still nothing. am i missing something..?

whew.. so i made my own tools. top casing is removed, keyboard disconnected, what should i look for? the power plug's connector is deep inside and seems undetachable from the logic board (or maybe a separate board with the power, modem and sound in/out ports on it).

you know what's funny? i've just tried once more and the screws on the bottom of the dispay came out with no problem using the smallest one. but the ones on the top of the keyboard part just don't match.. shouldn't they be the same size? :puzzled:

ahh.. these are called 'imbus-keys' or something like that here. i happen to have a full set of them, but the sizes are not compatible. the smallest one just goes around in the middle, the larger doesn't fit inside. maybe you have a different standard for them..

'alan'..? never heard of it, but will ask around next time, thanks. :) however, currently i have to get thatt damn battery charged one way or another..

i would, by all means, but imagine this: in my country it's completely impossible to get ahold of a torx screwdriver. :O i've checked every available shop in the capital but with no luck. so until i get one from ebay i have to stick to the service or connecting AC to the battery pins directly.

hi everybody, so i have a powerbook g4 aluminum. so i yanked the power adaptor cord. and so it is really messed up. the plug is just one thing, but i think the internal connector is broken, 'cause when it's plugged in it charges for a few seconds, then it doesn't. regardless of moving it or...

not a word in reply and ebay search reveals 0 items for 'ethernet duo dock'.. guess i'll just have to wait and keep trying. thanks anyway, now i think there is hope. :)

i've tried '16sce dock', but so far nothing. waiting for a response to my PM..

rats. item has ended. :( well, i'll try to PM him if he has another one. thanks.

hi, if this (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150233238786) is what you're referring to, i gave it a look, but there's no utp connector. maybe i'm missing something.. or weren't there any utp connectors back then?

scsi microdock.. got it. :) hope there will be some on ebay. hope somebody will be willing to ship it to this godforsaken country. :p

thanks, but these are all fat binaries. ;)

hi all, i recently bought a 5300c with a farallon en card. now the card does everything but work, despite that it has its own working driver install floppy. under 7.5.3 it is shown in the TCP/IP control panel, but on activating it, it just freezes. under 7.6.1 it doesn't even show up although...

don't worry, i won't after have seen what's inside that bastard. maybe only if it's my last chance. :) still waiting for that dock.. but if it needs third-party software to work then maybe i'll try to trade the whole powerbook for another - my old dream - a 68k one. preferably a 68LC40 one.

wow. you beat me in googling. ::) thanks again, links highly appreciated. it seems whai i really need is a newer technologies microdock. hope it does not require software to be installed. btw i just noticed that the system profiler reported a weird thing: internal hd - ATA. this means that...

thanks, i'll look into it. as for the SCSI disk mode, i'm going to try it as soon as i get another vintage mac and a scsi cable. anyway, interesting info, i didn't know pre-firewire macs can do this. for now ethernet would be best. now this is weird. never though it's so simple. if only the...

i have thought of that earlier, but i have no cables (know any haxie to attach an ethernet cable to say.. a PS/2 mouse plug? :D ) and my oldest mac is a quicksilver g4. quite a sorrowful situation.. btw only in theory - since i haven't any modem or ppp control panel - am i right to assume that...

hm.. and i'm guessing those are exremely rare..

thanks a lot, but don't bother looking for an HDI-20 because i have no floppy drive (only an IDE one for my old pc). ethernet would be the best option since i have loads of classic apps and games, and some don't really like classic and os 9.2.2 on my pbg4. not to mention being able to use...
