Hi guys,
I have a pb 190 which when turned on does the regular Apple 'good' boot chime, then after a little while (I think after it counts the ram because the time changes depending on whether I have the extra ram installed or not) it does a very slow death chimes, reaaallly slowely. No screen...
Guys... thank you all for your valuable info! I've found a modern top-quality efficient replacement for our Cubes:
All on mouser:
80 Watt TDK PSU
List of other PSU wattages available (110 and 65)
Datasheet of 80 watt (says +v is on pin 3&4)
Datasheet of plug (shows pin 3&4 are the two...
Okay then I think that rules out the Kycon mini-din as that is 8.90mm:

And of course, for some reason the Amphenol one has no measurements...
Am I reading this correctly? Thx
Would you guys say either of these are compatible connectors? :

The Amphenol looks correct pin placement...
Hey guys,
I've started running my pb 1.67ghz g4 osx leopard machine without its main battery as it's basically dead, but now it always loses time on boot. Is there another battery I need to swap out?
Cheers for advice,

I had a search on the internet but can't seem to find any topics on this. Although the panel in the 17'' powerbook is ok, I think it is only TN and the contrast ratio isn't too great. I'm wondering if the part is replaceable with a more modern IPS display, does anyone know? Thanks
Hey guys,
In my previous thread I heavily modded my G4 Cube and sprayed it copper. I wasn't keen on the copper so today re-sprayed it gunmetal grey. After spraying the case, since I had the internals of the Cube out I decided to route the USB sound card internally, remove the outside...
I found a site here that has some images you could try: http://www.savagetaylor.com/2018/01/05/setting-up-your-vintage-classic-68k-macintosh-using-a-scsi2sd-adapter/
I am not an expert on Macs to be honest, my _only_ experience with vintage Macs has been restoring this machine and an 840av...
@ants I'm wondering if your extension could be ported to OS X? I have a similar setup on my G4 cube which uses an internal wifi travel router, but being able to select network etc would be bliss.
ps - there is a small bug in the extension (I think?) when trying to shutdown the Mac it will say...
@cheesestraws I am so sorry, I don't know why but for some reason I didn't see any notifications for the thread! Thank you so much for making this, absolutely appreciated!
Hi @ants
I got it working, this is how:
1. did a full reset of the router, holding reset for 10 seconds.
2. Once connected, plugged into my main pc with ethernet and went to 192.168.8.1
3. Set my password etc, then entered the main screen
--- this is where I did something different ---
