PB G4 fan replacement, options?
I'll soon have a PB G4/400 that have a fully functional fan, but it won't spin up in time, sitting quiet for most of the time. Therefore the machine gets quite hot. Anyone know how to make it spin up sooner? Reset the motherboard/ detectors somehow? My first thought though, was to replace the fan with a thirdparty fan that have its own heat detector that could lie close to the processor perhaps, like in a desktop PC. But what kind of fan is it? I couldn't find any info on that in the repair manual. Where is the best international source for laptop fans and information about them?

Re: D-Link Network Card for PB
Tom Wrote If it's already running when I insert card it immediately panics; if I reboot with the card in it, it freezes during bootup. A: In my experience, OSX doesn't like the card to be put in while operating--despite the fact that the hardware was designed that way. Also, make sure you turn it off up in the corner icon before you pull it out. I don't know what your driver is but if you installed the driver, make sure that It supports 10.2 and then, prior to putting the card in, go into system preferences and do what you need to do to get the driver configured.

Re: iBook key pops off
Thanks to everyone for the advice. Unfortunately, the shift keycap has a metal bar, and fitting it into the matching area on the keyboard proved extra tricky. I found a picture on the Apple website of the procedure for replacing a keycap on a Powerbook, and the area where the bar fits in seems more substantial. On the iBook, there are just little metal loops where the bar slips in. I can get the keycap into the loops, but something just doesn't seem right. At least I've established that I'm pretty sure nothing is broken. I'm planning on throwing myself at the mercy of our local Mac specialty store and hoping they'll fix it on the spot without charge. It makes me miss the keyboard of my Wallstreet II. It seemed more subsantial, and I can't imagine keys just popping off like this.

Pismo pram battery, DIY ?

It has been sitting on a shelf for almost 2 years, not connected and no battery in the bay, so it must be pretty dead now. I looked on the net and ebay, prices are ranging from 10$ for a very used one, to 100$ for a new one !! and since I currently reside in Taiwan at the moment, my resources to find one here are pretty limited and shipping would be prohibitive for such a small item. Macs are not too popular around here ! So, what are the specs for that little battery ? I am sure there is somebody that already tried this ! Thanks !

Re: WiFi range.
Yep, that's it. You could try changing the channel to the other end, like a 1,2, or 3. This will move the frequency farther away from where it is now, and maybe farther from an interfering device. However, another device may have nothing to do with your problem. When you change the frequency, you will just have to re-select the ABS out of the wireless network list on your computer and log in again for it to work. Paul Do you mean channels?

I think I agree with you--it probably isn't worth upgrading the Pismo. They tend to sell on eBay for around $500. The Ti 667s go from $900 to $1100 so putting a $300 upgrade into the Pismo takes it up near what the TiBooks run if you get a good price. I guess the question I'm more curious about is how much the TiBooks improved with the DVI models--they got an additional 1MB level 3 cache, and the VRAM doubled to 32MB.

You give up expansion bays, but if you get one with a combo drive that's important. I don't know about the Firewire performance, but I can tell you that with a 500mhz TiBook the FW is really slow. I mean way slower than Pismo, slower even than a Lombard with a PC card. I dodn't know that. Why is that? -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

As you go up Pa De, when you get to the overpass, there is a building on the right next to the motorbike parking area. Try B2 or B3 in this building for parts. Good luck. Stuart.

I was wondering if it could be possible to construct an homemade Pram battery for my (still) dead powerbook (but working on it ...). It has been sitting on a shelf for almost 2 years, not connected and no battery in the bay, so it must be pretty dead now. I looked on the net and ebay, prices are ranging from 10$ for a very used one, to 100$ for a new one !! and since I currently reside in Taiwan at the moment, my resources to find one here are pretty limited and shipping would be prohibitive for such a small item. Macs are not too popular around here ! So, what are the specs for that little battery ? I am sure there is somebody that already tried this ! Thanks !
