So it seems I need this part M3179LLA and a duo memory expansion card, is there anyone still selling these besides the one on ebay for $100 which doesn't seem to include the expansion card brace. From the manual ''If you have more than 4 MB of RAM, you can create a RAM disk to help maximize...

Would 8mb be enough to be comfortable?

There doesn't seem to be much in the way of ram available, would PowerBook 190/5300 8mb RAM Memory Module - 911-415 Kingston KTA-PB5300/32 fit the PB150?

It worked !!! I'm guessing it was a floppy disk issue, as when I was making the disks after reusing the same one I got an error after about 6 uses. I used and booted from the NAD, copied the 19 files to the PB , extracted them with stuffit 4.5 on the PB, then it mounted the install CD image. I...

Thanks guys. The set of disks the second time was a different set. My G3 is a blue and white. I will try the NAD and 19 files and report back. Just trying to figure out why I keep getting the error.

So I got another new second hand USB floppy drive because I kept getting the error message around disk 2 of the instalation, thinking it was a drive issue. I burned the set of 7 disks of System 7.5 again and this time got to disk 4 before giving the error, (it gave the error just after swapping...

I got the hard drive changed to the 1GB one out of a 1400, I booted with the tools disk and could see the contents of the old drive on the desktop, nothing would open because everything was from the 1400, I went to initialize the drive but was unable to, disk tools wanted to repair the drive so...

Thanks for the input, I am looking for the least most complicated option, and most likely to succeed. I had a lot of unsucess trying to get an old Ipod updated with a CF card. I may stick to a getting a new old hard drive, unless I can get the old one apart or there is an easy method of using an...

I disconnected the ribbon cable from the motherboard and then gently lifted it to get to that screw. I was then able to remove the drive, in order to disconnect the cable I had to remove the drive from its caddy first. I then opened the hard drive, it seems the rubber bumpers were stuck but I...

I clipped off the battery, I'm still stuck getting the hard drive out, it has the top screw, the one by the cable and another one underneath the cable, I can't get to it without damaging the cable, and I can't seem to detach the cable without removing that screw... Also here it that piece of...

OK I will, I was thinking it would need desoldering, I'll just clip it. As for the hard drive, do you mean to remove the screws on the hard drive itself, I thought these were keeping the drive together. There is the one screw next to the ribbon cable, the one under the ribbon cable that I can't...

Now I'm having an issue where the rear screw housing is not lining up, and the bottom two rear screws are just turning and not grabbing anything. The metal battery bracket also came loose, I taped it down. On the inside there was also this strange cylindrical piece of sticky foam that seemed...

Thanks, I got it open, I didn't see that one. It seems the battery has leaked, I will desolder it later. I cant seem to get the old drive out, as there is a screw under the ribbon cable, the ribbon cable seems stuck, how do I get it disconnected? I pulled the plastic ribbon a little but it...

Update. I was able to make a tools disk from the G3, to test if the floppy drive on the powerbook is working. It is, it boots from the tools disk however it can't detect a hard drive either with the drive setup or disk first aid so it looks like the disk is dead. I need some advice on opening...

So a 1GB drive from 1996 out of a 1400 would work?

Would a non apple branded hard drive work in the powerbook, for example an IBM drive, not just would It be recognizable and able to be formated with the tools disk but would it physically fit in the laptop? I have seen a 10GB IBM drive for sale, however I am thinking it would need to be...

Hi new member here, I have just recently aquired a powerbook 150, I have some questions about getting it going. The first power adapter I bought from the States an ADP-17AB a ''low power'' supply from what I have read (maybe on this forum) specifically designed for the 150. the difference being...
