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?????
No. It is, however, a particular problem with the 5300, but I've seen more recent powerbooks take astonishing punishment and keep running.
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.
28.8 is a slow modem, but, then the 5300, for a variety of reasons, isn't exactly, err, *optimal* in it's performance, shall we say? ;-) But a faster modem will help.
