Q: dead hard drive on Powerbook 100?
I think my Powerbook 100, which I never use but keep out of sentiment, may finally be dead. Symptoms: I can't get it to start up and produce a smiley face except using a startup disk in the external floppy drive. There is no hard drive icon on the desktop. If I try to install the software from the external disk, it doesn't recognize the existence of any other disk onto which to install.
I've tried the reset/interrupt button trick, to no avail.
I have not replaced the little battery--is there any point in doing that?
And I can't find the original instruction book except for the quick-start version.
Any ideas? Thanks!
