Re: Making choices

Wallstreet s-video port
My daughter did a nice little PowerPoint presentation on her iBook for my other daughter who is coming home from college. I thought it would be neat to show it on tv.

Pismo DVD/CD failure (LG-8080B)
I am sending my Pismo in for repairs for the third time because of the DVD drive or battery failing. This time they showed some concern about it being repaired multiple times. Is there anyone out there who has a success story where the DVD failed (the LG kind) and was repaired/replaced by apple and hasn't failed again? Perhaps replaced with a Matshita? This issue is almost two years old, so I am hoping that a solution has been found. When my batt and DVD fail at the same time, I know that replacing them isn't going to help. Expecially when they work fine in other Pismo books! At least my applecare is good until Jan 2004 Thanks, Ryan -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

This has to be done in order for the PB to sense that there is something on the port and to sense what kind of signal to send. 2.
