I'll soon have a PB G4/400 that have a fully functional fan, but it won't spin up in time, sitting quiet for most of the time. Therefore the machine gets quite hot. Anyone know how to make it spin up sooner? Reset the motherboard/ detectors somehow? My first thought though, was to replace the fan

Pismo pram battery, DIY ?

Hey there ! I was wondering if it could be possible to construct an homemade Pram battery for my (still) dead powerbook (but working on it ...). It has been sitting on a shelf for almost 2 years, not connected and no battery in the bay, so it must be pretty dead now. I looked on the net and
