    Installation media or image for Powerbook 540c with PPC upgrade

    you'd just want a generic 7.5.5 CD image. The PowerPC upgrade card didn't come with an OS, it just came with a driver disk I believe.

    Error Code 0000 000E / 0000 0400

    000E is usually a memory issue. have you reseated the RAM SIMMs? moreover, what have you actually done to try and "rescue" it? have you opened it up? sad mac codes are generally vague and barely helpful in my experience.

    you could play around with bezels and such. there's a few gameboy replacement LCDs that do different tricks. generally they pixel double. the one for the OG DMG gameboy is actually 4:3 and is partially hidden under the housing.
