So was able to pick up a local powerbook 100. Couldn’t believe it was local and really nice shape and cheap!. No power, dead. Psu dead. I have two new power supplies, but still dead. I removed all old caps i had replacements on hand for (47uf, 10uf, 1uf etc) cleaned board really well, clean pads really well, recapped what i could, let dry. The display hasnt been recapped yet. Fired it up, she works🙂 my other powerbook 100 logic board gives me the black screen with its display, and the new one, but this new board works fine with both displays. So yay, that was a good pickup. Also had the ram upgrade in it. Came with floppy drive as well | Posted by: joshc on 2022-12-21 10:59:11
I do like these. Owned two so far but never had a working one. | Posted by: imactheknife on 2022-12-21 11:08:47

Why did it work and show a floppy icon, then now just black screen lit up.. has to be something easy | Posted by: 3lectr1cPPC on 2022-12-21 11:24:35
Will display the no contrast/black screen when the caps are dead. Likely one gave out, or another issue. | | 1 |
