Would it be worthwhile recapping the PSU? Or it pretty much karcked it?

Yes at least two point on the CPU board seem to get hot, the two chips in the red circle. I have done a bit of adjustment and I have gotten it to a point where I am able to get a solid 7.7v, but when I plug it in I can often get it dropping down to as low as 1.1v.

Thank you, I am pretty sure that it is working I might recap the psu as a precautionary measure.

Also if worse comes to worse, would I be able to use a powerbook 140 motherboard with the powerbook 170 CPU board?

Thanks for the advice, could you please point out which one is the interconnect board?

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...
