Schematics for PowerBook G3
Posted by: mitchW on 2024-08-20 14:37:55
I am interested if anyone has managed to obtain the schematics (or perhaps a boardview) for G3 series of PowerBooks.
I repaired lots of MacBooks and other Apple and non-Apple hardware in the last 10 years or so, and I do have every schematic for every Apple laptop from the PowerBook G4 on.

As I was cleaning out the closet, I found one PB G3 Wallstreet and one G3 Pismo that both have defective logic boards. Those were put in storage before I started doing board-level electronics repairs...
If I remember correctly, both of them have logic board issues, I think there was one burned component near the charge port on one of them.

Anyways, I would like to repair those, but without any schematics, any chance of repairs are slim

Which board logic issue?
Where did you find G4 schematics?

Unfortunately the schematics for the G3 PowerBooks aren’t available anywhere.

I’ve got the G4 schematics on my website: https://macdat.net/repair/apple_schematics.html
