Re: Wallstreet questions
ever made for this machine? Second, can the lower RAM chip be replace, if so how is this done? Hi, yes, the lower RAM card can be replaced. You have to remove the processor board. Before you begin, remove the following: AC adapter Expansion bay modules Keyboard Heat sink Hard drive 1 Position a nylon tool under the center of the right side of the board and lift up to release it. 2 Pull the microprocessor board to the right. Replacement Note: Align the tabs on the left side of the board with the slots on the top case stiffener, then press down firmly on the right side of the board to seat the connector. Replacement Caution: The microprocessor board can be partially inserted and the computer will still function. However, over time, heat will cause the microprocessor board to lose contact and can cause the system to have intermittent problems such as no booting. Therefore, check proper installation by pressing on the microprocessor board connector a second time to make sure the board is fully seated.

Re: wallstreet questions
Shawn, I have worked on a couple of WS, both I and II. I would suggest avoiding OS X.2 altogether. I had sleep and monitor issues on both machines that were not resolved until I upgraded to Panther installed using XPostFacto 3. IIRC, there were others on the list had similar issues. If you want OS X, go to Panther rather than Jaguar.

Re: wallstreet questions
I would second this advice. Those old 233MHz processors don't cut it. Get the second generation processors. I was informed by one on this list that second generation processors would work on the first generation machines, not vice versa. If you were to seek an upgrade path to G4dom, this would allow you that option later down the road.

Wallstreet Questions
Hello all. I am working to get my new used Wallstreet II into shape. I would like to thank all that answered my other questions. Got a new one for you. Can you recommend any brand (or company) for main battery? I tried some from EBC Battery company in FL for a PB 1400 and they did not last a year. The most I common have found seems to be from two mfg, BTI and something called Hi Power. Doing a Google search shows that the same part numbers sell for any where between $82.00 and $189.00. Both appeare to be made in China. I would be intrested in comments as to should I try to purachase a new Apple brand battery, if its still available as a service part. I dont need the 4 lights on the side, do I?? The other battery I have found is from OtherWorld computing. They have a high power battery at 4500wh for $140. Comments?? Would it be posable to rebuild the existing battery? I have seen your comments about doing a reset in open firmware, but how would you do this under OS9? Thanks for all your help.

Re: Wallstreet Questions
Hi Ken and all. I would have to suggest that you avoid BTI batteries. I have found that their batteries don't provide the run time that Apple batteries do, and they certainly do not accurately report their remaining charge! From 4 hrs remaining to 1:30 in an hour, then to 4 min in a flash on my Lombard and about the same in Clamshell iBooks. Also, they do not seem to last a year, regardless of use. They all seem to die the same way in that they just are not recognized by the machine or that they refuse to charge. Luckily the warranty is 1 year, however BTI's return policy is rather interesting in that you must FAX them the original invoice in your name and a cover letter to receive an RMA and instructions on shipping them the defective product. They will then inspect and repair/replace the battery at their discretion and return it to you. I've been lucky in that the local dealers are willing to order in a battery (takes about a week) and then exchange it. 3 iBook batteries have died under warranty and now the one for my Lombard is dead, just inside the 1 year period... If the warranty isn't approved for my battery, I'm going to order a high capacity battery from OWC. While it is great that BTI appears to be good at honoring their warranty, and that their dealers (that I've dealt with) are willing to do the leg work for the customers, it is a bother to know that I'll be without a battery for a couple of weeks every year, would have to buy another battery to remain truly mobile during that period, and that I should actually have that second BTI battery to get a decent run time. That is how I've seen it anyways... [;^) HTH Dave On 10-Jun-04, at 16:02, Kenneth Vann wrote: The most I common have found seems to be from two mfg, BTI and something called Hi Power.
