Finally I grabbed the PowerBook at HK$111. Pretty cheap as a parts machine. I tried to power it on but it appears the GLOD or Click of the Death. So I opened it and had a look an…

I've just installed it. No registering reminder and no WEP problems. Maybe it's been opened up with the latest download? My 20 meg storage card turned up today, works like a cha…

Hey I had a B&W 17" with the exact same problem a couple years ago. I tossed it, figuring it was unfixable. It was by me. But I guess not by everyone. Too bad, I guess.

Thanks Finally I placed HK$111 (~US$15) and will get the mac this evening Hope it's easy to fix...

While I hope that your cheerful optimism proves out, it may turn out that the burned resistors are a symptom, not a cause. Resistors are pretty hardy, and not generally given to sp…

I wish that the driver was totally free and WEP worked no matter. Also, that little slip that comes up every time I soft reset telling me to register gets annoying. WPA would be n…

HK$99 to current exchange rates is AU$14.56, or US$12.67. I'd jump on it.

Well, should you want to try the shorting trick be sure to check for very low energy on those terminals first, we do not know that all packs will be in a safe cooperative state! M…

It's great to hear that you got it to work that way, Wally. Very interesting! I'll have to give your method a try (and maybe the "short + and -" method, too) the next time I have …

Finally got my MP 2000 online using a Lucent WaveLAN silver card. 3 hours it took me to work out the settings! Kudos to the Japanese guy for writing the drivers. Click to expa…

Ah yes, it may be null modem. But the way I have the Apple II set up, I have a 25 pin male to 9 pin female serial cable off another older external modem, so if this is a "null mode…

Just remembered (cleaning up the other day) I think I've a Diamond 56K external modem at my parents with the right mac serial --> DB9 connector; will report back soon JB

Any ideas? Click to expand... You may be inadvertently using a null-modem, or may need to use a null-modem to swap the TX/RX wires over. Years ago there was a common little th…

yeah, it's a prolific based USB to serial adapter, got it at microcenter for $30 after seeing the price of the keyspan twin serial adapter ($80!!! ). I was surprised this works wit…

Have you tried a different power adaptor? Any Duo (will run the machine, though will NOT charge the battery), 1400, 2400, 3400, G3 or clamshell iBook adaptor will work. I've had m…
