I have a 165c and 180, both with bad interconnect cables (the short, grey ribbon connecting bottom and top near the rear). They both have vertical lines/deformations on screen, and the 180 also has some non-responsive keys and doesn't chime. Both systems have displayed what I think are typical...

I have a 1400c/166 which has had a very hard life. It actually runs really well, but was badly cracked in the usual places above the hinges on the back panel and I have left it opened on a shelf thinking this would reduce the risk of further damage while I tried to find out how best to repair...

It's a long shot I know, one of the least popular word processors, long gone and little lamented, but after messing with a few alternatives such as Word 5 and 6, and WordPerfect 3.5e, I've largely settled on MacWrite Pro (1.5.3) as my preferred app. This is mostly because it's actually fairly...

OK, absent a working solution to reading an install CD on my G3/266, I've decided that I need to try and backup the existing HD, to copy that back to a replacement. USB is the obvious, and it has 3 PCI slots of course. So, next question is, does anyone know of a PCI USB card (don't mind how...

I have a Pismo which has been running reasonably well, but last was checked a year or so ago. Now, when attempting to start it up, it generally remains dead, with no chime, power light etc. However, occasionally, it comes up with a lit screen, which looks like this: The 1-inch+ strip down the...

I have a DB25 v1 - I don't know the exact product because it's no longer on the site to look it up, but it predates the v2. Anyway, it works perfectly with my Performa 630CD, including allowing me to install Mac OS 7.1 on a card in it that was created by Disk Jockey. The 630 has even been...

Thought I'd best move my troubleshooting to this area rather than Finds/Conquests - it's not feeling quite like a conquest at the moment! Aside from it missing the floppy drive entirely, I've been trying to perform a clean install of MacOS 9.2.2. I downloaded the iso from the Garden on a G4...

I hadn't even seen one of these since 1999 when I set one up for a senior faculty manager, so spotting this one on eBay, 'tested' but with no HD, for $40 seemed worth a go - if nothing else, I have a couple of spare IDE drives, and would probably fit an IDE-CF replacement anyway if the computer...

This isn't a problem, but a more philosophical question I guess. I have a BlueSCSI v2 for powerbooks (thanks @Androda), and I plan to use it for my 170 - a favorite of mine, which I use frequently. Problem is, the 170 works perfectly as it is, and I've never used a BlueSCSI v2 before, and not...

Or possibly not! I joined a couple of weeks back, just for somewhere different, and I see a lot of familiar names from 68kmla and elsewhere. I'm an escapee from there, and have a small collection of Macs - mostly 68k models, but some G3 and G4, and mostly PowerBooks. I'm not a collector so...
