Re: 5300 saga
If there is nothing on the built in screen, I'd check the video cable between the logic board and the screen, an extremely common cause of problems on a 5300/190 That sounds like useful info, now my question is... How do I tell if the video cable is bad, and is it replaceable if it is bad? It doesn't seem visably damaged. Open the screen and check the cable completely for cracks and nicks etc., check it is fitted correctly at both ends. Swap in a known good screen ?

Re: 3400, browser, JS and no PayPal - confused!
I'm wondering if I somehow got a different version of iCab, even tho it shows up as 2.9.8. I can get into PayPal and do everything including paying and checking my history, but I don't get that browser not supported message others are seeing on Gmail, on both my PPC'd 520c and my 5300c.

Re: M1906 Battery
Has anyone ever opened a M1906 and care to explain how it is done? Most PB batteries are heat fused. Blackbird batteries are complicated by having two compartments: 1) battery proper, and 2) battery controls. The smarts are in the control section, which is usually accessible by prying off the side, which is not heat fused. The usual drill for separating the remaining halves is a very thin Zona razor saw, penetrating the housing only far enough to achieve separation, not far enough to sever the film-type power connections. Once re-celled, the halves may be held together by transparent packing tape, the non-reinforced type. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: 3400, browser, JS and no PayPal - confused!
I posted almost the same question on the iMac list a month or so ago. The answer to your question is all browser related. I downloaded probably every conceiveable browser for my machine (iMac G3 running OS 9.2.2). After a considerable amount of trial and error I found the best browser that works the best with Ebay and Paypal is Mozilla 1.2.1. http://www.mozilla.org/releases/old-releases-1.1-1.4rc3.html (The newer version of Mozilla won't upload pics to Ebay when your selling something). The only problems I have found with this version is it quits for no reason or quits when you go to the bookmark menu. This doesn't always happen but when it does a restart of the mac usually clears it up. If your interested I posted this question a while back on the 'fritter. You can read it here: http://www.applefritter.com/node/view/3573 MaxTek Message-Id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sun, 3 Oct 2004 20:58:48 +0100 From: VidaVerde [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: 3400, browser, JS and no PayPal - confused! Hello, all, I'm hoping your joint expertise can puzzle this one out. Our 3400's have always been hideously slow - to the point of choking - on some websites such as ebay. In particular, https seems to kill things. In the end I found that using iCab turning off JS made ebay bearable. But now, all of a sudden, I can't pay for anything with PayPal. I'm not aware of any changes that I've made , but its been a few months since I last tried. Any one else got this problem or is it just me? What happens is that it fails at the last 'review and confirm' screen - I click pay and it returns me to the same screen , or back to the start of the payment process in Ebay. Doesn't make any difference whether I start from ebay or paypal to do this. Looks like a JS problem? Except that its still no good even with JS on. Now I'm not sure if its either a problem with my particular machine, or all old macs/browsers. I have tried IE 5 and Communcator 4.7 with the same effect. Any ideas anyone? 9.2.1 MRJ 2.2.5 iCab 2.98 If anyone had a solution it would be great, I'm seriously considering getting a newer machine simply so I can browse the web properly, if this can't be fixed.

It's the apps *behavior* that determines how much real memory it holds. When you launch an app, space for the full preferred size is made in the VM allocation table. And that's what you see in About This Macintosh. In tools such a Memory Mapper, you'll see that for Moz, more than 50% of that allocation doesn't exist in real memory yet[*]! And after using Moz for a while, with other apps being used also (vying for memory), that real allocation is actually reduced (unless you go hog wild like I do - creating a dozen+ tabs in each of 6 or so windows)! Now let's look at iCab. It obtains a (relatively) tiny memory allocation at the initial launch. Then it does all its work in app system temporary memory! IOW, it grows dynamically! Does this mean it's using less memory? Heck no! It's actually more piggy than Moz! It just grabs the memory out of a different basket (pool). [*] No, this doesn't mean you're swapping either! The app is given the space in the VM map but nothing is associated with that space yet - neither real memory nor swap space. In the case of Moz, most of that will be paged-in directly from the shared libraries... Kindof a way of doing a delayed/partial launch.

Re: Cable Modem on a 3400?

Versions of the Mac OS prior to 9.1 have dhcp lease retention difficulties across sleeps. Then they fail to renew the lease when the computer wakes up. So sometimes a reboot is required... I was wondering if this might have had something to do with it. Also please define no longer access the internet. That's a vague term that doesn't tell us if you forgot to open the garage door or if there's a massive pothole just beyond your driveway. :) Are you saying your web browser gives you some error?

Unable to translate domain names to IP addresses? etc Umm I don't have detailed diagnostics on why it was unable to connect, I do know that Eudora threw a domain name error. Also that iCab couldn't access web pages. Adelphia, the Cable company in my area, said that my ethernet had gone out on the 3400c. I would like to know if someone could tell me how to find out if this is true or not. A hardware failure is always possible, I guess. But there are a lot of software causes that should be investigated first. A quick test... Plug the PowerBook into the cable modem. Power-cycle the modem. After it has sync'd to the cable system (all lights solid green), boot the PowerBook. Now turn on AppleTalk over that ethernet interface. AppleTalk is very picky. If the hardware doesn't sense (and report) all the proper continuity signals, AppleTalk will fail to initialize. I am using Adelphia's Cable Modem with my Beige G3 and it is working fine. For how many computers (IP addresses) is your account authorized? If only one, then you'll need to power-cycle the modem each time you switch between computers. ...Cable modems are told by the cable company how many devices (computers) to talk to. They remember those devices by tracking their ethernet (MAC) addresses. The only way to make the modem forget them is to power-cycle it -- physically unplug it and leave it unpowered for at least 30 seconds. - Dan. -- I am going to try again after I get some more ethernet wire.
