Hi everyone, new to this list. I bought a PB 5300 off of ebay a month ago. (24/500/256 colors) No battery, but power supply. Had to have power connector on back fixed, as connection broke loose from solder. The repair place said this is quite common with powerbooks, especially the new ones. Is it????? Anyway, ever since I have had it, it will start up if there there is no power stored up in the internal battery. But I don't get this as it won't hold the correct date, unless it has been on awhile and I restart it right away. And anyway again, if some power has been stored up and then turned off for awhile, it will not restart, but I get a green glow light in the moniter lid, and until that completely goes out, it will not start up. I also bought a 28.8 megahertz pc modem and it works. But what a dog. Don't know if it's the 5300 or the pc modem. It takes forever to display web pages, I might as well go out watch the grass grow, may be faster. It connects at 28.8, but man what a slooooooow machine or modem. Any suggestions anyone?
