    Urgent help needed for my Powerbook 170!!!

    Ok so this is what the screen on the parts machine looks like. The powerbook seems to be trying to power up. It chimes and lights up the screen, but I can't tell if I am missing something else, the apple logo doesn't show up. The screen is looking really good. The rubber like substance is...

    Toshiba Libretto 50CT Charging Behavior

    No problem. I was happy that I could help. I also wanted to make it clear that the device will work if the charger is plugged into the laptop, but it just won't charge it while you are using the device. That is the only thing to be aware of.

    Toshiba Libretto 50CT Charging Behavior

    Hi so regarding the battery not charging while the device is in use, mine also doesn't appear to charge when in use either, so it seems as though it is normal. Thank you so much I have not found anything that really gave the information or the help I was needing. Thank you so much.

    Thanks I will let you all know how everything works out. Also I want you to know that you don't have to be sorry for anything. You were direct and didn't Sugar coat the issue, and you told me how I could improve, strangely enough that is exactly how I prefer to have people give their feed back...

    Urgent help needed for my Powerbook 170!!!

    Thanks for the advice mate. Sorry about always seeming to be in a hurry. I have both ASD and ADHD, so I can get quite hung up on certain things very easily, and also I don't really have the greatest understanding of social interactions. Sorry about any negative feelings I might have caused you...

    Urgent help needed for my Powerbook 170!!!

    So you think that it is still a good opportunity? Because it also looks like the screen is good and it would be good to have a spare screen incase mine breaks or something like that. Same goes for other components. And also I have been having a bit of trouble with my screen bezel reassembly and...

    Toshiba Libretto 50CT Charging Behavior

    Hi I am new to this side of the forums, and I saw your post and thought I would pitch in and try to answer your question. From my experience, I don't exactly think that is normal behaviour, unless you have it set to behave like that in software. I will check and post an update in a few minutes...

    Urgent help needed for my Powerbook 170!!!

    Ok thanks mate, I will see how things go. If I don't mind me asking though, would it be worthwhile getting another Powerbook 170? The description says it is for parts not working, but the story is that it was working perfectly, until it fell off of a shelf and landed on hard wood flooring. It...

    I will have to give it another watch, but I am not sure if he covers all the things that I was wanting to know, but I will definitely give it a watch again. Thank you. I will post an update on the situation with the laptop itself once I have fixed the misaligned screw post. :)
