PowerBook 190cs!!
Posted by: Arths on 2011-03-08 09:21:51
Heya 🙂

Just bought a PowerBook 190cs, problem is that I don't have the AC adapter and the battery has leaked xx(

I opened it and didn't find anything broken. Is there a way to test it ?

Thanks 😱)

Nice find. They use a specific adapter so you will need to find the adapter on ebay or LEM.

The 5300 also sues the same adapter but no other model does.

Thanks 🙂

I found someone who sells a 45W PowerBook power adapter. Seems to be fine, ref is M3037. 😉

And, with what should I clean the battery slot/connector :?:

Whenever you get your adapter, be careful of the port. I used one on my lap since it's a laptop..and the port broke quickly. Better use it on a desk!

Hey just bought a SanDisk PCMCIA 4-in-1 reader to transfer files between my Mhack and the PowerBook 😱)

Stay tuned :beige:
