AHA! It now appears that the person who gave it to me tried to plug in a 20v power supply. Not GOOD! Is there a fuse in a Powerbook 170?
THANKS! Scott Earl - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - >>Hi All! A friend gave me a Powerbook 170 that won't go. I charged up and recycled the battery with a conditioner and it holds a charge, but the Mac doesn't do ANYTHING when I press the start button. There is no hard drive, but I don't think it would need one just to bring up the screen and ask for a disk. I don't have a power supply. The unit is in remarkable appearance condition, but that doesn't help. Should I just sell it on eBay for parts? THANKS! Scott Earl -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
