    Powerbook G3 Pismo seemingly dead?

    The only one of those I found on eBay is $40 shipped so I hope I don't need one...I can try swapping the other power board from my working Lombard into the Pismo, though.

    Powerbook G3 Pismo seemingly dead?

    I did try that...it didn't work, same symptoms as before.

    Powerbook G3 Pismo seemingly dead?

    I recently got a Pismo (with a 500MHz PPC7410 upgrade!) but it's...seemingly completely dead? Plugging in my 45W yo-yo adapter does absolutely nothing, neither does the key combination for a PRAM reset. Is something fried? Do I need a different power adapter?

    Wallstreet PDQ not even trying to boot from CD-ROM

    I hate to necro my own thread, but I added a CF to IDE adapter to the PDQ and now it won't boot off a CD any more? I have no idea why, I'm using the same CD as before.

    Wallstreet PDQ not even trying to boot from CD-ROM

    So! I left the PDQ plugged in overnight, tried it again, and it magically works now? I was able to boot off a CD at last! Maybe the backup battery just needed some juice?

    Wallstreet PDQ not even trying to boot from CD-ROM

    ...what reset button on the back? I don't see a reset button anywhere.

    Wallstreet PDQ not even trying to boot from CD-ROM

    I finally got a CD-ROM drive for my PDQ that had come without one, but it's not even trying to boot from it, even with me holding down the C key. Now, this PDQ is weird about starting up and doesn't even show a green LED when powered on, so maybe there's a power problem? Could this be PRAM...

    Received the Performa 476 I purchased from @AppaloosaMac today. It runs great!

    I paid $125 for this one but it came loaded (maxed RAM, the full AV kit, USB card, etc). Don't regret it it all! The 9.1 install needs to go, though. This system just doesn't have the grunt for OS 9.

    Local-ish, picked it up at VCF East in New Jersey. I'd never ship one of these, they're fragile enough as is!

    I sold my Power Mac 5400 and I was missing it, so naturally when the opportunity presented itself I bought another one.

    Power Mac 7600 PSU clicks but doesn't start up

    Is there a thread/blog post about what specific kind of PSU I would use to do that?

    Power Mac 7600 PSU clicks but doesn't start up

    That's no good...at least I know I have a working machine for now, even if the power supply decides to drop dead.

    Katheryn's (k24a1)'s conquests

    I had to replace the power supply in my 2.1GHz iMac G5 but after I did that, it was fine.

    Evie's Conquests

    After a few failed attempts, I finally got my hands on a PowerBook 540c! It works great, the plastics are intact enough to manage, and I'm very happy.
