So due to monetary restraints, I unfortunately wasn't able to get *all* of the massive Part 2 lot that I posted about earlier. I did walk away with a number of neat things, including a NIB Newton 130 and boxed Newton OMP (more on those later) The best thing I picked up though was this guy, and...

After I resoldered some broken joints on the analog, the 128k works great! It does have a memory upgrade (as I should have anticipated) in it though, it doesn't provide SCSI or anything. I shouldn't really complain though. The drive is totally gummed up so I can't check it out for the time being. 

Most of my recent scores were from CL, but this was actually in a Facebook marketplace group.

Got the following for $40 today. All of this stuff was super dirty/beat but cleaned up ok. 128k (Can't tell if it's been upgraded - if it has, not past a 512k or so) - this has startup chime but doesn't do anything. (+kb/mouse) G4 cube (+ psu) Performa 475 IIc + color monitor (+ psu)...

So I got to check out the storage unit of the collector I bought a bunch of PB stuff from earlier in the month. We're still working out a figure, but this stuff is sitting with my name on it. 1 Axiotron Modbook + big box of Modbook parts 1 Gemini clamshell iBook (touchscreen/tablet version) 1...

Prepping the 2300c I picked up lately and I realized that the sound (including startup chime) is not working. The PB works great otherwise.  I don't see too many SMT caps on the board, but does anybody have any suggestions on what I should try before I do a recap or disassemble the display to...

Verified that the psu isn't the problem - correct output. I'll keep a lookout for the fuse, thanks! @MikeatOSX It's a 180 (not 180c)

So 2 of the PB 180s I picked up lately don't power up. One seems to make a small "blip" noise about every 5 seconds or so, the other has the screen turn on for about <1 sec. This is with both main batteries removed. Are there any fuses I should be on the lookout for on this MB? Thanks! -Jeff

Alright, $300 later, I have everything. No pictures yet, but this is what I got (some things got lost in translation in our original emails): 2 Powerbook G3 "Kanga" (both working with max RAM, one has some bad plastic damage though) 1 PowerBook 100 1 PowerBook 165c (working) 4 PowerBook 180...

I just saw this now - I'd be very much interested in picking up at least 1 of these boards

This is probably the only time I've ever put up an wanted ad on cl really, I used to be more active on freecycle back when it was easier to do so. Postings here have been slim. Haven't gotten this stuff yet as I need to find a time to get it all, but it turns out that all this stuff was...

So it turns out that this was more stuff than I expected. The 1 PB 180c I thought was there was actually the following: 4 PB 180     3 PB 180c 1 Duo 2300c 1 PB 520C 1 PB 165 1 PB 100 We agreed on a price - everything mentioned above + in this post for around $300. It's pretty hefty in...

So I decided to give posting a CL ad a shot. Needless to say, it worked out pretty well for me. Currently working out a deal for the following: 4 Powerbook 2400c (!) (1 working - 3 dead with the common fuse problem) 2 Powerbook 3400c (1 working) 2 Powerbook 190 (unknown working cond) 1...

Recapping both of my power supplies fixed this problem! I found it a bit easier to crack open the supply by shoving a flathead screwdriver in the crack of the case between the power cord and ridge, came out a bit more cleanly.

Oh shoot that's something I should have thought of, thanks! I'm trying to crack open one of the 2 supplies I have but I'm having trouble doing so - did you have any tips? -J

Hi,  In the middle of fixing two Powerbook 100s and I ran into a weird problem that one has... Recapped the LCD/mainboard of one PB 100 completely and it seems to work fine with good LCD output (dead HD of course) but whenever I try to boot from a floppy it seeks once fine and then the display...

Ahh I see now that you did an atx conversion on a IIci. Sorry, you should be fine. I think it should work as long as you have +5V +12V and -5V.

The amount of hacking that you'd have to do to get an ATX power supply is not worth potentially ruining your LC board, imo. Just recap your PSU, even if it has not failed yet, there's a good chance it will in the future. It's easier than recapping the LC board too!

You are better off recapping your LC power supply, especially if it's a TDK one. I've have had to recap about 5+ TDK ones when they died.

That means the power supply needs to be recapped. It's a fairly simple operation (you only need to replace one capacitor) but getting the PSU open is a pain in the ass, you need a drill bit to drill out a few small rivets. http://lowendmac.com/2016/the-duo-dock-tick-of-death/ And yeah it's a...
