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..

oh, Steve Buscemi obviously..silly me nice kanga

the last pic is cool..what comedian is that, british?

I usually try to get the device IP first. I connect it to my known working Powerbook G4 with Tiger, hardwired through ethernet cable, then allow WIFI internet sharing "through ethernet". Usually all older machines get detected and a correct IP addressed. Then I can use the IP for manual...

that is a good question, 5300c and 190 cs use a 10.4" display but the manufacturers and display cables may be different.. but it should be doable:

ok, intzernetz works now, had to share it up to my 12"G4 to see the actual IP the 190 is getting..the old 3Com EtherlinkIII pcmcia card is still doing a good job..also the 68k version of iCab browser..not sure what usage is this good for. lol.

it gets better when you clean the trackpad but it comes back quickly..and yes, wet or fatty fingers are a problem, maybe the tiny trackpad is just not good quality..clicking and dragging works under 8.1 though

hm on the oldCrap site there is a photo with the same mod done on the board..so I guess its stock, strange. my 'power adapter' ..it runs, but the mouse on the trackpad is very jumpy, hard to navigate, I cleaned it three times now but doesnt get better..

At the moment I'm working on the revival of a PB 190cs, I got this unit a few days ago..I like the idea this is the last 68k machine of all powerbooks before and the fact that is similar to the 540 machines but with pcmcia, basically..and its actuall small footprint, smaller than the 3400.. of...

I rember reading this precious teardown thread ..a pity there are no compatible available modules around for hacking:LOL:

I'll 'highjack' this thread for just a moment.. I could get a Duo 230 but the screen looks bad, vinegar syndrome? ..is it fixable when I try to peel off the polarizer film and replace it?
