I rebuilt the battery of my Pismo too but the battery life is the same as it was before, it is only enough to get the Pismo to sleep once I remove the AC Adapter. The system profiler shows 38 mAh left before and after the rebuild. Has anyone an idea to reset the BMS so that it gathers the true...

I already overcooked a PDQ from 266 to 300 MHz and this went through perfectly. So I will get down to 400 MHz again and hope for the next one. I need a defective for parts unit anyway as mine has a missing DVD-ROM drive, instead there’s a „Weight saving device“ in it which is useless for me...

Yes it works flawlessly under 9.2 (installed with OS9 Helper) and I use Classilla 9.3.4 to download softwares for it. I only own a Xircom CreditCard Ethernet as a PCMCIA NIC. A 3com Fast Etherlink is laying around too but the pigtail is missing.

I overclocked my Pismo to from 400 to 500 MHz too but the experience was bad. Many Kernel panics in OS X 10.4 („You need to restart your computer“) whilst using CPU heavy applications and graphical glitches in games like The Sims. Then i got down a little to 450 MHz and much more stable now with...

I installed OS X 10.2 using XPostFacto on my Kanga but sadly Ethernet does not work. Is there a way to get this fixed?

PRAM battery was already replaced with a new one (NiMH Type). Luckily there were no damages caused by the old battery except of green corrosion on the battery plug itself. It stays cold nor is it leaking. The hinges are in a perfect shape too. But usually hinges are only an big issue on the...

I purchased a G3 Kanga with a still working Li-Ion battery. It provides about 2-3 hours of battery life but charges very slowly (multiple hours charging time). But maybe this is normal for such old devices. As I’ve read of battery fires regarding old Li-Ion batteries, I’m unsure whether i...

I now tried an entirely different set of donor chips (i ordered 10 pcs) but still same result. The RAM error is not present anymore but still only 16 instead of the full 24 MB are recognized. Maybe it has something to do with this missing resistor? But this is unlikely as then Pin 1 (5V) of one...

Checked this, there’s only one way mounting the chips

Thanks for the information. Will investigate that.

Yes that’s also my thought that the Chinese guy may sent me faulty chips. But with only one chip faulty it should at least recognize the working ones?

@croissantking Yes, the card looks the same on both sides and there were indeed 4 chips populated and 2 unpopulated on each side. But as I said, with all the spaces populated still only the original 16 MB are recognized by the system and not the additional 8 MB. And i get an RAM error whilst...

Thank you both for the information. As suitable chips are very rare and i was only able to find the Samsung ones (1x16), I will scrap the project and stick with 48 MB in the 1400c. I hope i will be at least able to make the 96 MB expansion card of the Kanga to an 128 MB one. I ordered the chips...

Sadly I can’t edit my previous post anymore due to time period expiration. After some search, I found the datasheet for both chips: For LTT version: https://pdf.datasheetcatalog.com/datasheet_pdf/hitachi-semiconductor/HM5164165J-5_to_HM5165165TT-6.pdf For ALTT version...

These are the chips I found https://www.ebay.de/itm/273639328048?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=707-127634-2357-0&ssspo=1IHhDRVoR46&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Ry6avOEiTwK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COP So they are not compatible if i understood you correctly. The chips soldered on the expansion are...

So I assume it’s the same issue for the G3 Kanga? I have a 96 MB expansion card and wanted to bring it to 128 MB by adding the 4 missing chips in order to get the full 160 MB (128 MB expansion + 32MB MoBo). I found 4Mword x 16 bit chips on eBay. Will this at least work or will i have the same...

That makes sense. Thanks for the information.

My RAM setup is 8 MB MoBo 8 MB factory 2x 16 MB user = total 48 MB The expansion cards have 4 unpopulated spaces each, so I wanted to bring them from 16 to 24 MB. So I soldered additional KM48C2100CS-6 (each 2 MB) chips on it. The same as the thread opener intended to do with his expansion...

You are right, i have 8 MB MoBo and 8 MB factory (i forgot about MoBo RAM). So the additional chips are not recognized at all. I desoldered them again and the RAM errors are gone. Maybe the Chinese supplier sent me faulty chips or these are not compatible with the machine.

I removed the small 16 MB stock RAM card with just the expansion card left in and now it recognizes the full 24 MB soldered on the expansion card. But it throws in error that the memory check is failed and i shall contact my dealer. After i skip this message Mac OS boots flawlessly and even with...
