galgot's "new" stuff
Posted by: galgot on 2015-09-06 02:18:35 Got some more stuff : A 5300c , non working, battery leaked all over inside, but the screen as now replaced the passive on my 5300cs, works fine. Plus it had a 24 Ram card : A 5300, non working… when I plug it ,it makes strange "Plok-plok-plok" noises… : A funny pc card box going into the floppy drive bay, think it fits in the 3400c too : A bunch of pc cards, ethernet adapter, modem and usb adapter. The Dayna Eth-adapter works fine, was able to find the drivers on on of the 5300 disk. The USB-Adapter, I've yet to find a driver for it, or does it really need one ? : 5300s documentation : And a carrying bag with the Apple : Was that bag made by Apple ? There is no brand mark except that Apple logo. I already had one similar bag that came with a PB170. They are well made and sized, fit exactly the size of PB1XX to 5300/190 series.

Posted by: finkmac on 2015-09-06 10:11:53 Nice. I always like getting boxed software 😀
Posted by: bibilit on 2015-09-06 23:05:23 great, cheap ?
Posted by: galgot on 2015-09-06 23:50:33 For 5300s and stuff, so so... The things where cheap ( 20 € ), but ended up paying too much postage ( 25€ ) . 30€ for the two Rhapsody boxes.
Posted by: bibilit on 2015-09-07 06:13:35 The USB-Adapter, I've yet to find a driver for it, or does it really need one ? : Won't work with the 5300, probably with a 3400 or newer laptop (the Wallstreet for instance) The small box for PCMCIA cards was sold with the 5300 when new, and works as a weight saver when removing the battery.
Posted by: galgot on 2015-09-07 06:29:33 yeah I know 5300 don't take Cardbus (cards with the yellow stripe). Wallstreets doesn't either. tried that one on a Wallstreet, it didn't work. Suppose it won't work on a 3400… Have yet to try on a Lombard or Pismo.
Posted by: TheWhiteFalcon on 2015-09-07 06:54:46 Wallstreet should absolutely take CardBus.
Posted by: galgot on 2015-09-07 07:06:32 Well… not mines 🙂 If we agree these card with yellow stripes are Cardbus, like the ones here : http://www.bixnet.com/pccaandex.html That USB-adapter doesn't work on my Wallstreet or PDQ, and I have a Wifi adapter like that with the yellow strip, doesn't work either. But maybe i'm mistaken...
Posted by: bibilit on 2015-09-07 23:05:36 tried that one on a Wallstreet, it didn't work. http://www.welovemacs.com/uh276.html Driver should go first to get it going.
Posted by: galgot on 2015-12-22 11:56:55 Well well… after a hiatus of few month finally got another. Was cheap (23 €) and it was missing in my collection : 300Mhz , 160 Mb of ram and a 3Gb hd. Boots fine on a 10.2.8, will try Rhapsody on it maybe. Only problems are , no battery, trackpad seem to be dead, and most important ! Missing Apple on the lid :-/ If anyone have a spare, I'm interested.
Posted by: CC_333 on 2015-12-22 12:50:25 I actually might, but I'm in the US. I don't know how to remove the apple, so I'd have to send you the whole top lid part, but it's light enough that shipping shouldn't be a problem. Let me know via PM if interested. c
Posted by: Macdrone on 2015-12-22 13:27:18 Trackpad is probably unpluged If they tried to pull the hard drive, pulling up the panel usually disconnects it and is hard to see.
Posted by: galgot on 2015-12-22 13:38:43 thanks, will check that. Wanted to change the hd anyway.
Posted by: bibilit on 2015-12-22 23:05:04 Good Job, Batteries are almost always flat anyway, btw only the battery is missing or the battery cover as well ? Missing Apple on the lid The Clam has a problem with those Apple inserts, i have got a few and apart one, all of them have a missing part (most of them only the leaf is missing) Wanted to change the hd anyway. A bit tricky, most of the laptop should be put to pieces.
Posted by: CC_333 on 2015-12-22 23:07:45 Changing the HD is somewhat involved, but it's fairly straight forward once you get some practice. c
Posted by: bibilit on 2015-12-23 00:45:18 Changing the HD is somewhat involved, but it's fairly straight forward once you get some practice. i agree, the first one is not easy, but once the first has been done, the following ones are straight forward.
Posted by: galgot on 2016-01-14 10:25:47 Got another one today. Lime : CC_333 do you have a spare Lime Apple leaf too ? 😛 Some missing screws, and had to stuck a bit of coffee swizzle stick in the power plug to make contact... And a broken screen. It boots fine up to the desktop... Think I could make a multicolored one with the pieces I have. Saw some on the bay at crazy prices. Dunno if it's a 366 or 466Mhz , it says M6411 model... Edit: It's a 466. Funny the hd is partitioned in five volumes !… go figure...
Posted by: CC_333 on 2016-01-14 16:54:47 No spare Lime parts, sorry 🙁 <brag mode> I do have a very nice Lime, though! I mean, the thing's practically like new!! </brag mode> I think your best bet would be to wait for another decently-priced Lime clamshell to pop up, and hope that one has a good LCD and intact leaf. Incidentally, I'm still waiting for a graphite leaf (one of mine is missing the leaf also), so if you ever find one, let me know! c
Posted by: raoulduke on 2016-01-14 17:00:41 Hey the plok-plok noises on your 5300 are from the power [distribution] board, almost certainly. 3400s might take cardbus; what's the card in question? and we'd need to know a little more about your 3400c, and maybe see its motherboard.
