PowerBook Hacks and Other Foolishness

bezels.jpgMacDan has posted a number of Macintosh related hacks, help and other foolishness. Some of my favorite PowerBook-related pages from MacDan:

- Fried chip in a DVI TiBook - Blank white LCD on a 667 DVI 'Book, toasted chip and a solution.
- TiBook display take-apart, re-assembly and various other related info - TiBooks break LCDs, hinges, how to get the dang things apart so's you can fix 'em.
- PowerBook Video Display Subsystems - from Wallstreet to Ivory
- Sandblaster! - Fun with a sandblaster
- PowerBook Wallstreet hinges - Yet another display hinge repair solution
- PowerBook Expansion Bay Module upgrades and hacks - opticals, HDs, etc.
PowerBook 5300 power jack replacement - Where I replace the crappy original power connector with a regular-style PowerBook power connector. Hey, whaddya know?!?! It works great! :-)

Nice weekend reading for the geek in you. That last 5300 article was a flashback to 1995 when I started the PowerPage because of a defective Global Village modem in my PowerBook 5300. Stay tuned for more on our tenth anniversary in the coming weeks. -Ed
