Re: yo-yo adapter sound question
I think it's not the connection. My yo-yo adapter makes a buzzing sound while it is actually charging the battery. Once the battery is charged the adapter is silent. It has done that since I first got it back in 2000 and from what I understand it is normal behavior. Hello, I have had an adapter replaced under the 4402 G3 adapter recall. However, the yo-yo adapter makes a slight buzzing sound where the cord plugs into the yo-yo connector. Is this normal? -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Changing the keyboard
Hi all, As you know, I had to get another keyboard for my iBook, since it has the international one while I need the Norwegian one. Tomorrow I will be going to the PO to fetch it (and the Airport Express Base)... I still do not know how I am going to get it installed though. Is that something you can do yourself, or would that compromise AppleCare? Do I have to go to a Apple re-seller who has a repair facility as well, or could I e.g. ask my boss who often do stuff himself? I would need to give him instructions though, as he is most used to dealing with stationary computers (PC`s and Mac`s)... I know that if I wanted to get a RAM chip put into my Pismo, the labor would be around $80. So god knows how much changing the keyboard would be. But if using professionals is my only option, I would just have to do it... I am excited about one other thing too, and that is that when I just changed the language in OS X, it still is not exactly like my other Norwegian keyboards. There are some characters which just are not where I expect them to be. So if I just use this set-up, and the keyboard is exactly like the others, e.g. on my Pismo, I would still have a few problems, I think. How to solve that, and get everything to match the actual keyboard, I have no idea. But it must be do-able, at least I hope so... Thanks a lot for your help!!!

Re: Erasing hard drive
Does Panther have a disk corruption issue? I installed 10.3 and updates (at the time) on a pismo. Worked fine for 2 weeks then one day I got the wonderful question mark. I started up from the CD and tried to repair disk permissions, but disk first aid could not find an install to repair. So I reformat and reinstall. Everything fine for a week and the same thing happens. I replaced the hard drive thinking it had gone south, and install 10.2.8 and have had no problems since.

Even the start up is agonizingly slow !! I have spent ages on the phone with AppleCare trying to resolve all the problems I've been having - i.e. Programs not quitting fully or requiring repeated force quits, crashes, endless spinning balls, extensive delays in programs, and then the disk drive not working.

If there is I haven¹t seen it. I¹ve had Panther installed on 28 machines since it was released and haven¹t had a problem with any of them. (24 G4 iMacs, 1 2001 QuickSilver, 1 15² alBook, 1 dual USB iBook, 1 tangerine iBook) I did have to reinstall the OS in my alBook but that was in relation to a failed update, not everyday usage. Panther is finicky about RAM. We¹ve seen it fail to install with certain RAM upgrades. And just to prove how finicky it is, having installed without the upgrade, it often runs fine when the upgrade is reinstalled. Not that I¹d trust that RAM upgrade personally. I¹m thankful for S.M.A.R.T. drives. In the past I¹ve had drives I was suspicious of but wasn¹t entirely certain about.

Re: Wallstreet start up
James Sanderson said: What would keep a WS from starting up with a fully charged battery? The battery indicates that it is fully charged. The computer starts up just fine with the adaptor connected. When the computer is on the indicator says that the battery is fully charged. I have started the computer with the battery only before. The PMU has been replaced; I know it works cause before I replaced it this battery that I have was discharged. The charging unit (or whatever it's called) is also new to the computer. Suggestions please? Unfortunately I have none, but I can share identical experiences with a WS II/PDQ that I used to own. It wouldn't startup unless it had the powercord plugged into the wall. Then it could stay up for 2 and half hours or so. On the other hand it could be moved with no or empty battery in to another outlet or let me change to a fresh battery, even in the same bay, while in sleep. I suppose something in the battery charge is too little to be able to handle an increased request of power during the startup or there could be a hardware setting somewhere that prevents startup without a powercord plugged in. But I wouldn't count on that. Maybe others have better suggestions. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

ibook help- no idea why its not working!

I'm going to try the middle one next. this sucks. What the hell could be causing this?? I don't think i've ever read any posts that explain THIS before.

JR Try this first before you send it into Apple and have to wait 2 months before you get it back: If you have access to another Mac with Firewire use Firewire Target Disk Mode. Simply grab a firewire cable, connect it to the working Mac while it's running, then the other end to the bad iBook. At this point, press the power on the iBook, and then press and hold the letter T until the LCD lights up, showing the Firewire symbol. If you can get this far, and an icon pops up on the working Mac, be warned. . .Apple may do a similar test and call your friend once they have his iBook saying the logic board is fine and it's gonna cost hundreds to fix. (friend had a similar experience.) If you CAN get that far, then run Disk Utility on the working Mac and try to repair disk/permissions on the bad iBook. I can't tell you how many times this simple procedure has fixed many problems with my friends iBooks and PB's. I recently fixed my roommates iBook using this procedure; (see thread, Black Screen of Death) Hope this helps. If not, then at least you can rule out any other possibility other than the logic board. If that's the case, then check Apple's website 'cause if I'm not mistaken, Apple has once again extended the Logic Board Replacement Program. The cool thing about this program is that you don't have to be the original owner nor does it even have to be under warranty. If, after they test the iBook and determine that it is in fact the logic board, they will replace it for free. . .no questions asked.

problems with Lombard 400 OS9.2.2 freezing in Netscape or Mozilla
Hello All I've been having trouble with my Lombard 400 (OS 9.2.2). It's been freezing hard while running Netscape 7.02 or the Wacomm Mozzilla build. Each freeze requires a forced restart and they got frequent enough (every other day) to require action. So I rebuilt the desktop, zapped the PRAM and trashed most all the preferences but the problem still occurs. Could it be that Netscape and Mozzilla are fighting? At first I though it was cool that when I started Mozz the Netscape profiles popped right up but perhaps there's some sort of conflict running both programs on the same machine. Maybe it's just time to re-install the OS. It has been a few years and my daughter has used the machine pretty hard. If I stick with OS9 is there any preference for revision level? I don't think it's hardware since I was able to play through a whole movie on DVD without incident. -- Andrew in South-East Ann Arbor PS: Afterward I opened the keyboard and checked the top of the processor heat sink.

I installed 10.3 and updates (at the time) on a pismo. Worked fine for 2 weeks then one day I got the wonderful question mark. I started up from the CD and tried to repair disk permissions, but disk first aid could not find an install to repair. So I reformat and reinstall. Everything fine for a week and the same thing happens. I replaced the hard drive thinking it had gone south, and install 10.2.8 and have had no problems since. Out of curiosity I installed the same 12 Gig HD from the Pismo (the one I thought was bad) into my Lombard and reformat but install 10.2.8 this time. It's been running without a hitch for 4 months! Apple of course will refuse to acknowledge that any of their software might be causing problems but this is all I can link my problems too. Soon after installing the update, things started to grind to a halt. Before that, I had been running the previous OS and had no problems. The last OS update has caused no end of problems. Even the start up is agonizingly slow !! I have spent ages on the phone with AppleCare trying to resolve all the problems I've been having - i.e. Programs not quitting fully or requiring repeated force quits, crashes, endless spinning balls, extensive delays in programs, and then the disk drive not working. Anyway, I have no choice but to install Panther after I do my HD erase as it is on the Install/restore disk that came with the PB. I am hoping I can install Jaguar over the top of Panther when the hard drive is sorted out by the erase. Before I got my 17, I've used my Pismo with 10.3 since it was released and never had any problem.
