Never heard about AC Sound board failure in a Wallstreet. The PMU, yes, quite a few times, but not the AC sound board. Just my experience... Actually I've seen reports of numerous users with sound/AC card problems. One Apple technician said he had had a flood of Wallstreet PBs that needed the card replaced. As I recall, it's been caused more by the power plug, than the sound plug. It can be caused by constant plugging and unplugging of the power cord which causes the connection on the board to eventually break. Then on Wallstreets, there is the potential issue with a piece of copper foil used as shielding inside the computer. Inside the case around the power jack, on some Wallstreets, this foil can over time shift enough to come into contact with the outer sleeve of the power jack. If the foil goes the wrong way, it can short out the sound card. FWIW that card is not part of the motherboard and can be replaced. I have not checked in quite a while but a year or two ago you could get a new sound/AC card from PBParts.com for $149 with the old card exchange.

Re: PB G4 fan replacement, options?
Jeff, [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: The fan in a TiBook is bonded to the upper housing, back center. There isn't room to put anything close to the processor, since it is covered by the heat sink/extraction tube assembly. Plus the 'Book is so thin there isn't room for anything else anyway. Not even a thin detector of 2 mm? Perhaps the heat sink isn't dissipatingn enough heat? I have a 500mhz and the fan rarely comes on, usually when I am running Virtual PC for over an hour at a time. You might try putting some thermal compound on the top of the processor, under the heat sink contact. I'll certainly try that.

Still I find it strange that the continuous seeking occurs only under OS X. The drive model Nr. is IC25N040ATCS05-0 and was purchased by Transintl on July 7th, 2003. On the drive label, besides the Warranty void if... warning it says /May 03 What does OEM stand for by the way? cheers, gianfranco Since it's such a new drive, you probably still have warrantee on it. Notebook drives tend to have longer warrantees on them than desktop drives, which most of the time only have a year's warrantee. Contact Hitachi right away and get an RMA for it. You took the words right out of my mouth, Michelle. I know my 40GB Hitachi (GNX) came with a 3 year warranty. However, if gianfrancoo's drive was purchased as an OEM -- the actual meaning has no real significance here -- that usually indicates that there is no warranty included unless specifically stated. If gianfrancoo doesn't know whether his drive was an OEM, if he could provide the Hitachi model# (such as: IC25N040ATCS05) and where he bought it. Perhaps someone on the list will know whether it was OEM or not. Bob I believe that OEM means 'Original Equipment Manufacturer. Yep. Means some original products from known companies that are sold to another manufacturer to be part of a finished good from that last manufacturer. In your case, Hitachi sells their drives to Apple, so the Hitachi is the OEM. What often happens is that some resellers will get their hands on a batch of OEM equipment that are similar to the retail version. However, since it's OEM, it is much cheaper, since when a manufacturer like Apple goes to Hitachi and ask for their price for like, say 100,000 drives, they get them way cheaper than what you could get at any store. So, OEM equipment is the same than retail, except it doesn't come into a nice packaging and is usually quite cheaper. But, in your case, it's the same drive. To the consumer, it usually means that the device is a bare-bones device. Normally it will come with no manuals (yeah, I know, what's a user's manual these days), no extras that would normally be included, like installation screws or brackets/sleds etc, and often no warranty which means that you will need to deal with the vendor rather than the manufacturer concerning any problems. All, as Laurent states above, for a cheaper price. From your Model# above, I'd say you have a Travelstar 40GNX 40GB drive. If that's the case, then Transintl says it has a 3-year warranty: http://www.transintl.com/store/category.cfm?Category=351RequestTimeO ut=500 I was just reading recently where several people have had problems with that drive right about the 1-year mark. Sounds like you are just about at that time frame as well. I'm not trying to diagnose your problem. We're just discussing whether you have a warranty on the drive or not. P.S.

Re: TiBook 550mhz with vertical racing stripe on screen
Gabriel [EMAIL PROTECTED] asks: I have a question, about this hair line thin yellow sometimes white stripe, is it time for a screeen, or a new logic board. I have not taken it in for service, but I was thinking of selling it and I need more info. Almost certainly it's the LCD itself, rather than a logicboard or cable problem. The LCD is fed a digital signal which it processes using its own onboard circuitry into the picture you see. If there's a problem with something other than the LCD there usually are more artifacts than you describe. The line(s) of misbehaving pixels is probably caused by an open (or shorted) connection among the _zillions_of_tiny_ connections at the LCD's edge. LCD replacement is likely the only cure, but selling is probably the best choice if you cannot tolerate the defect. Keep in mind your TiBook is worth more as parts than whole . . .

