Re: Help for networking neophite

[Clyde Kahrl]

Q:Has anyone successfully set up a wireless network with
one of the RoamAbout cards from Wegener Media and an
Airport original (not Extreme) base station? I think
that I need to know any tips or suggestions to make it
work. Maybe which version of software to use and the
proper order to set up everything, so that the
software and hardware are seeing what they expect, in
order to setup their portion of the "train".
A:  I use the Roamabout cards.   They are old orinoco cards.  They 
come with OS9 software.  For OSX you use ioxpert drivers downloaded 
for $20.   I have used them in the Lombard, Wallstreet, and TiBook. 
I haven't tried using them with airport software because I don't have 
an airport.

This is a sometime problem I run into on my Wallstreet.  It's 
something goofy with the power manager I guess.  You should be able 
to get the back lighting on by hitting the brightness control on the 
keyboard.  That's a start but doesn't solve the problem, if it goes 
to sleep the backlighting won't come back on.  To fix it restart into 
OS 9, put it to sleep, wake it up and then restart back into OS X and 
hopefully, all is well.

iBook Problems

I would never touch any iBook again unless I had a warranty with it.  The
problem is in the hinge design, not the MoBo, contrary to what Apple wants
you think or what many have written about.  The hinge is very badly
designed, as is the wire bundle that is snaked through it to run data and
power to the screen.  The hinge scissors the bundle repeatedly until it
literally starts to cut the wires.  During this time you get the flickering
screen problem that Apple tech only ever advised the useless "reset the PMU"
fix.  Once the power wire is cut completely through, ffft, a cascade short
that fries the MoBo.  Apple's current recall program is an insult, given
that a slew of icebooks before and after the range of serial numbers
recalled by Apple are still affected.  It's a scam recall, designed to
placate and diffuse.

iceBooks:  Look great, rotten hinge design...worse than the Wallstreet
fiasco.  Always have a warranty if you are going to own one, 1st year,
extended, whatever.

Should be polishable/cleanable.  I vaguely recall an Apple TIL 
article about it; give it a search.  There's also a company that 
sells a repair kit for the surface.

It's either the battery or the charging gizmo in the PB.

Check with a local Mac dealer.  They may be willing to deep charge 
your battery for you.  That will let you at least determine if the 
battery is ok, before buying a replacement.

Since how long have you been using this battery? After a couple of years of
constant use, they tend to lose their capacity. Have you tried the little
Apple utility "Battery Reset"?

Re: Wallstreet going blank

[Mike Kauspedas]

Have you tried it with/without the battery? Different power supply if 
you have one? A different wall socket? Disconnect everything, mouse, 
etc if you have stuff connected, dock, etc and make sure none of the 
peripherals are causing it. Reset the PMU. Shift + fn+ ctr + power 
button screen goes blank comes back with the wrong time. Mine actually 
got faster after I did that. A little. Make sure the LCD isn't loose. 
Try it with an external monitor. There's some suggestions anyway, hope 
that helps. thanks for the info on the RAM,

Mike

Re: Wallstreet going blank

[Mike Kauspedas]

This going to sound stupid, but my Wallstreet only wakes up when I hit 
the space bar. You might want to try that. I've been trying to figure 
what kind of RAM to put in this Wallstreet to get 512MB. What are you 
using? PC100? PC133? Do you know what the latency is? (It should have a 
CL and then a number on the chip) Thanks,

Mike

When it does this, I can't get it to come back on (the screen), but I 
know
things are going on as it still makes all the sounds and such.  I used 
to do
a forced reset, but today I pressed the power button once, heard the 
hard
drive rattle, so I was assuming it was the 'are you sure you want to
shutdown' message, hit the left arrow key and then  and it did 
in
fact shut down, so at least I don't have to hard reset it anymore.

Anyway, does anyone know what causes this, for the screen to just go 
blank
and not come back?  After it reboots, it's fine.  But it seems to do 
this
about every other day and is kind of annoying.  Sometimes it's after I 
have
closed it and it goes to sleep, then later I will open it up, hit the
spacebar and nothing...sometimes it works fine and wakes up.

Today, I had just woken it up from sleep, looked away for a minute, 
looked
back and it was blank again...hit the spacebar, nothing.

Any ideas or suggestions?  I'm running OS X.2.8. With 512Mb RAM.

New Battery Time?

[Robert D. Shutts]

Hello List Members:

My trusty Lombard's battery shows a full charge, then goes to zero after 5
or 10 minutes of use.  This is happening in OS 10.3.3 and in 9.2.2.  I have
tried the trickle down technique and have reset the power manager.  (I do
read the posts here!)

I am still concerned it may be the Lombard because this battery behavior (or
"behaviour" for you Brit readers) started out of nowhere.  I did not see the
typical slow degradation of battery life that one expects.  (The battery is
pretty old, I have to admit.)

Thoughts?  Anyone?  Anyone?

Re: iBook Drive

[Gary D. Adams]

I've got a 7200-rpm, 60gb Hitachi in my Pismo. Works nice. As for the 
"chatter"--try resetting the PMU on the clamshell. That might quiet it 
some. Going with the 4.86 gb drive is probably not much of a solution. 
You didn't say which clamshell she has, but wouldn't that drive be 
smaller? Optimizing the drive might help in quieting it, too, at least 
according to some things I've read. My clamshell chatters periodically 
and has for years.

Hello:

Sister's iBook (clamshell) HDD is on its way out, I think.  Making 
"head chatter" noises, really loud--and failing to boot while doing 
so--on and off.  Forced shutdown by holding power key stops this, and 
machine boots fine afterwards, apparently.  Have told her to backup, 
NOW!  So, options?  Replacement with new drive, or replace with the 
current drive (12 gig) from my Pismo and a new drive for me?  Replace 
with IBM TravelStar 4.86 Gig from my cousin (PC Formatted, but that 
can be fixed) which is a working pull?  I do lots of image work and 
audio work, she does lots of word processing, ergo IMO I should be 
getting a new (read: bigger!) drive, not her.

Recall there was a 7200 rpm drive for laptops out.  Anybody have 
comments on this?
Thanks.

Prevalence of iBook MoBo problems

[Jim Eddy]

Anybody know how prevalent the motherboard problems are in the recent  
ibooks? I'm looking at picking up a used ibook for my daughter. Should  
I either get an older one not in the recall program, a newish one with  
warranty left, or are the problems not worth worrying about?

Re: Help for networking neophite

[Michael Dolberry]

Thanks to everyone who has responded to questions over
the last few days, both on and off list.

No, I do not plan to sell any of my items if I am
unsuccessful at setting up my network, but thanks.

I now have a basic idea of networking from the
websites suggested.

Has anyone successfully set up a wireless network with
one of the RoamAbout cards from Wegener Media and an
Airport original (not Extreme) base station? I think
that I need to know any tips or suggestions to make it
work. Maybe which version of software to use and the
proper order to set up everything, so that the
software and hardware are seeing what they expect, in
order to setup their portion of the "train".

Any ideas?

Mike Dolberry
