first of all please excuse my english for i am from germany. my problem is as follows:
- bought a used 3400c wich won�t boot up - checked the pram-battery ->o.k. - resetted everything i could find to reset
case number one: -------------------------
if i use the cd-rom module i get the grey screen and the mouse pointer but nothing else.
the mousepointer won�t move correctly, only a little bit and then it snaps back to the corner.
this happens only when i�ve plugged the cd-rom module in and connected an external adb desktop-mouse ( i can use the external mouse or the trackpad simulteanously for moving the mousepointer this little bit ).
if i don�t plug in the external mouse i can�t move anything.
case number two: ------------------------
if i plug in the floppy-disk module i get this little disk-symbol with the flashing "?".
but now i can�t even move the mousepointer a little bit.
when i use the original mac os 8 disk tools 2 disk the powerbook seems to boot up correctly into the desktop with the help tools, but it�s useless without the ability to use my mouse or the trackpad.
the desktop shows me no harddisk-symbol, but the harddisk is fine ( tested in another notebook ).
hope someone of you has a few helpfull tips �cause i wouldn�t like to throw this lovely designed, still usefull piece of technic into the trash.
i forgot:
- powerbook 3400c - 200 MHz - 80 Mb RAM
thanks, christian
