So, this is a Pismo #powerbookg3. It’s in about 2,198 (not really) pieces in this photo. I know the power jacks on these things to be flaky as they age, and I noticed that power was not consistent. So, I took the whole thing apart and checked the power jack… and soon discovered it was the POWER CORD that was the problem. 😮💨
Moral of the story, check your power cords first. #computer #computerrepair #oldcomputer #oldmac #powerpc #powerpcmac #vintageapple #retroapple #retro #retrocomputing
Fun fact: Peter Hoddie, one of the architects of QuickTime, was a prolific TI 99/4A programmer in a past life. More about both things:
