Wallstreet battery update

2003-09-27 Thread Tekno Liber
Just for information as there's always someone who might
have a similar problem.
It turns out that both the battery bays on the Wallstreet are
fine, it's the original battery that's dead, stone dead.
The new one charges fine and I will shortly calibrate it.

Is there anything one can do to a dead Li-Ion battery ?

I never want to use a good battery in a deasktop Power
Book, but it's always good to have some battery charge,
even if it's only 10 minutes worth in case the power should
die or a cable become dislodged...

Wallstreet keyboard (continued)

2003-09-27 Thread Tekno Liber
and so the story goes on...

Quick question:

How does one best remove a key from the Wallstreet keyboard
without damaging it so that one can fit it in a different place ?
I want to move the key above  Tab -|  to the full stop/colon
spot as this one is missing, don't want to bugger the key trying.

Cells inside a WallStreet battery

If anyone has a clue where I could get 24 of these (or equivalent) at 
a sane price, I'd be very happy! Perhaps there's a bulk discount if 
we club together?

 Paul

Know that even if you replace the cells, that doesn't mean the battery will
start working again. Smart laptop batteries, like the ones in Wallstreet,
Lombard and Pismos, to name a few, have an electronic circuit board that
communicates with the computer to let him know about the state of the
battery. These circuits have apparently a tiny non-volatile RAM that is hard
to reset. If the last information stored is about the battery being dead,
then the battery won't recharge, even with new cells. I know because I did
replace the cells in a Pismo battery but the battery never charged when put
back in the Pismo.

So, beware before forking out some hard earned cash on cells that could be
useless. However, if you want to try, go for it. Maybe you and we will learn
something in the process...

Hi again!
I've cracked mine open and there are 12 cells, type:
Panasonic Lithium ion CGR17670HC

I have a pdf file from Panasonic which describes these cells in
detail, if anyone is interested.
If anyone has a clue where I could get 24 of these (or equivalent) at
a sane price, I'd be very happy! Perhaps there's a bulk discount if
we club together?
Search down the local Panasonic manufactures rep. It should be 
available from their webpage.

Know that even if you replace the cells, that doesn't mean the battery 
will
start working again. Smart laptop batteries, like the ones in 
Wallstreet,
Lombard and Pismos, to name a few, have an electronic circuit board 
that
communicates with the computer to let him know about the state of the
battery. These circuits have apparently a tiny non-volatile RAM that 
is hard
to reset. If the last information stored is about the battery being 
dead,
then the battery won't recharge, even with new cells. I know because I 
did
replace the cells in a Pismo battery but the battery never charged 
when put
back in the Pismo.
There are several manufacturers of battery control chips. Look at the 
numbers on the chip and tell us which one is used. (let's hope its not 
a custom part, an standard part marked with an in house number (Apple 
does this), or a specially programmed microprocessor).

The chip documentation will tell how to reset it. As to whether it's 
easy to do is another matter, it may require a implementing a 
communication protocol. I don't know if these chips implement a EPROM 
type memory to store data non-volatile data, or if they depend on a 
small amount of voltage from the battery always being there to keep 
alive a CMOS RAM. Anyway, the chip spec will reveal those details.

So, beware before forking out some hard earned cash on cells that 
could be
useless. However, if you want to try, go for it. Maybe you and we will 
learn
something in the process...

If anyone would like to test this theory, just go out to your car and

Ti-Book display take-apart?

2003-09-27 Thread Dan K
Anyone, anyone? Nope, it's not in the manual, Apple only describes that 
module's replacement. Interestingly the 12 manual _does_ describe 
display disassembly though sadly that module is completely different than 
the early TiBook's.

My story: I bought a 550 with a messed-up display, the LCD appears to be 
intact though its functionality has yet to be determined. Also I just 
bought a 400 with a cracked LCD which appears to be otherwise intact. My 
PLAN is to use the ?good? LCD and the ?good? display case parts to 
create one good display. I have the service manuals for both models but 
those only reference display repairs as module replacement.

