    PB 3400c Startup Issue - It Doesn't

    As I continue to unpack a 3400c/Kanga stash stuff comes up that I don’t remember from when it all was put away. Comes now a 3400c with a startup issue. It chimes, the HD spins up, it takes some time to check the RAM and the LCD backlight comes on - and that’s it. No Happy Mac, no HD reading...

    PowerBook Open Firmware Issue (?)

It will NOT start up from any CD or DVD with an OS on it (it will play a movie DVD) and 2. the Sound Control Panel is locked out. I’ve swapped hard drives and and CPUs (daughter cards) and zapped...

I have not been successful with an mSATA SSD in a generic...

    PowerBook Display Backlight Install ????

    OK, we have a couple of folks on 68kMLA who can fix PCBs, etc. better than new. Do we have anyone, or know of anyone, who can & will replace the backlight in a PowerBook display? I have two Pismos that are great except for the orange (on one) or very dim (on the other) at startup...

    What Am I?

    This board came to me in a box of Apple II stuff and it obviously isn't Apple II. IMG_2734.JPG IMG_2735.JPG Google tells me that MacSnap is gear for early Classic Macs - 128s, 512s and the like - but I do not find anything specific about an "Aux. ROM Board". Surely the answer is here...

    SE/30 Logic Board Question

    Trying to figure out a "new" logic board in an otherwise proven SE/30 computer. Known good ROM SIMM Known good all RAM modules Known good floppy & hard disk drives (known good Disk Tools or system software) Starts with no chime but with a good image of the "happy Mac" on the CRT, goes to...
