603 will run OS X with XPostFacto. That only goes for PCI based systems though, so no OS X on a PowerBook 1400 or a Performa 6200CD.

I guess this means that I can attempt to install OS X on my PowerBook 3400c. It has 48MB.

My LTE Lite 4/25E which I baked regressed last I had checked. Maybe I'll do another test today. My oven isn't very precise so I think the temperature may have been a little too low. I saw improvement after like 4-6 hours of baking, but not much.

It jumps from something to 100%, and similarly will drop from some % to 0 when discharging. I just don’t know why I’d be having the same problem with both batteries - I don’t remember the exact temp when it jumps to 100, but I don’t think it was too warm.

This is the 15V 1A supply that you (or someone) recommended for VBATT.

Very weird then how these both do about 40 minutes each. I have no clue what’s up with that. The first pack has no errors in the memory, second one has a single uncorrectable error but still works seemingly as expected (aside from the low runtime)

I finally built a second battery tonight with the mystery EMM I got from EvieSigma at the VCF Swap Meet nearly a year ago. It works! The usual assortment of tools complain of an uncorrectable error in the EPROM, but it charges and discharges just fine. The only problem - it lasts exactly as...

Not so much anymore, often the cap goo destroys the bottom row driver’s ribbon cable. In that case you’d still see the upper half of the screen. If you’re seeing nothing, chances are it’s that missing voltage if the rest of the computer seems to work.

Well, it’s still the row driver, just half of it. Bad line somewhere. If you're lucky, maybe there's a bad trace that isn't inside the ribbon. Take a close up photo of that bottom ribbon and look for any black spots (corrosion).

The row driver has either failed, or the traces inside that ribbon cable have been corroded by the leaking capacitors. This bottom row going out on PB100 screens is now very common due to the corrosion, and unfortunately there really isn't a way to fix it.

I didn't remove any parts, although in my case the clips for the bottom drive bezel were already broken when I received the unit.

This is how I got my 5400 home from VCF.

Probably not if it was shipped CRT facing down.

Wooden crate with a specialized freight shipping service would probably be the only way to (mostly) guarantee that it would arrive with no damage. I agree that practically speaking, local pickup is the only way - that’s how I got my 5400.

It’s not glued shut, it’s ultrasonically welded. So that won’t work unfortunately.

My blueberry came with it missing, was ripped off. That board worked but it wouldn’t POST unless it was a cold boot. I’d have to unplug the power cable for like 15 seconds and then it would be fine. More recently it’s developed another problem, hard to say if any of this was related to the...

A recap might get it working again. There's one hidden screw under the label, then you can put the brick into a vice and bust it open. Mine opened fairly cleanly.

Actually only sold a couple minutes ago (time zones), I checked the listing at 2:49 EST (it's 3:05 EST now) and it was still up. Sold in the next 5 minutes after that. In case whoever bought it doesn't end up posting anything about it, I saved the listing photos...
