Repairing a 1990s Apple Macintosh PowerBook 160, 165 or 180 Laptop - Part 1

Описание: The Macintosh PowerBook 160, 165 and 180 are Apple laptops from the 1990s. They evolved from Apple's first true laptop, the highly successful PowerBook 100. They're very interesting machines if you can get your hands on one. But time is beginning to take its toll on these machines and there are multiple issues you will face if you hope to restore one.

In this video, I use my PowerBook 165 to go through the common points of failure that someone repairing a PowerBook 160, 165 or 180 would likely face.

As sometimes happens, a repair doesn't go as planned. That's why there's going to be a part 2.
