Powerbook 165

[bibilit]

Hi,

Just scored today a complete PWB 165 (including Targus carrying bag, and battery case) all for the total amount of 5 € (around 7 $)

In working order (System 7.1) but with a faulty screen (contrast trouble) not a big deal.

This is a car boot / trunck sale, hence the price.

As a bonus, found in the case, a wireless Belkin F5d6020f card

TK, how many and what type of cap? I've got a 140 with the same problem and would love to get it back up again.

Caps in the display or inverter board ?

I removed the inverter board yesterday, clean it a bit and used a soldering iron to re flow some welds.

Now is far better, i have a better display, but after 15 minutes i have got a very white screen with few contrast.
