I have not had to make any hinge repair for my Ti867 but I have 
collected a couple items just in case!

A guy in Iceland posted some pics of his repair at < www.photo.is>.
And O'Grady's web site had some pics with discussion in March 2002 < 
http://www.powerpage.org/>.

I don't know if these are still available or if they are useful. If you 
can not find them let me know off list and I can try to send them to 
you. I stress I have not tried to follow these instructions.

Re: using a PowerBook Wallstreet 300 in a coffee shop?

Yes, you could get an ORiNOCO Silver or Gold card, which are basically the
same than Apple own AirPort card. On OS 9, you only  have to install the
AirPort software and your card will be recognized as a genuine AirPort card.
On OS X, you need to use 3rd party drivers.
-Laurent.
I concur.  The ORiNOCO Silver/Gold are good cards.  I use them exclusively.

FWIW, though, IOXperts make drivers that will work with just about 
any Wi-Fi card out there.  The drivers are pretty cheap (~$20, so if 
you find a really cheap PC card...).  They make drivers for OS 9 and 
OS X.  You'll need two seperate licenses (one per operating system), 
if you run both OSs.

As Laurent already mentioned, the ORiNOCO cards (WaveLAN chipset) are 
recognized by AirPort 1.x and 2.x as AirPort PC cards.  OS X (and 
AirPort 3.x) do NOT recognize these cards, so you'll need drivers for 
OS X.

FWIW, the Apple AirPort card is a rebadged WaveLAN Silver...

(Dan K - I still haven't played around with my AirPort card in my PC 
Card slot or WaveLAN card in my AirPort slot - I'll let you know if 
anything funny happens when I do.)

Peace,

Problem with 12'' PB not detecting external Display.

[Guillaume Potard]

I have a problem , which apparently is due to a bug of OS X or the Powerbook
12'' Hardware due to the number of people having the same problem :
Here is the problem:

I cannot swtich the external video to PAL anymore (using the composite and
S-video adapter). That is, in the Display control pannel I can only select
modes that are 60 Hz..
However, connecting a monitor using the VGA adapter works fine.

The video output used to work fine for a short while after I got my
powerbook but then it suddenly stopped ... only NTSC after that :)

This is what I tried with no success:

-Upgrade to OSX 10.2.6
-Fresh new adapter
-Different Data projectors and VCRs   (it always shows the external device
as 'Display'  no matter what is connected)
-Resetting the firmware

I think it's a matter of not detecting the display properly really
annoying as the primary use of my powerbook is video stuff
Apple wanted something really flash.. .but just made something too
complicated and buggy

Is there anybody out there that has this problem ? And has a solution /
advice . This is a major flaw of the Powerbook 12'' !!

Thanks


Guillaume

Re: 667 Too Hot?

[Ron van Veen]

Nothing wrong with that.
My gigE 550 does the same thing for 2 years. Ti-books are using the 
body for cooling down. Just keep the screen up so the heat can escape.

Re: Installing new Tibook Hinges

[Ron van Veen]

Pretty tricky operation.
I replaced a hinge by peeling the side of the screen open (just the 
border) and took out the broken pieces. screwed a new hinge in and 
knocked carefully the peeled border back. It is a little-bit bubbled 
now, but works great. Use a heavy glue to keep the frame together and 
you've just saved a lot of money.
Good luck.

667 Too Hot?

[Geoff Doctor]

On my powerbook gigE 667, I noticed that my fan comes on quite a bit, 
and after a long time of use, the corner of the power button gets hot. 
The part located there is the motherboard and inverter, and I was 
having some backlighting issues. Do you think the inverter is the 
culprit?

Other than the 2 cracks, I'd rate it an 8 out of 10. It has some wear

[no subject]

[Patrick J. McCann, Jr.]

