@ants Yeah ip's seem fine. I'm gonna try some more stuff today I'll let you know what I find.

Hey guys, The G4 Cube PSU is terribly inefficient. Even when the machine isn't turned on the PSU is kicking out heat. Has anyone known of a modern equiv or has anyone got the pinout for it?

NEW DAY, NEW TESTING: Okay decided to start again, I re-flashed with the latest GL-AR300M16 firmware from the manufacturers website, this still includes WRT 18.06 so it should be fine. I figured it might be the pure OpenWRT that might be causing an issue. After this, I was facing the same...

Hi all, I have a fairly strange issue with my terminal in Leopard 10.5.8 - Upon opening terminal, it is active and infront - When clicking terminal (anywhere) it gets pushed to the background - When trying to click terminal now, the mouse does not even recognise a terminal window, it will...

I also had good luck with VIS - but that is some terrible service. If they don't want to give refunds for faulty products they should advertise as so. I checked their website and they do not have a refund policy for defective units, they only talk about 'ordering by mistake' and restocking fees...

@ants Firstly thank you for all your work, but I am struggling, I hope you can help me get this working: system: --------------------- Powerbook 190 Using System 8.1 with 40mb ram pcmcia 3com 589 ethernet Opentransport 1.3 --------------------- Process I followed: GL-AR300M16 /...

@cheesestraws I can confirm this solved my problem :)

I found this option in the TCPIP control panel, I'll try unchecking 'Load only when needed' and see how it changes things.

@cheesestraws I had a look but found nothing, I then did a search online and found this: https://apple.fandom.com/wiki/Network_Software_Selector So I guess I'm not supposed to have it, but I don't seem to have any MacTCP control panel etc so maybe I'm not using it. I do have a TCPIP control...

@cheesestraws Hi and thanks for the help. I do have Open Transport 1.3 installed. Should I disable MacTCP? Does that involve just disabling its extension? I am a proper MacOS noob thanks for the help :)

Hi there, I am not too experienced with the inner workings of Macos 8.1, I am trying to get my internet to come up faster.  System specs: PB190cs w/ 40mb RAM CF card HDD MacOS 8.1 3com 589d ethernet using drivers from this page: https://www.floodgap.com/retrotech/mac/enet3c589/ problem...

@mac-cellar A better version I found here: But yes the same kind of thing. I heated the batteries up too long with my solder and they unfortunately don't charge. I'm going to try again but this time I'll be much quicker with the solder.

@sutekh Cheers for the photo of your pram battery build. I attempted exactly the same thing but I think I applied too much heat dwell time on the batteries and they're not holding charge. I've re-ordered some new ones and was thinking of using conductive electrical glue this time, what do you...

I noticed you don't mention what you've already done. I recommend (if you haven't already) remove all the electrolytic caps, give the board a thorough clean in distilled water and IPA. Clean all vias, chips and sockets. Replace all the capacitors. All of this before worrying about 2 random caps...

I just noticed you might have been referring to the rear of the motherboard.. sorry this is all I can find.

Also replaced the corroded battery connector today, not an original apple part but its dimensions seem ok.

U27 on the rear of the PB190cs, just out of curiosity:

Recently I was shown a horror story of capacitors inside the screen inverter board & display unit going bad and ruining someones old powerbook. I then realised that although my screen was new old stock, the caps were still 30 years old and have a shelf life. I opened it back up and replaced...

Here you are, list of all caps: source: http://www.maccaps.com/MacCaps/Capacitor_Reference/Entries/1993/7/29_Quadra_840av.html

@Rajel FYI I got my replacement screen from https://www.applemacparts.co.uk/ - but I checked that part number and they don't have your screen unfortunately :(
