1400c!

[sambapati87]

Horray! I've always wanted to screw around with one of these.

It's a 117mhz, 16mb, but thats a start.

nice machine

the hard drive looks to be positivly tiny though and the machine has a 64 mb ram ceilling but if you can live with that its a great machine

 

[sambapati87]

I think the guy selling it misrepresented the HD space -- he also said that this was Apple's first portable machine and the first they shipped with color, which is obviously false.

Can I have the bag?

 

[sambapati87]

Maybe, I'll PM you after I get it.

 

[funkytoad]

Looks very nice!

 

[sambapati87]

Crap!

Strike One: its a 1400cs

Strike Two: The LCD was destroyed in shipping.

I'm seeing about a full or partial refund so pick up a new panel.

 

[bluekatt]

strike one is not so bad its still a 1400

strike 2 :...bollocks ! crap shipping you should at least get a partial refund

Look on the bright side - now you can replace the display with a TFT display - the 1400cs and 1400c both used the same mobo (in fact, the only difference between 1400 mobos is between the 1400/117 and 1400/133 or 166 - any 1400 mobo will drive any 1400 display), meaning that the display from any 1400 will drop straight in.

That's crap, it was clearly sold by a dishonest seller. The 1400cs display is utter rubbish, and the "c" displays are much harder to obtain. Hope you get your cashola all back.

He's going to give me $10 back (bought for $20). I will have to get a new screen.

Interestingly enough, there seems to be something in the expansion slot(?) that I can't identify.

If you're looking at the back of the 'book, the expansion slot opening on the right side has an exposed circuit board with 2 LEDs on it. I'll have to check it out.

On the bright side, if I can't find a screen I know I can part it out for more than the $20 investment I've put into it, or give it to someone here.

 

[retrogmr]

There were only two expansion modules available for that 'book; an external video adapter, or an ethernet card. If it's the latter, they're pretty tough to find; more likely that if it has LED's on it (link and activity).

 

[sambapati87]

Yea, but there is no ethernet port. Just a black transistor/diode looking thing.

[LCGuy]

Thats the IR port, with the window missing that should be there. Standard feature on 1400's.

 

[sambapati87]

Ahhh... didnt think of that.

Damn.

 

[bubbleman7546]

just wanted to throw this out there, if you decide to get rid of it, i might be able to take it off of your hands.

 

[Redjack]

Hope you get the refund. Powerbookguy has replacement screens as low as $30 for 1400. Dunno about quality but it's been around awhile (the company) and is practically a PB "industry standard" in some circles. Hope all goes well!

I always hate shoddy packing, just because there's tons of newspaper and even bubble wrap doesn't mean that the LCD isn't at risk!!!

Crap!

[sambapati87]

I did get a $10 refund (payed $30 including shipping).

Another member of the forum here is generously sending me a near-complete 1400cs with no hard drive and a broken keyboard, so I'll take the best of each and put them together to make one good one.

If I just cant stand the cs screen, I'll try and look for a replacement. --You're right, I can get a complete 1400c panel including bezel (my current one is pretty scratched up) for $30 from powerbook guy. Nice.

 

[Bunsen]

The cs screen is alright, not brilliant, but alright. I wouldn't want to watch movies on it much, but it gets the job done
