Anyway, the only problem with these powerbooks seems to be PB 160 with 160 monitor- second 1- the computer turns on
second 4-6 the display turns on without picture
second 10-14- the display turns off
solution: buy the monitor adapter and attatch an external monitor
i confirmed the system actually boots, because it 'bings' when the finder is loaded. FIXABLE! ||||Powerbook 150 with 150 monitor- backlight comes on, stays on....No hard drive , and im not sure the floppy works, so i cant be sure of anything. |||||Powerbook 150 with 145 monitor- CHIME!!! and then backlight comes on, stays on....No hard drive, and im not sure the floppy works, so i cant be sure of anything
|||||solution- buy IDE hds? get new LED-mobo connector? FIXABLE???? Powerbook 145 with 145 monitor- CHIME ....backlight....no hd, no floppy, so cant be sure
Powerbook 145 with 150 monitor- NOTHING
FIXABLE??? Thanks....if anyone has any spare pb parts or anything, post!!!! or, if anyone wants to buy em./........

TITO, get yourself an external SCSI drive and powerbook cable and do an install "for any macintosh" on it for your troubleshooting! use an old pc case and psu if you have to, that way you could even install a CD-ROM in the same box and your 68k experience would be a lot easier.jt

Opening up the powerbook and disconnecting the video cable from the mobo to the LCD panel should force it to make any external monitor the main one.~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit

Exactly. I remember a couple of years ago, a guy asked Australian MacWorld how to use an external monitor as the only monitor with a broken PB screen, so he could do his presentation before getting a new screen, and MW told him to go to this site which tells you how to pull the plug on the internal. -------------------------- Pizzabox LCs RULE!!!!!!!

no need. the 500 series and the 165 are completely different beasts, which use different video cables, in different places. If you want to do this, get the service manual off the hotline server, or ask me. quote:
