G'day all,
Is there any sort of schematics for those PowerBooks?
I have a couple of non working PowerBook 3400s - both 200 and 240mhz, they have had battery cancers on those. I've cleaned them up and they're dried up etc but still showing corrosion.
Symptoms;
3 logicboards - shows video but no LCD backlighting - you can see it booting up but no video.
1 logicboard - wont boot an OS/HDD/Floppy - will only show mouse cursor but no floppy/Happy Mac icon - just blank screen with mouse, If I disconnect the HDD it'll have flashing Floppy icon, tried booting from floppy - it won't. I've already swapped to 4 hard drives - zilch!!
2 logicboards - dead/dead! (suspect broken traces eaten away from the battery acid)
I'd be happy if I can get at least 1 or 2 working from parts off others.
Cheers
AP
