I don’t have time until this weekend. But if no one else gets it done before me, I can do it for a PowerBook 500, PowerBook Duo, Q700, and Q950.

If I remember correctly there are two enable signals, one for internal and one for external, both from the IWM. Curious if they might be shorted causing the internal to respond as both external and internal. Or maybe something’s wrong along these lines with the IWM. I think there is a shared...

Nice!!! Congrats!

Yeah that looks pretty cool. I also finally got a PowerPC card but I am still running 7.6.1. I think I will always be a System 6/7 person.

Wow, this is so neat. Love threads like this. I don't know enough in this space to contribute but going to be watching this with much interest :)

Ah, interesting!

Congrats!

Looking for ribbon cables for a spare passive and a spare active LCD panel I have, both sharps. I did receive two of those CCFL tubes and wiring connectors. But I've put the complete systems back together already with replaced clips from other lids I had. Once I find new ribbon cables, I'll...

No, for the 500 series PowerBooks, it's purely mechanical with no magnets. Just a spring and latch.

Glad to see it's working for you. I can look into sharing the code when I get a chance.

Replaced the front facing cover panel (the one with the latch) with another, and it works fine. The latch mechanism itself seems to be the same, nothing broken or missing. But it looks like the hook itself may have deformed on the ones that aren't locking. They are bent backwards slightly...

I have three working PowerBook 500 series now. PowerBook 540c with PowerPC CPU Card and 32MB memory module, 320MB HD, Hosiden LCD (Active) PowerBook 540c with Full 68040 (w/FPU) overclocked to 40MHz and 32MB memory module, 160MB HD, Sharp LCD (Active) PowerBook 520c with 8MB memory module...
