Yeah, 255chars is ridiculous. @Admins: could you please change it back to what it was? pretty please? And I don't see why some of you don't like my spinny avatar... it took me …

Sigh... I'm afriad this is a project beyond my comfort zone at this point...

Yeah, I don't like this new limit, my sig is about 270 characters and it's already quite compact, what happens when I want to add a machine to the list? :disapprove: Click to …

Well, you could always shorten it - I think a lot of us would appreciate that.. You could also get rid of that freakin' spinning avatar....

Hmmm... I guess my sig is never to be changed again... (

So no Macintosh programmers recognize the irony? Code: Str255

Must have changed with the 3.0.6 update. However, 255 characters seems more than enough to me. Not sure why it was ever 500. Anyway, not my place to change it now [)] ]'>

Yeah, it's a change that came with PHPBB3.5 (or whatever it is.) I had to redo my Sig.

Note that if you're ever tempted to replace that hard drive with a Compact Flash card, it's not as easy as it should be.

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 …

Hey, nice find. Post a pic.

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 …

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…

On the same subject. I have a AGP 400mhz Gigabite that refuses to boot from the retail OS 9 CD. Tried 8.6 but no go. It tried from the CD 10.4 but it kernal panics. ideas? Cl…
