Hi, Thanks for the info. I am a bit confused. Not only do I have the whistling sound when the adapter is pushed into the jack , but my additional 300 plus ram is not showing up in the system profiler. It shows up under about acomputer, but that is it. I have been getting memory problems for awhile and wasn't aware that the computer wasn't acknowledging all of the ram. It stops whistling if I hold the plug and push it into the jack tighter. I am using a brick. I have a backup yo yo but am not too thrilled with it. THe last two have sparked on just one use.
I can't record to a cd firewire backup. I get errors or else it hangs during finishing session. I can get backup to my swappable zip drive though. Disk first aid fixed a volume error the other night. I am not sure where to go with all of this. At first I htought it was the drive, now it looks like it could be adapter or both and why the trouble with the firewire? A mac guy will charge 50 to come to my house (am disabled and can't drive), 85 per hour for labor, and 200 for a new Toshiba drive. I have heard the ibm travelstars are better and cheaper. Not sure how much I should spend on this if the money could go toward a newer model. Am now very confused about whether the computer has one problem or multiple problems. Thanks so much for any advice. Lynn -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
