  1. 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

    I remember QUB buying these for our computer lab in the late 80s, and some of the lecturers had them in their offices. We still used them as terminals to access the mainframes, but I’m pretty sure we could compile some code (Pascal?) on the Macs too.
