Well now that things have been running smoothly for a few weeks with the Powerbook 5300cs, I hope to find a few answers that weren't in the manual. I guess I'll just number them to make things easier for any of you who can help out. All responses are very much appreciated.
1) Generally, how long should a Nimh batter last when in use? I am finding that I get just about 2 hours use and then it gives me the 10 second warning. Unfortunately not even able to save a document or quit an app, it actually shuts down in about one-half second. Not enough time to do a thing. It is a 1995 Apple batt so it could just be old. Is there a way to recondition the NiMH battery? I thought I read something somewhere along the way but for the life of me, I can't find it. If not, are ebay & similar batteries labeled "new' trustworthy being they could also be a 7 year old battery that has simply never been used? Is there a 'best' type to watch for? 2) How warm should the underside of the pbook be when computer is being used? Sometimes it seems pretty warm coming from the location of the drive. Warm as in a little too warm to leave on lap all the time. 3) The Pbook came with a SCSI adapter G2000VU On/Off SCSI Dock. No paperwork however. Doubtful but does anybody know if this model can be plugged into back of p-book (while set to off) while the pbook is on? 4) Can someone guide me to the name of the little app that allows you to switch between the heavy and light text selector? I switched it to heavy at some point during the major install and now I think I may have accidentally deleted the feature that did it and so can't reverse it. For the life of me I can't remember the name of it either so can't find it in a search. Tried all my obvious control panels but not there. Thanks for the help.
