    possible ram identifications?

    Top left is for a 190/5300, a 3400, or a Kanga. Can’t tell which since they look nearly the same. Bottom left is for a 1400 Bottom right is for a 1400, i think. The right middle one is for a Duo And I can’t tell what the top right one is.

    I wish someone would give me a 2400c!

    PowerBook 520 screen question

    I actually do have a spare Toshiba TFT cable but shipping to Canada may be a bit of a pain.

    PowerBook 520 screen question

    The cable is specific to each screen type and manufacturer, so you will need a Toshiba TFT cable in order to use that screen.

    Duo screen fix?

    If you're really lucky, it's just an open via or trace on the panel's PCB. Chances are though that the caps damaged connections in the driver ribbon that sits right next to them, in which case that panel is toast. Look really close at the cable next to the caps and check for dark spots (corrosion).

    My 3lectr1cal Conquests!

    I actually just got a new shelf a few months ago 😅 Had to shuffle things around after the swap meet because the two wood ones became full:

    My 3lectr1cal Conquests!

    I just found a laptop that I never expected I would! A PowerBook 180 with (effectively) no tunnel vision! Okay, so if you leave it on for an hour and a half and then pixel-peek the left corners, there will be a tiny tiny bit of darkening. But it’s so minor that a camera won’t even pick it up...

    PowerBook 3400 Battery in 5300

    Very interesting info! My 190cs will run off of a 3400 battery (presumably won't charge one but I haven't checked). My 5300ce on the other hand does not run off of one whatsoever. Both are "AA" units that went through Apple's service program. Both run fine off the original NiMH batteries so it's...

    VCF Swap Meet 2025 Haul

    I'll have to see if I do. I definitely have a spare 14.1" panel, question is whether or not it's compatible. Will let you know if I don't.

    VCF Swap Meet 2025 Haul

    So far I think I still prefer the PDQ over this one, but it certainly is a quite nice machine. Thinner and faster, although my PDQ has a 466MHz upgrade card in it (this Pismo is a 400). I let the battery charge up and it lasted for one entire minute before dropping to zero, lol.
