First-gen 12 PB G4 867MHz with 1GB RAM?

2004-04-09 Thread Brian Lalor
According to this article[1], these[2] 1G SODIMMs will work in the 
original 12 867MHz PowerBook G4 (like the one I bought in August, 
just before the new ones came out).  Has anyone tried it?  They're 
still too expensive for me to buy; mine works pretty well maxxed out 
(officially, anyway) at 640MB, but after bumping my G5 at work to 
1.5GB, I've become a memory hound. :-)

Re: Share My Desktop

2004-04-09 Thread Seeker
 Since I'm going to help an elderly lady to master a secondhand iMac so
 that she can e-mail, browse and Google I would like to master the
 program  Share My Desktop.

Ok, I use SMD and Chicken of the VNC.  It's easy...unless you are going
through routers at either end, in which case, it can be hell setting it up.
Also, and I am pretty sure about this, you will both need broadband
connections.  If I am wrong on this point, someone else please jump in and
say so.

   So, before we get into a lot of detailed, step-by-step stuff:

1.  Do you both have broadband access?

2.  Is either of you running a router?

I can help you IF neither of you is running a router.  If you are,
figuring out how to make SMD/VNC work over a router is beyond my abilities
and I won't be able to help.

Let me know,
bob

Re: Wallstreet II video problem

2004-04-09 Thread George Mogiljansky
The Apple Service manual says first reset the power
manager. 
For the 13.3 screen, start with the display cable. 
If you have a 14 inch screen, start with the inverter
cable, then the power cable, the inverter board
(replace), replace the display, i/o logic. 
I just bought a replacement screen on eBay. Mine is
dim and a replacement of the backlight seems
problematic One user did it but dust got into the
screen and it's pretty bad. 
Does anyone know if the 14 inch backlight is
soldered-in or just clips in?

Re: Any instructions on disassembling my Titanium screen assembly?

I've been told the metal covers on the screen are glued together and

Re: Any instructions on disassembling my Titanium screen assembly?

2004-04-09 Thread Scott Howe
Mark,

You are in for one hell of a hard time if you plan on replacing that screen
yourself. I've done it twice and it's a long laborious job. If you plan on
going ahead with it, email me off-list and I'll send you some info.

As far as what Apple does, they sometimes (depending on current LCD prices
and your particular TiBook model) just throw your hard drive in a whole new
case. Then charge you $1200 for it.

Wallstreet I Ibackup battery replacement instructions needed. . .

2004-04-09 Thread Stanton Mitrany
Thanks to a previous request to this list, I've been sent links to
instructions which involve taking the entire top of the computer off,
including the keyboard, heat shield, modem, processor with RAM, HD, then the
lid with the monitor, and then finally the bottom of the computer,
including, seemingly, all the rest of the removeable components in the
chassis, just to get to the backup, or clock battery.

Are all these steps REALLY necessary? Doesn't anyone have a set of
instructions for what is MINIMALLY required to get at this one component and
to replace it and then reassemble the computer?

Please help! I'll be very grateful, and I'll bet there are other list
members who need to, or will, in the near future, need to replace this aging
component.

However, if one really must basically disassemble the entire computer, (this
feels a bit scary and risky to me), do you know of anyone who would install
a replacement battery for me at a reasonable price? Do YOU know how to do
it? Might YOU be willing to do it for me?

Thank you!

All the best,
stanton

Re: Points and Pismos...

2004-04-09 Thread Mikael Byström
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] said:

I misunderstood what you unit you were referring to.  I know Pismos do not
need XPF.  
That was clear in my note.  
Your comment as a whole, as far as it concerned my post, was quite
unclear. I was making suggestions to Andrew who happens to own a
wallstreet and beige g3 tower. I can understand that in the shifting
subjects this thread evolved under you could lose track of that and I
could perhaps have been more clear, but the original subjectline for the
thread was Re: Latest version of OSX for wallstreet/beige g3? so I
thought it waqs understood what boxes we were refering to.

What's your point in asking 'what's your point?'  
It was merely to ask if you had a point, because it sure eluded me. If
you feel guilty for having misunderstood a reference, then that's quite
unecessary as anyone can make a mistake like that. It's no big deal.

You certainly have the correct domain name.
:) Look there no need for that. I don't think that kind of attitude is
beneficial for anyone. Please try and not read in what is not said in
posts. Thank you.

Re: Wallstreet I Ibackup battery replacement instructions needed. . .

2004-04-09 Thread George Mogiljansky
Hi Stanton, 

Depending on time, etc. do it yourself. The confidence
booster alone is worth it. If not, post a request on
your local newsgroup for a tech who has a good rep. 

I even bought a Pram battery for a 3400 from a battery
specialist (not a computer-related store). Take your
old battery to a battery store (see the old-fashioned
Yellow Pages) and they will/should gladly accept the
challenge.

Need assistance getting new HD recognized on my Pismo

2004-04-09 Thread James Rohde
I recently got a Toshiba 60GB and installed it in my Pismo (which has 
been out of action for a while - another story...). I was going to 
install MacOS X.2.3 Jaguar onto it (DVD in the Pismo's DVD/CDROM drive), 
and it started up okay. But, it doesn't recognize any other drive besides 
the install disc.

So I figured I needed to start up with my original Pismo (9.0.4) install 
or restore CDROM(s). However, when I try to boot up with either of those, 
I get as far as the startup screen and it freezes about there (at least, 
the drive stops spinning, the pointer isn't visible and I get no response 
from moving the trackpad, clicking the mousepad button, etc.). 
Occasionally, I get a bus error message and a choice to Restart (but 
clicking on that button doesn't do anything, and I have to do the 
three-finger salute to restart.

I have an external FireWire/USB case with my Pismo's old 10GB drive (and 
9.0.4 instaled on it), but I get no further than the startup screen with 
that - not sure if it's completely recognizing/loading the system files 
from that. Is there a keyboard command to force the Pismo to start with 
the OS on the Firewire drive (or would I be better off trying to use the 
USB cable instead?)?

Getting frustrated and hoping there's a way to figure how to get things 
resolved (short of a big expensive bill for sending it off).

TIA,

Jim Rohde

Re: Wallstreet II video problem

2004-04-09 Thread Stephen Kerney
Problem solved!  

The power manager reset didn't work so I took the sucker apart and removed
every component and cable I could find.  And while I was at it I reflowed
some more solder on the power supply board 'cuz the repair job I did a year
or so ago where the power adapter plugs in was starting to show cracks.

After reassembly, powering it up (with some trepidation) was very rewarding.
The screen illuminated faster and the vertical lines are history!

Only downside is I lost my excuse for a new 17 PowerBook.  Oh well.  Maybe
later this year...

Thanks for the suggestion George.

 dim and a replacement of the backlight seems
 problematic One user did it but dust got into the
 screen and it's pretty bad.
 Does anyone know if the 14 inch backlight is
 soldered-in or just clips in?

Re: Vertical line on screen

2004-04-09 Thread Emery Stora
My Wallstreet 14 screen has developed a vertical line.  It appears 
to be one pixel wide.  Is this permanent damage or is there something 
that can be done to fix it?
