Hello!
I recently picked up a Powerbook 150. It was in bad structural shape. I fixed the structure, but it does not work (nothing on screen, no backlight or anything and no sound other than the HD spinning up and seeking) The cables and everything in there seem to be fine, except for that there are two empty ports on the logic board, one of which is for a modem card, which i do not have, but the other would appear to be for some sort of RAM expansion. I hear people talking a lot about RAM expansion, and it seems to be in every powerbook, but mine is missing it. The powerbook has not been recapped btw, but I want to know if there is some simple fix before I order capacitors (local shops closed due to pandemic)
Thanks in advance!