My questions: Can anyone tell me if I'm tackling the impossible, or _if_ 
possible help with some hints, tips, pointers or even just greatly 
appreciated words of encouragement? Are there any web sites detailing any 
of this? I googled for hours but found little, mostly grumbles about how 
Apple has done the world a disservice with their crummy product design.

What I did find was slim: 1) an Icelandic fellow's half-hearted attempt 
to fix with some bits of Al sheet and epoxy. NOT really what I had in 
mind and I understand it didn't hold up for too long anyhow - and 2) a 
guy who worked for a special effects company who fabbed 
replacement/reinforcing parts from Al stock. That second sounded pretty 
interesting but I could find no further details.

As for the actual disassembly I found nothing. Dangit! I _know_ somebody 
out there has done this but they are sure keeping their secrets well. 
Anyway, here's what I see based on the bits I've already got:

The back (outer) panel is made of Ti and I'm pretty sure the face (inner) 
is Al. The face is attached to the LCD's face with adhesive. It's not a 
thermally set adhesive but heat did seem soften it a bit. I used a hair 
dryer to heat the face while I peeled it off the LCD, but it got pretty 
bent up in the process. It appears to have no structural role based on 
what I see, I _think_ one could use an otherwise-complete display without 
it. BTW I was very careful to not heat the LCD, just the face piece.

The rear section consists of the panel itself, a pair of (ABS?) plastic 
spacers around each top corner of the LCD, and below which the hinge 
supports must wrap around each lower corner of the LCD. Is there some 
sort of filler section on the lower side of the LCD? I haven't got that 
part sadly. The plastic spacers and the hinge supports apparently are 
attached to the rear panel with a medium gray colored adhesive. It 
appears to be thermally sensitive but is probably not a thermal type 
glue. This same type of adhesive is used in the bottom section of the PB 
as well, in areas such as the join between the sides and top as sort of a 
fillet.

I think the two halves (LCD/face and backpanel/hinges) are joined with 4 
screws, two on each side of the display. They _may_ also be held together 
with a heatset adhesive, at least I found traces of a clear thermal glue 
in a couple of spots, though that could have been put there as part of a 
previous repair attempt.

Unless I can find some really useful info out there, I'm thinking I'm 
gonna end up creating a new web page on this topic . . .

Many TsIA,

Dan K

I would recommend doing what I am going to do: Buy a replacement 
battery first. After about 6 months crack open the old battery and 
purchase similar cells. Then pray for another 6 months that it works 
and then go into 6 months of counseling. That way if the cells don't 
work when you first try them you are not disappointed and your 
insurance covers your insanity because you sought counseling before the 
unfortunate moment that your cells started on fire.

Re: Wallstreet keyboard (continued)

2003-09-27 Thread Tom Ethen
I don't understand why it isn't feasible as both the PowerBook Medic and the
ebay seller I posted could send the keys through the mail. The last time I
sent a letter with a CD inside to a friend of mine in Denmark it cost less
than $5, so why can't you have them send the keys to you in Sweden?

Tom
 
 You could check PowerBook Medic. They sell single keys for a
 decent price.
 
 Not really feasable as I live in Sweden...

It's been a couple of years, but as I recall, I just pried up with a
fingernail and it popped off.

Re: Indigo iBook Boot Trouble

2003-09-27 Thread Brandy
Could mean your On board ram took a dump,
Try installing a known good 64-128 SODIMM,  (be sure to remove the 
battery and un-plug it before playing with it)  Also let it sit for 
about 30 minuntes with no battery and not plugged it before installing 
the ram.

Hello everyone,
Recently, my Indigo Clamshell 366 iBook began chiming 3 times at start 
up. In my research,  I have found that this means no ram banks passed 
memory testing and I am not sure what to do. I have removed the RAM 
from the top side. Still the same thing. Does this mean a new mother 
board?
Thanks for any advice.
Kyle
