^^ 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…

place a small (real small) magnet about 1.5 cm down from the top and 1 cm from the left side. (If you have the broken screen laying around you can find this magnet on the other si…

Don't think there's any way to do that in software. You could open it and unplug it from the logic board...

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.

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…

IT'S ALIVE!!! All I know is that I put the battery back in and pressed the power button and it booted up. I don't know what happened. I don't care. Yayz.

My PCI SCSI card is an Adaptec 7850 flavour card, model AVA 2906. A fairly common card so it could be possible that it is the same as yours. Drivers for OS X can be downloaded here…