Written in the mid 80s, they're still good!) At this point, me and mine (housemates and clients) have burned thousands of discs, mostly for backups. CD-R, CD-RW, and DVD-flavours. I estimate that 2 to 5% of the discs that are 2 years or older are now unreadable. We use everything from expensive Gold Archival discs to no-names. Makes no diff. They all degrade. My bottom line recommendations: 1. Brand matters little and pricing is definately not an indication of quality. Some stores seem to carry better quality discs than others. My overall fav is GQ (Great Quality), from Fry Electronics (aka outpost.com). Zero coasters and so far only 2 of those have degraded (out of 400+). 2. Make duplicates or maybe triplicates of the important stuff. Preferrably on different brand discs! 3. Make triplicates or maybe quadroooplicates of the really important stuff. 4. Keepa you fingers OFF. Even a little finger oil can ruin a disc. It may still burn without errors, but 1/4 of our degraded discs have smudges on them. (No, cleaning them doesn't make them suddenly readable). 5. Keepa them stored in good conditions. No cooking, freezing, or bending. What's cooking? Anything above 90 degrees. 6.

I would do the partition from Disk Utility that you can launch from the OS X installer. Then, proceed to install OS X. Reboot with OS 9 CD and install OS 9... -Laurent. I'm beginning to sound like an echo. g Laurent's advice would have been mine as well. The OS 9 driver option is somewhere near the beginning of the format process. Keep your eyes open for it (no need to be in a big rush). You don't want to miss that and proceed with the installation. You'll have to start over if you miss it. BTW I also recommend, after you install 9.2.1, updating it to 9.2.2. It's a free update, although quite large. And make sure you have all of the OS X security updates as well. I'll let some others fill you in on those details. When I put OS X on my Wallstreet, I used the 10.2 installer disks. Then I had burned all of the other OS and security updaters on another CD and proceeded to bring everything up to snuff very easily and quickly. OS 10.2.4 was the current version at that time, so that's as high as I went. Oh, I don't mean to sound insulting, but you will lose everything that's currently on the H.D. when you format and partition. So if there's anything you want to keep, back up the new drive beforehand. HTH, Bob -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: moving email from Mail to Entourage
Anyone know how to move mail from Mac mail to MS Entourage. I like the calendar etc... I'd sync with a Palm, but I don't have USB on my WS II. I also need to move the contacts. So move all contacts and mail from Mac Mail to Entourage. Is this possible? Thanks! Hi Mike, I have done this just about a week ago when I sarted playing around with the Test drive version of Entourage. Just start the Entourage application and then select Import from the File menu and follow the prompts. It will offer you to import mails from Apple Mail to Entourage - works fine. If you need to move your contacts from Address Book to Entourage you can then select all contacts in Address Book and drag them to your desktop. Then open Entourage and paste them to the Address Book in Entourage. Jan -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

There isn't room to put anything close to the processor, since it is covered by the heat sink/extraction tube assembly. Plus the 'Book is so thin there isn't room for anything else anyway. Not even a thin detector of 2 mm? Perhaps the heat sink isn't dissipatingn enough heat? I have a 500mhz and the fan rarely comes on, usually when I am running Virtual PC for over an hour at a time. You might try putting some thermal compound on the top of the processor, under the heat sink contact. I'll certainly try that. It's the previous user that says the fan never comes on, I haven't judged this myself. You know anything of what hardware judges and control the fan? There is a little bit of room on top of the heat sink, but not very much. Are you talking about a fan that is 2mm thick? That wouldn't move very much air. Lift out the keyboard, you can see the heat sink assembly. As far as controlling the fan, I don't know. The early G4 processor in the 400/500 TiBook also doesn't send the signal to software that's available for monitoring the temperature.

Once you have formatted the disk under OS-X's Disk Utility, it will no longer be recognized by older Disk Setups or by the OS-9 Installer on the OS-9 System CD without those drivers.

