Hey guys, I have recently (2 months ago) aquired 2 Powerbook G3 Pismos. One is 400 MHz the other is 500 Mhz. The 400 has a cracked LCD and it doesn't boot. The 500 has "many missing parts," the LCD is fine, and it doesn't boot.
I took a look at it and tried to replace the "many missing parts" that I could see were missing. I took the HD from my Lombard (OS X 10.4.11), the RAM, and the PRAM battery.
I plugged it in and nothing. I left it like that overnight and tried again in the morning and still nothing. But I did notice that it was recieving power (the keyboard was hot.)
I don't know what else might be missing, any ideas? I'm itching to try out the AirPort card that was inside the 400 on it. Too bad that it isn't compatible the Lombard. Thanks!!
