Thanks I have tried all that already multiple times. And nothing seems to have changed.

Hi thanks for the response, the reason for why it is urgent is that my parents have given me a time frame in which I am to do what I can to it, otherwise I have to pass it on. That is why there is a sense of urgency. Normally yes I would take a break from these things and everything like that...

I have a powerbook 170 recently, and thought that it might be a fun thing to work on and restore. But after a week straight of cleaning and plastic repairs, I have finally gotten it to the point of which I am able to test it out and see what I am working with. Now once I got it all set up I...

Can someone please get back to me asap, it is kinda urgent that this is sorted out. This is where I am currently at with the powerbook 170. The speaker is also squealing like crazy, along with the power button not working. I am not sure what is going on, and how I can fix it? Can someone...

I also have a few other details that I would like answered if possible before I go for it and start baking up some yummy LCD. 😋

Ok thank you. In regards to the LCD though, should I also add some weight on top or does it not need it?

Could you please give me the details on what your setup was for the baking session to be successful? I have listed the details that I am looking for in my previous comment. I would like to know this information as soon as possible because I don't want to risk breaking the panel, and I am needing...

Oh my goodness thank you this is exactly what I was wanting to know. Thank you, and if I were to use an apple airport express extender, would I be able to remotely turn it on and off, using the airport utility for either ios or Mac os x? If not that is fine I will just need to fine a way to...

Thank you all for your help, I have ended up using a combination of plastic welding, super glue and baking soda, and straight super glue to fix the broken broken parts, and replace any bits that were missing. My next question is about what type of procedure and setup is best used for the LCD...

Ok again thank you for the new lot of information. But it still doesn't answer the main thing I was asking. I have some DS LITE consoles (and a few other devices) that don't support WPA security, but they do support WEP security. I am wanting to know if I can use a wifi extender, that supports...

Thanks for the heads up, but I am already aware of the security risks, and I wouldn't be having the WEP connection on all the time. But if you go back and read what it was that I asking I am wanting to know if using a wifi extender of some sort would allow me to set the wifi extender to use WEP...

Hi all, I am currently looking at getting an old Apple Airport Express extender, and I was wondering if I would be able to connect it to my router (an Optus provided NBN router, so in other words it is not an Apple branded router) via wifi (it is ok if I have to use an ethernet cable, but wifi...

Hey so my powerbook 170 just arrived today, and I was wondering if anyone could confirm or deny if super glue will work on broken plastics.

How would I best go about removing the screen if the screw posts do happen to break off.

Thanks for that I had a feeling that they would be brittle, but I was just hoping that they weren't so brittle that I would easily just put my fingers through it when I go to pick it up (like a toshiba satellite that I had/have). How hard would you say it is to disassemble it in order to clean...

Ok so I just thought that, aren't these vintage powerbook riddled with brittle plastics? Or are the powerbook 1xx series better that the ones that are really bad? I am just asking because I don't want to go ahead and try taking it apart and then just have it practically crumble in my hands. Is...

Yeah I was wanting to know the same thing.

Ok so if the glass swap won't work, can I ask what about the other theoretical idea I had, about the separation of the layers and replacing the adhesive. Would that be a feasible possibility. 🤔

To be clear I wasn't asking someone else to pay for the item to then test it out for me, that is why I said "but if someone else can either confirm or deny this theory, that would be great". I fully understand that it is a lot of money, and that is why I asked what I did, I was hoping that...

Hello all, I hope that I am not breaking any rules with posting this responce here, but I am new to this scene (I registered yesterday), but I was reading through this thread after I got myself a Powerbook 170 with what appears to be really bad Tunnel vision, and I was thinking would why has no...
