From memory the 750/750AV fixed a lot of the problems with the 1710/1710AV, and had an updated CRT with a slightly better dot pitch.

With all the issues they had, even back when they were new, I'd imagine that a working 1710 series display would be rather hard to find nowadays. Click to expand... It appears …

The 7200's were never popular and if I remember correctly(which could be wrong) they had some serious QC issues and bugs in the design. You are a brave man for trying to upgrade a …

Progress is that..... a cd did become mounted on the desktop... at least, ones that boot automatically seem to mount, and after installing Toast I got one of my own burned cd's to …

I've made some progress! Well, I cant get the internal scsi, but I have an external cd-r and an external hard drive & am booting os 8 from the external hard drive.... but …

That model can display to a VGA monitor, with a DVI-to-VGA adapter (which was included originally; but if you got yours used, it's understandable if you didn't get it; and if you g…

Ive re-celled quite a few batteries in my time, but when it comes to laptop batteries id just rather get a gneric brand replacement or at least see how much a place like batteries …

Sure thing. I guess I'll just run it with power... Ok and also, The floppy drive makes discs spring back out. They bounce out like if they were spring loaded. Any ideas? Oh and I…

Whatever you do, do NOT put cells from ANY iBook battery into the PowerBook 150 battery. An iBook battery, like just about all laptop batteries made in the last 10 years, uses Lith…

The funky ghosting and fadedness point to hardware, not software. If you plug it in to an external monitor, does it work? Click to expand... I haven't a clue. I don't have an e…

The sonnet was the root of all the issues. I need a L2 Cache DIMMM then to make this mac usable.

Cool, Pics will be up later today? Anyone know how to Re-Cell a battery? I have a few old iBook ice Batteries that I can kill.

I reinstalled the driver for ATi, it takes Mac OS a decade to boot, and finder hangs. Its on a 400mhz G3, it should be fast! The sonnet accelerator is one of the worst boards I ha…

You need Trackpad Climate Control. Works wonders.

The hinges having play can be fixed by tightening the screws attaching the hinge to the case. (If it isnt the spring in the hinge.)

Wow thats really strange. Why don't they dry up? what happened to them? Freecycle is pretty awesome IMO. Does anyone know about how to fix the play that the hinges have? And ano…

WTF. 8-o

Weird - seems like a video chipset issue, or a video driver issue.

I got a free PB150 off Freecycle last year. Definitely remove the rest of the rubber feet - they never harden up again and they're sticky and disgusting. It takes a number of Q-Tip…

Cool thanks for the info Byrd! Will these ever dry? Or should I just scrape it all off?
