The solar option won't work for me, but if there is a good re-cell service available for the 1400 batteries, I'd be interested in that. I had looked into it a bit online but the cost was fairly high - in the $70 to $90 range. I have two newer batteries for the 1400 that work "OK" - maker is VST, bought these from Wegener a few years back. Other than that, I just use the 1400s on wall power most of the time.

Solar Bookcover for PB 1400
- Thread starter p8712
- Start date
Finally, a new conquest! Ebay has provided me with a 1400 for the panel. It's a 1400c, with a sonnet 333 G3, 64 megs of ram, 1 gig hard drive, 8x CD/floppy. PERFECT 10/10 condition, not a chip, scratch, or scuff to be found. Seriously, you'd think it was 1997. The seller told me it had been sitting in storage for a long time. Of course, the only issue is a dead main battery. Time to look into recelling!
I'll post pics once I figure out how...

Yes, please! Wow, I'm glad you got a 1400, having that rare a powering source - you really need to get it going! Will be interested to see the photos...
Polycrystaline cells! Those ought to last for decades.
Very cool! I did not realize that it sticks out like that - but I guess it has to be like that for the wiring, etc. behind the solar cells. Love the color. Definitely a conversation starter!
Jealous! I don't know how it slipped by me as I have been solid cruising eBay for exactly that sort of PB1400c, but congrats!

Beautiful! 8-o
So whatever happened with this? I've decided my pimped 1400 is not fully pimped without a SolarCover.