Advice RE: The Snow ABS
I ran across someone wanting to sell a Snow (Dual Ethernet g) ABS. Not on eBay. They only had a partial model number, so neither one of us knew exactly what ABS it was. Now we're sure. They're wanting $150 for it. Is that a decent price? There were some issues regarding a problem with white residue appearing on the ABS motherboard which caused catastrophic failures. Can anyone add any more details about the problem and/or solution. Is it still a problem with those base stations? Are there any other problems that I should be aware of with the Snow ABS? And I hate to ask this one, but...has anyone used the Snow ABS as a wireless **dial-up** Access Point rather than a broadband WAP? I know you can use it that way. I'm just wondering how well it functions that way. Thanks for your help, Bob -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Advice RE: The Snow ABS
Bob: I use mine every day for a dial up connection at home where high speed is not available. I use the LAN port on the Base Station to connect to a 10bt hub and I connect to the internet via the Base Station's modem, using a Beige G3 running 10.2.8 and a flat screen iMac running 10.3. I wirelessly connect to the base station using an ibook with the standard airport card and a G3 Wallstreet running 10.3.3 using XPostfacto and a Cisco wireless card. Everything works fine. Only one thing you should be aware of, and that is that the Internet Connect software built into OS X will only connect or disconnect the base station's modem from a computer using an airport card. Unless things have changed, there is only one application that will control it from non airport wireless cards or a wired computer and that is ABS Modem Utility, an OS9 application that shows up in version tracker. Fortunately, the author has a beta Carbon version available here: http://www.catsincharge.com/programs/beta/ that works just fine in OSX, up through 10.3.3. It's not posted on the Version Tracker site, however. I just happened to stumble across it when I was looking to see if the author had plans to upgrade it for OS X. I can't see that the Carbon beta release has been updated in quite some time, but I've been using it for 2-3 years with no problems. It sits in my dock and it the way I connect for 3 out of 4 of my computers. (The icon's kinda ugly though because it's a 9 icon, so I got something a little more pleasing from icon factory.) The only problem I have seen is that occasionally good connections are reported in both Internet Connect and the ABS Modem Utility, even though the connection is not good (I can't go anywhere on the net). And I've had to disconnect and reconnect one or more (and sometimes several times) to get a stable connection, whereas if I disconnect my computer and hook my laptop up to the phone line directly, the connection will go through. This is an intermittent problem though and I tend to think that it is my phone line or ISP, not the base station per se. Since the laptop connects fine, I can only guess that the modem in the Base Station somehow requires a little cleaner connection. All in all, I'm very satisfied with this set up (although I wish it were faster).

Re: HD in Lombard running hot
From your Model# above, I'd say you have a Travelstar 40GNX 40GB drive. If that's the case, then Transintl says it has a 3-year warranty: http://www.transintl.com/store/category.cfm?Category=351RequestTimeO ut=500 I was just reading recently where several people have had problems with that drive right about the 1-year mark. Sounds like you are just about at that time frame as well. I'm not trying to diagnose your problem. We're just discussing whether you have a warranty on the drive or not. P.S. I just ran down a spec sheet for your drive in case you are interested: http://www.memorysuppliers.com/ibmtrav40at5.html yes, that's the drive in question and is just at the year mark. So I have contacted Transintl who have given me a link to request a return number. I'm not sure how to proceed after I request the Nr. (first timer), but I guess it will all be self-explanatory once I start... The reason why I have not yet gone ahead with the request is that I had also contacted Hitachi separately, who have sent me a link to a diagnostic software (Drive Fitness Test) that unfortunately runs under DOS or Windows on x68 based computers. Apart from the fact that I found this rather amusing in year 2004 and considering the HD in question (but maybe I'm missing something here), the software is supposed to check for bad sectors and eventually repair them. Should I get some similar test performed before returning the disc (if yes, how??), or should I just return based on the sympoms I see. I mean, the disc works still, but the continuous seeking noise is abnormal, so is the heat generated... thanks all for the assistance! cheers, gianfranco -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I mean, the disc works still, but the continuous seeking noise is abnormal, so is the heat generated... My experience with bad blocks is that is has nothing to do with the amount of H.D. head access. Normally bad blocks will show up in the inability to save, load or delete files. But it wouldn't hurt to check if you have the tools. I'm not an OS X expert, but the one utility that I know will check for bad blocks is TechTool Pro. Just allocate 4 or 5 hours for the read write test. There may be other utilities that you could use, I'm not familiar with any of them. I have intentionally tried to stay away from trying to diagnose your problem. One, because I honestly don't remember all of the details. Two, because I have a lot of irons in the fire here at the home front that are consuming my time. But 3 things real quick. You're using OS X? How full is you drive? Do you have between 15 - 20% of the drive free? If not, that could be causing the excessive drive seeking. Have you ever defragmented your drive? This is more of a long shot, but if you're wanting to try all the options before sending the drive back, you ought to defrag it. I know for a fact that if the drive is extremely fragmented, it will expend a lot of head movement saving and loading files. The one utility that I would recommend for this is Alsoft's Plus Optimizer (which used to come free with Disk Warrior, but is only available as a separate entity now IIRC). Norton has a defragger, but I will never recommend Norton to anyone -- that's one of my hangups. Third, can you situate any type of air-flow under your PB. A big fan, a small fan, sit the back end of the PB up 2-3 inches. Try to cool the machine down. Excessive heat will in itself cause more head recalibration. You've been thinking that the excessive head access is causing the heat (and it may be). OTOH the heat may be causing the excessive head access. Maybe someone on list can tell you if there is a temperature gauge for your Lombard in OS 9 (I'm almost positive that there's none for it in OS X). I use G3Strip in OS 8.6 and I wouldn't live without it. That's one reason I haven't move up to OS X on a permanent basis. Anyway, those are my thoughts. I hope someone else will chip in to help you. I just don't have a lot of time at the moment. Good luck, Bob -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
