do you still have the original 68LC040 daughter board? If yes, I would swap it back into the 540c and boot from it. When everything looks fine, do the upgrade and after that swap the PPC back in. And as the last step install that battery software.

I currently have 4 different irons but still not what I'm looking for..have a cheap adjustable Conrad station, Ersa Multitip (fixed temp), a cheaper adjustable and a chinese adjustable but it doesnt hold the temp very good. On YT many use the pinecil and it looks fine, but its about 100 bucks...

yes, of course Orinoco chip based pcmcia cards can be used, I did that in the 1400c and 190cs, but its only 11Mbit/s WEP. I also used a standard pcmcia-to-USB card off Amazon in an early G3 PDQ two years ago. There must be a way to get 54 Mbit/s Wifi cards going..in the photos above I already...

from here: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/os-x-on-a-powerbook-1400c-400-mhz-g3.11316/page-2#post-135599 I wonder what card cage could be used here, or maybe another mod?

nice machine..maybe it's necessary to install an enabler or other special software for the support of PPC, like for the Powerbook 1400 with a NuPowr G3 upgrade? I would load this CD image to the BlueScsi card and give it a shot..Bruce did a good job here for the steps.

I'm trying to get CardBus working in my 3400c, some old sources say that the Texas chip maybe to some degree compatible with CardBus cards but who knows exactly. https://lowendmac.com/2002/cardbus-upgrades-3400-hotrodding-tibook-paint-protection-sleep-of-death-and-more/...

yeah, my 540c black coffee edition would have looked similar I guess..actually its not so hard, so I would go for it, once everything is disassembled ( also display) and taped it doesnt take long..dont know which color scheme I would go for with a black keyboard though.

well as there are no schematics available this ia trial and error..as your pad leads under the chip. Maybe you could share some good photos of the whole board, especially from the upper left corner where the keyboard ribbon cables connect to. You already may have looked into other threads...

works like a a charm, thanks

also a power brick came in, of course dead..should have gone the route for a new power jack and modern brick..would be quicker than waiting for recap shippings

..came together quite nicley..as said, not my preferred color but nice nontheless, fresher. the little leftover gray parts also give a nice contrast.

was looking for some matching platinum or even similar spray color for the 190cs but the closest I could find was a primer color..I try to match the original color of the keyboard mostly...a little brittle fun project

you can do different installs onto a CF card and boot from them, so that you can see up to which distro the pcmcia works

nice haul..it's getting tight there..(y)a 17" PB up on the right ?

I wonder what combo for a 2400c would be better in the long time running , IDE/CF or IDE/SD card..
