If you're handy with screwdriver, you could just get another 190cs for about $25-$50 on eBay and swap the hard drive. But if you don't want to keep that 190cs and not deal with it, you can sell it for maybe $10-$25 as "part" machine. FWIW there are new PRAM batteries sold separately but that's about $20. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brandy Bender" <brandybndr at hotmail.com> To: "Duo/2400 List" <DuoList at lists.themacintoshguy.com> Sent: Friday, February 07, 2003 5:42 PM Subject: [Duo2400] 190cs > Hello Listies > > Need some advice on something other than a DUO. > > My brother in law brought over a friends 190cs. > Problems are bad pram battery, lower half of screen has evenly spaced > vertical thin black lines (Cable maybe?) > Hard drive needs to be formatted and system re-installed currently running > system 7.5.3. > > What would be the cost to fix the problems?
