jobs is that it is soldered on both sides of the board, as the holes are lined with copper or tin and it is risky biz …

Maybe I'll put classilla.org on it. |) Click to expand... That would be really cool. :b&w:

I have been wanting to modify an Asante SE/30 ethernet adapter card to remove the stock pass-through connector and replace it with a right-angled connector. My attempts so far hav…

I think you should put the SE/30 up on the web and host a webpage. Click to expand... I am actually considering that very thing. I do have some space on the rack and some unall…

I bought a huge lot of old Macs from the non-profit recycler a few years ago. Most of the Macs were all from the same company and none of the hard drives were wiped. I pretty much …

Digikey's 3.9uF cap worked great. Last time C1 blew, I just swapped analog boards. This time I repaired the original analog board by replacing C1 with the Digikey cap, swapped th…

It does sound like a dried out solder joint, somewhere in the red line. If it was a dying gun I wouldn't expect it to be intermittent at first. http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/monfa…
