Thanks! Yeh it seems to be pretty stable right now.  If you come across an extra panel let me know, I would be interested. Thanks again.

Tech - thanks again, as always. You are right, fluid leak around the ribbon cable inside the screen. I took off the shielding and played around, i used isopropyl to clean off the board as much as i could and there seemed to be a slight improvement.  i then noticed part of the ribbon cable...

Can you determine why this screen is doing this? All caps have been replaced on back of the screen and on inverter board.  There has been no improvement or change since cap replacement. I've reseated the video cable several times on both ends without much effect. The top portion is always good...

Thank you for the reply. The PRAM has been reset.  The video cable has been reseated. The dark video persists. The brightness will work going down, and back up with the controls but it just doesn't get very bright. Are there any electrolytic capacitors to replace on the 500 PB series? Does the...

I have a PB 540c with an active-matrix color display.  Everything works but the screen is dark.  The brightness buttons slightly make the brightness flicker when pressed but does not make the screen bright. I've read that I should replace the caps on the screen, which I've done on my PB 180 -...

The "Startup Disk" app is not compatible with the Mac Plus.  I have confirmed this to be true, and read it online, but I don't know exactly why it's true. Thank you.

I want to force my Mac Plus to boot from a certain SCSI ID, where I have a chain that has multiple drives that contain system folders.   I can't change the SCSI IDs of the drives due to other circumstances, so I want to force the Mac Plus to boot from a certain ID.  As it is now, the Mac keeps...

I cannot get my powerbook 540c (OS 7.5.5) to boot from a specific SCSI ID even when trying to manually select at boot (Command-Option-Shift-Delete-#).   I have two different system drives on the same scsi chain, but it will always boot from the drive with the higher SCSI ID. If I manually...

I recently purchased a V5.0b SCSI2SD from Inertial Computing to be used in my Mac Plus.  I cannot get the board to be recognized by a Win8 desktop.  I've tried different USB ports on my computer, and different USB cables... The utility is always "Searching for device". Windows does not...

Strange corrosion on the case frame - thick white powdery surface you can see in the first picture around the CPU.  White corrosion uniform to the whole frame.....thinking i'll need to completely strip it down and clean it... maybe there's a metal cleaner i can use? No spill damage I can...

Very helpful, thank you both.  I didn't remove the stickers but I will replace them - thanks!!

I won an Apple II "Plus" on a goodwill auction recently for around ~85 total.  I don't typically collect these machines, and the last time i used one i think i was in middle school. It came with a stack of cards that i'm looking to identify.  In the 3rd picture i can see one of them is a 16kb...

I read somewhere in this forum that it's possible to transplant the screen from a Duo 230 into PB 100. Duo 230 Screen Built-in Display:    9.1" Grayscale    Native Resolution:    640x400 Details:    9.1" grayscale passive-matrix (4-bit, 16 grays) Supertwist LCD with a 640x400 native...

you guys got it, thanks.  it was listed with a bunch of PB stuff so i assumed it was related. with the tip you gave me, i found a description of a similar card on ebay which matched my photo (note this is not the auction i'm bidding on):

This is part of an auction I'm bidding on, but there is no info included in the auction, just this card in the picture:

Thank you. Yes i was curious if there was a procedure for upgrading the ram, but replacing the ram is straight forward enough provided you have the skills and the ram chips available. I was more wondering if the ram had to be enabled with a resistor or a custom rom image. I saw mention of the...

I've seen online in a few places that it might be possible to upgrade a MP2000 to a MP2100 though a 4mb ram upgrade.  Is this possible and if so can you point me to any information about it?  I'm assuming this does not include just replacing the mainboard because that would obviously be useless...

I'd love to know how this worked out - were you successful? do you have any boards available? thank you this is a great idea!

I bought a PB180 on ebay that had this card, this is my first PB.  I think its a ram expansion card, it has 20 chips counting both sides - i'm hoping it's the 10mb version. Couldn't find this on google anywhere: Simple Technologies STA-PB180 thanks for helping identify!

Mac plus battery door, might fit other models:
