Hi,
I'm a refugee from quadlist, just learning about powerbooks, with a
couple of 5300s,come and gone, and a duo 250 I gave to my son and am going
to do the maintenance on it.
Sticky, somewhat unreliable keys! Can I remove it and clean it, or
am I going to have to replace it? Seems like replacement cost is at least
US$50 which is about 50% of what I paid for it.
Also, how can I remove the FPU from a dock? It is set in a socket
with pins (?) surrounding it on four sides.
