Last year, I finally got my absolute holy grail PowerBook - a working 2400c! When I took it apart to clean it and upgrade it, I found the absolute carnage of an exploded PRAM battery. After cleaning it up and reassembling... it never booted again :(

Well, now I bought a second, also-broken PowerBook 2400c - from Japan! Can I combine these two into one working machine, and then upgrade the heck out of it with a G3 accelerator?

Let's find out!
