My 2400c had something similar with its backlight after I restored it. I assume that it had not run for several years before I did the surgery needed.   I found that regular use s…

Ignore that. Now I can speak using a client of the Dark Side (IceChat). The good thing is that it can autologin in NickServ.

I guess I'll just tell them it's defective (for my purposes) Click to expand... I thought the term was "fit for purpose", if you explicitly said you were going to use it with a…

I tried this monitor on my MDD 1.25 GHz for Tiger and the best resolution available was 1024x768! This monitor is going back to the store. I guess I'll just tell them it's defecti…

A little tip - if you're going to keep it running System 7.1 after you install the LC575 logic board, make sure that you've placed a copy of the System Enabler 065 into the System …

Just get one of those damaged screw remover kits. Once you have the screw out, use a dremel to give it a slot across the top of the head so you can use a regular old flat head scre…

Just be aware that the machine is not designed to run with the lid closed Click to expand... From the Pismo technote... The computer includes 8 MB of video memory, which…

I'm fairly sure most PowerBooks can do that - if I have an external monitor/keyboard/mouse on my PowerBook 1400, and I press the power key on the external keyboard with the lid clo…
