Wallstreet Questions
Hello all. I am working to get my new used Wallstreet II into shape. I would like to thank all that answered my other questions. Got a new one for you. Can you recommend any brand (or company) for main battery? I tried some from EBC Battery company in FL for a PB 1400 and they did not last a year. The most I common have found seems to be from two mfg, BTI and something called Hi Power. Doing a Google search shows that the same part numbers sell for any where between $82.00 and $189.00. Both appeare to be made in China. I would be intrested in comments as to should I try to purachase a new Apple brand battery, if its still available as a service part. I dont need the 4 lights on the side, do I?? The other battery I have found is from OtherWorld computing. They have a high power battery at 4500wh for $140. Comments?? Would it be posable to rebuild the existing battery? I have seen your comments about doing a reset in open firmware, but how would you do this under OS9? Thanks for all your help.

Re: Powerbook overheating badly
i has a similar issue just recently with my Lombard. In this instance overheating was caused by the HD continuously seeking even in sleep mode (one could hear it). The machine however behaved normally if logging in under a different, newly created user. You might want to try this step as well before turnung the machine in. I was also advised by list members to send my HD under warranty for replacement, which I was about to do, but Hitachi insisted I'd do some troubleshooting first. cheers, gianfranco Just wondering if anybody has had this problem with their PB. I have a 6 month old 15 AL PB. Recently, I came home and found that the PB was extremely hot to the touch. It had been in sleep mode. When I lifted it up, it had actually left two burn/char marks in the table as well as a white mark where the finish of the table was damaged. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Noisy drive with DVDs only in PB G4
I had a premier showing of a DVD on my Powerbook G4/400 yesterday and to my surprise the drive was very noisy, like the disc was clearly hitting the top of the top case or something. Putting a book under the machine very carefully and moving it a bit to the left did the trick. The actual movie play was spotless. CD's doesn't have this problem at all. Could it be that DVD discs are thicker or more prone to getting bent or what could it be? Can I adjust my case somewhat to avoid this problem in the future? How?

Re: Wallstreet Questions
Hi Ken and all. I would have to suggest that you avoid BTI batteries. I have found that their batteries don't provide the run time that Apple batteries do, and they certainly do not accurately report their remaining charge! From 4 hrs remaining to 1:30 in an hour, then to 4 min in a flash on my Lombard and about the same in Clamshell iBooks. Also, they do not seem to last a year, regardless of use. They all seem to die the same way in that they just are not recognized by the machine or that they refuse to charge. Luckily the warranty is 1 year, however BTI's return policy is rather interesting in that you must FAX them the original invoice in your name and a cover letter to receive an RMA and instructions on shipping them the defective product. They will then inspect and repair/replace the battery at their discretion and return it to you. I've been lucky in that the local dealers are willing to order in a battery (takes about a week) and then exchange it. 3 iBook batteries have died under warranty and now the one for my Lombard is dead, just inside the 1 year period... If the warranty isn't approved for my battery, I'm going to order a high capacity battery from OWC. While it is great that BTI appears to be good at honoring their warranty, and that their dealers (that I've dealt with) are willing to do the leg work for the customers, it is a bother to know that I'll be without a battery for a couple of weeks every year, would have to buy another battery to remain truly mobile during that period, and that I should actually have that second BTI battery to get a decent run time. That is how I've seen it anyways... [;^) HTH Dave On 10-Jun-04, at 16:02, Kenneth Vann wrote: The most I common have found seems to be from two mfg, BTI and something called Hi Power.

How to connect Airport disabled Pismo to router wirelessly
Hi everyone - I have recently upgraded to broadband (in the UK) and my ISP supplied me with a Speedtouch 570 wireless router and a Speedtouch 110 wireless card to connect my Pismo (400mhz, OSX Panther, 320 MBRAM, 40 GBHD) to the internet. Turns out the 110 card is incompatible with Mac, and my Pismo has an unspecified hardware fault which prevents it from recognising an Airport card (diagnosed by local Apple store, almost certainly uneconomical to rectify). Am finding it very difficult to find alternative kit to connect the Pismo to the Speedtouch wirelessly - you mention Macs and everyone starts humming and hawing. Can anyone out there help or suggest anything ? Many thanks Muir MacKean -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

You can now print with no wires up to 33 feet away. I've got that exact setup with my Epson C84 and my Pismo. I've just gone wireless myself, but with a HP 5850 (802.11b built-in). I was seriously considering the Epson C84WN (wireless networking, 802.11b as well), but HP had a $100 rebate going on. Print with no wires up to150 feet away? Networked.

Re: Which FireWire hard-drive?
On Jun 9, 2004, at 7:16 AM, Peter Polshek wrote: Hello all. We need a firewire hard-drive for backup and extra storage. Which is the manufacturer of choice in terms of reliability or is it all the same? I have had very good experiences with LaCie. I am currently using a D2 200 GB Firewire 800 drive and am very pleased with it. Plug the Firewire cable into my AlBook and the drive turns on and mounts. Unmount, and it shuts off. And VERY fast!

RAM on WS Pismo
Hi, listers! Is the RAM on the Wallstreet and the Pismo the same and interchangeable? Best regards.

Re: Temperature of a G4 15 PB?
On Jun 9, 2004, at 9:51 AM, Timothy Luoma wrote: I noticed today while I was using it that my hands were getting hot. I had not noticed this before. I am using the PB on my desk with nothing under it, and it is running about 131F / 55C. Is that normal? I think that depends on what's running and for how long. If you keep Activity Monitor open (even just with the small floating CPU window showing), I think you'll find a direct correlation between CPU usage and temperature. Some applications, like MS Word, seem to use the CPU a lot, and some web sites do as well. Right now, with CPU usage pretty low, I'm reading 119.8F on my 15 AlBook. When I was using ThermographX (before it stopped working with the latest OS updates) I often saw temps (from some of 4 different sensors) as high or higher than what you mention above. I use CoolPads (Podium on my desk, and the smaller travel one elsewhere) to keep more air circulating below and around the PB. It's definitely too hot for my legs when used that way, and the CoolPad (although not designed for the lap) helps, although my legs still get warm.
