Paid $25 for a Mac plus today complete with external hard drive, mouse, and original manual (with filled out but never sent in Apple registration card!). Slightly yellowed and kind…

I'd love the mini-CD drive as well. I have quite a few mini-CDs; and I'd happily burn some of my software to one (mini-CD-Rs are easy to find,) to install on there.

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 …

What an awesome find. :O Its a shame though that it doesn't have the mini-CD drive that the one in the movie did, as useless as it would be it'd still be neat.

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…

Lots of pictures here. Oh, and it loads "C:\Sys\MacsBug" at startup! :lol:

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 new posts search works fine. Thanks MacJunky and Wacky Macs!

Another forum I go on (MacTalk) has a live posts spy...I never use it. I think it would only really be of any use for really big forums.

I have a ton of iBook Parts. Good Conquest! I assume its the 500MHZ Version.

Thank you for the photo. There are a number of differences between the older and newer boards, so one need not be worried about the green wire soldered to the Xtal. Such wires ju…

Get an old toothbrush and some soap and see if they scrub off.

Posted an Ad wanting cheap mac laptops and someone offered me a iBook G3 500 with 'some' damage. Well the screen is scratched (not cracked but scratched), the keyboard has duct ta…

I dark green on the pins of a few chips behind the serial ports, as well as blue/green on the chip directly next to the internal floppy port. Actually, I just looked at it, many ra…

The only dead motherboard I cannot revive (so far) by replacing capacitors is one from an 840av that has some gook under important chips. I can't tell from your picture how much co…

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…

Not that big, TBH. The software took up most of the space.

Well, after a through cleaning/drying to see if I can get it to boot temporarily it still does the same. I'm thinking even if I replace the capacitors that it will still be dead be…

If you are experiencing that era, why not install the legendary Word 6 to go along with it?

I think we are fine as-is. If you want to see the new posts without all that effort of looking for them(it is so hard isn't it? Just cannot click that many times and look.. ) th…

This is probably the closest to what you're after: search.php?search_id=active_topics

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.

Just whatever you do, dont do what I did. xx( :'(
