That what I second that too - check for broken/rotted traces etc - my 550c had broken trace which caused issues and since then its fixed. Cheers AP

Has the PRAM battery been removed and checked the logicboard is clean and clear of any leakage? Cheers AP

Quick answer from top of my head - yes they did it was only a couple. Cheers AP

Wow thats good news... good on ya - Ive got one of those CPU cards and very keen to use one day! If someone is able to make an PDS adapter. Cheers AP

I was thinking about that - and I thought because I really like the PDQ and I didnt want to push it, 333mhz is good enough as it is. If I get another 300mhz (3rd CPU) then I'd consider it. No difference between 300 and 333mhz. While I was benchmarking I was touching the CPU area and I was able...

Couldnt choose 2, In the middle below CD Drive or below left from CD drive. Cheers AP

Confirmed. Since I had a spare 300mhz CPU I decided to see it myself. Moved the resisters over and put it back in PDQ and powered on - at first go it fired up! System info shows 333mhz - Ripper! As I really wanted 333mhz. Decided to benchmark it - same specs as iMac 333mhz except the Hard...

Anyone? Cheers AP

Good evening all,  Can PowerBook 3400 Batteries be rebuilt, I've got 9 Batteries that will not charge, any instructions or information regarding this? If I am able to recell them and get them working again - can that be done? Cheers AP

Love Quadra 650/800 board - solid macs they are.. Cheers AP

Hey all - I have 300mhz G3 PDQ PowerBook G3. I was wondering if I could overlock to 333mhz? I seem cannot find concrete info so far. Cheers AP

G'day all, I have this spare PowerPC 604ev 300mhz Daughter Card for Power Mac 8600/9600. Currently my 8600 has 250mhz card in it. I was reading up on XLR8 page about overclock to 350mhz or 400mhz. Should I do it? (FYI my soldering skills is good) Cheers AP

Good morning all,  PowerBook 5x0 series battery rebuild/recell Is the battery bricked if they show "X" on the icon in finder? This is the 2nd battery I've tried rebuilding the pack and it still shows X and I seem cannot get the battery charged up or recognised - what am I doing wrong?  So...

I have gone thru several 3400s - they are *brittle* as - it all comes down to how they were stored/used etc.. my current 3400 is pretty good and it hasn't cracked or anything... Ive got a few cracked as well. Cheers AP

Yep - its slow, If you wanted 100mhz 603 - Just get PB5300. I do have that CPU as well in 540c as well and if it had 68040 originally just stick with it. But bonus if you have SCSI to IDE adapter and use SSD in it then its kinda different story. Cheers AP

Another 550c on ebay! Wonder who it belongs to!... Cheers AP

Interesting what Battery is that? (edit: realised that's PowerBook Duo battery) This battery pack is from my 1400c/166 which is why I looked up that pack with that link above. Cheers AP

Ive been eying on this one for a while - I am suspected its the same as 1400 pack. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Replacement-Battery-For-FUKUDA-CardiMax-FCP-7101/292068610746?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=591046782145&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 Cheers AP

I do recap myself but I dont want to say "I'll do it" but I dont have the time, or I will do it but like in 3 months.. SO I'd say no, but I can suggest you Bruce Rayne to help you out, he's also from Sydney too. Cheers AP

Yep common issue as stated above. I used to have PowerBook 5300ce back in late 90s and it was a nice laptop. Saw that on ebay recently - congratulations - I was one of bidders as well but I got outbid. Cheers AP
