Can't view the whole video now because of a slow connection, but wow! That's some analog horror type stuff right there! Well and truly cursed. Is the PSU known good? Darn thing sounds like a broken megaphone. |

Darn thing sounds like a broken megaphone. Well, found a problem.. not sure if it silly will fix it lol.. well.. replaced those from a parts board and she is working 100%.. so have another nice pb170.. funny thing.. i took the battery out if this a put in my pb 180. About an hour later I tried to turn it on, no go.. pulled battery and it booted, but bottom of computer very hot.. so probably what happened to this 170 |

wow, that got hot! Glad you got it solved. The 100 series PowerBook logic boards are some of the best Apple ever made. |

So, thought i fixed it. But hard drive making weird noises at times when trying to open something, and when I insert floppy it never mounts and then screen gets funny like having power issues?? Think board is beyond help.

Sweet! Lol, yeah I thought drive was good. Was from a duo 230, not that that matters. Glad it works fine. No tunnel now even after an hour, so yay🙂 just need a keyboard so i can get keyboard and mouse working properly. |