In the last few days, my Lombard screen has started to fade whether 
on battery or not. Colors become almost indistinguishable or are at 
best pastels, and black outlines around icons (for example) appear 
almost like dotted lines. An immediate fix is to restart, but can 
anyone tell me what might be causing this? It usually fades after 
I've put the machine to sleep overnight, not while in use. Thanks

Re: Installing new Tibook Hinges

[Jim Katz]

A general comment on Ti-Book hinges.  I had a green vertical line problem on
my Ti-400 that got replaced under Applecare by replacing the whole display.
It needed two tries to get it right, and then the lid was very tight and
hard to close.  a couple of weeks later one hinge had cracked through and I
headed back for repair again.  It is still tighter than when new, and I
expect will fail again.  I suspect it is really difficult to get these
hinges aligned and great precision is needed in the installation - don't
just screw it on and expect it to fly forever.  (I tried opening and closing
three new ones at a store and only one was smooth and easy even right out of
the box.)

Help w/connecting ipod

[ifab]

Lombard 333mhz, running os 9.2.2.  Trying to get my ipod to connect 
through a pcmcia firewire port.  Have tried two different cards; one off 
ebay- generic and one is a belkin card.  Both have showed up on the 
desktop but don't see the ipod as being connected.  The ipod is in disk 
mode so doesn't need a powered bus card.  I tried my externally powered 
cdrw and that was not detected through the cards either.  All the right 
extensions are there for firewire support.  Do I just need another brand 
of card?  The cardbus is working as it does see my wireless wavelan card. 
 I'm really stumped.

Warmly, Ilene Fabisch, Brockton, MA

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.

Installing new Tibook Hinges

[Geoff Doctor]

Hello, I recently purchased a GigE 667 Tibook with a
backlighting problem and broken hinges. The
backlighting is under control, now its time to work on
the hinges. They have the classic syndrom of snapping
off, so I assume part of them are stuck inside the
powerbook display. How do I go about removing these
oieces so the new ones can fit in, has anybody done
this?

Also, what cautions can I take so the hinges do not
snap again once I install new ones.

Thanks,
Geoff

sound issue on 12" G4

[Brian Lalor]

Morning, all.  I've had my 12" G4 PB for about a month, now.  I'm very 
happy with it, even though my battery life has become questionable with 
the 10.2.8 update...

I've noticed that, when running on battery, it seems the sound 
subsystem gets turned off, but wakes up when a sound event gets played. 
 For example, just now, after not having any sounds played for a while, 
I went to iTerm and hit ^G to cause an alert to trigger.  I heard a bit 
of disk activity, a slight pop from the speakers, and finally the alert 
sound.  It took about 2-3 seconds for the alert to finally sound.  If I 
trigger another alert soon after, it'll play again with no delay.  If I 
wait a minute or two, the delay will happen again.

Is this an energy-saving "feature"?  It doesn't seem to happen when 
running off the AC adapter...

Thanks,
B

I know what you mean. I've been looking for some info on replacing the hinge
on a TiBook G4/550. Can anyone point me in the right direction for DIY
repairs? I know some companies do the job for a lot less than Apple, but
said prices are still in the $500 range, plus shipping (I'm in Europe).

I came across a G4/550 with combo drive at a good price, though it has a
busted right hinge (the guy uses it with an external monitor and it works
fine). I also see right (and left) hinges selling on ebay in the $100 range.
If I could do the repair job myself it'd be a great deal; there'd be no
advantage in getting a company to do the repair job at $400-500.

I do have some experience in piecing broken powerbooks into good working
Macs, including 1400s, 3400s and Pismos. I've also done screen replacements
on these. Though obviously the TiBook screen is in a whole different league.
I have the Gigabit Ethernet takeapart manual and I can see that the job is
not for the faint of heart.

If anyone wants to advise for or against, please let me know. And if anyone
has any info on replacing the hinge yourself, any and all info would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Chris

Sorry, about that. 
It was only my account hiccupping...(sheepish smile) and I fired off the
wrong email confirming I still want to be on the list

Any girl knows a  little super or nail glue will put that fingernail right 
back on!
That did make me chuckle...

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

Re: Wallstreet keyboard (continued)

From: Tom Ethen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

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?
Ok, wrong choice of word, economical.

I live and travel into Stockholm, where most Macs reside here,
and therefore if I find someone with a dead keyboard it'll cost
me the equivallent of cents.
Also, the keys on an American keyboard is different to the keys
on a Swedish keyboard. It's not not an A, B or C key I'm after...
