Unfortunately, with RadioShack out of business, you only have mail order for such things. Unless you know of an electronics store and go there and but the battery.

I have the movies on Youtube, but I miss instructions how to do it. So how do I connect power to de HD without having the correct power unit. Could one use a generic one with some …

I've powered up a Widget standalone to ensure that it was passing its internal tests (there's a video on youtube) but beyond that you require ALL of the guts of a Lisa to do much e…

So..... It could work on a Macintosh XL

You can't use it on any other computer other than a Lisa 2/10.  You could power it up but be prepared for the sound of  jet engine taking off.  Other than seeing if it spins up, th…

"Just a case and monitor" - no logic board then? It's just an empty case? From what I understand, the Wiget is a parallel hard drive, so it's not usable on a Mac.  You might want…

On that note, does anyone have or know of where to find Fuser or Fissioner? I'm not sure they're necessary at this point, but all the available tutorials seem to be specific to tho…

I should have put a question mark on superseding. It's a proposal-topic. It just seems like there's next to nothing on 3400 repairs.

Never mnid. I found a Newer Technology drive enclosure initially meant for a Mac Mini.  I put the hard drive in there and just accessing it on the Ubuntu box is so much faster …

I reset the BIOS on the Bay trail machine and it now has Ubuntu 14.04 installed and sharing its wifi connection over ethernet.  I tried Linux Mint Mate 17.1 but couldn't find a sim…

The font aspect I know is possible (in theory), though I'd have to track down my research on the font templates. At the time, this predated my use of emulators, so I had no deve…

On the Newton? I doubt it. Japanese is somewhat possible but even then the support isn't great. You'd have better luck turning off HWR and just letting it clean up what you draw.

Is this a power board problem? Because if so I'd probably like to try and get my money back on the replacement board.

Personally, I like the look and feel of the 1400c. But i also like the sound of the 3400c.  But I also have more Duos than I know what to do with. All color.  If I were faced in …

If your 3400 works, for the love of all things holy, check the PRAM battery and if it's old get it out of there...

While I have the Bay Trail machine working again I may either leave the iBook there or try my Lombard to see if it can handle sharing its connection since either of them would take…

Dump the 1400c IMO. That's the easiest one to pick back up if you ever wanted to. You've got the 3400c for the speed demon, the other one can be less practical, and I'd keep that D…

I took some voltage measurements, though not very systematically.  On the logic board, I measured between ~1 and 3.5 volts (and nothing in places).  On the power board, I got a ran…

OK well that is interesting. Would still really appreciate your post... I was wrong: my 5300c powers on without PRAM battery with the new power boats... which may not speak to w…

Batteries made no difference either way in my cases.

And let me also ask this: my 5300c had a dead PRAM battery. It usually starts fine. Initially, I thought I had noticed that it would not start at all without the dead battery c…

I'd be really appreciative if you could send me a link to the topic. Until I'm sure a power board is working correctly, I'm not sure how much else I can do/diagnose.
