Pismo start up problem
Hello, I have a Pismo 400 mhz, 576 mb ram, 48 GB hard drive running 10.3.8. When I start up it frequently begins and then shows the screen with the 'you will need to restart by holding down the power key'- which I think is kernel panic. What should I do to fix this start up problem? Thanks. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Dead screen on dual USB iBook
Hey all, My screen appears to have died. I can still access the HD in firewire target mode, and when I power up it makes all the appropriate sounds while the screen stays dark. If I hit power again and then return, the system appears to shut down. Can anybody shed any further light on diagnostics or direct me to other resources? I'm game to replace the screen, but would like to make sure that's the problem before proceeding.

12.1 in. 1.5ghz powerbook
Hey guys and girls, My old Pismo seems just about ready to be put out to pasture... or at least used as my media PC, and I am trying to figure out the best deal for the money, and something that will also stick around for at least as long as my Pismo has. Any opinions on the 1.5ghz 12 inch? vs. the 1.33ghz? and also, does anyone have an idea of when the product line should be revised again? If it will be revised in January I can put up with my Pismo until then. Thanks in advance, Matt -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: OS X on G3 Series PowerBook
Paul, There are no stupid questions, just questions that failed to be asked. I had looked at XPostFacto before and it states that it is not for the G3 Series PowerBook. Just this morning, I said what the heck and I tried using XPostFacto to see if that would help. When i ran it, it indicated a problem with my install (OS 10.2) CD. I then ran Tech Tools Pro and found that there were some bundle bits bad on that CD. It is possible that this has been my problem all along, although I thought that the system verified the install CD before starting installation. I am in the process of obtaining a replacement OS 10.2 install disk. I hope the new disk solves the problem.

Re: OS X on G3 Series PowerBook
I appreciate your input. I don't know if waiting and trying to Load OS X later will do much good. I have been trying to load OS X for almost a year, trying every few months. Recently, I upgraded my disk drive from 4 Gigs to 12 Gigs, and formatted the disk into two partitions, the lower one being 8 Gigs. Of course, I will keep trying, but I don't have much confidence that it will ever work. The only OS X system disks I have are OS 10.2. These disks loaded OK on my G3 Blue White 400 Mhz Mac, so I think that the disks are OK. Just a thought... it may be wiser to set the first partition to be a little UNDER 8 Gigs... I suppose this is a stupid question, but, are you using XPostFacto? Have you tried using it? I don't think it is stupid at all. However, the Wallstreet is supposed to allow 10.2 WITHOUT XPostFacto; it should be needed for 10.3 and newer, though. Luis Sequeira -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I am assuming here that we are talking about an internal CD/DVD drive. If it suddenly stopped reading any disk, then I guess there is a problem with it.

Re: Dead screen on dual USB iBook
One might also mention that the Dual USB iBooks have a history of this. If I remember correctly, it stems from the hinge eating away at the wires that run through it. Unfortunately, I don't remember if Apple covers this as they do the iBook logic board problems. You might call Apple and see if covered, or email them (free).

Dead Lombard
I apologize for the length of this in advance. My Lombard was running fine, I was multitasking (iTunes, Excell. Safari, Knofabulator, and mail) when the machine froze. I tried C-C-Esc to no avail. I then used O-C-Power. The machine shut down, and thats where it still is. I do not get the start up chimes, just nothing. I tried the reset in the back, nothing. I have replaced the charge card, the sound/power card, and tried a different a/c charger, nothing. All the modules are plugged in snugly, I tried with keyboard out, HD out, and processor out, in all combinations, nothing. The only odd thing is when I plug in the adapter, the green sleep light remains on, untill I do the reset button in the rear, or if I press the reset button twice, the green sleep light remains on, every other push cycle will light it up, same with the power cord, plug it in, light on. Unplug and plug back in, off. My next stop will be the Logic board, though I replaced it a few months back. Any ideas or comments? Henry -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Dead screen on dual USB iBook
You might have the old worn video cable problem, which can take a couple of forms. There are two functions of the cable that goes from the motherboard to the video section. One is to connect a reed switch that sleeps the computer when you close the cover. With some cable failures this switch sleeps the display when the cover is opened fully, but allows the display to light when the cover is only opened 10-30 degrees or so. There are other failures that just won't allow the main video voltage to get to the backlight, or won't allow the video signal through. If you can attach an external monitor to the iBook and it works, then you probably have a cable failure (your MB is sending out a good video signal). There's a good take-apart site for instructions and I can send you docs on the problem offlist if you want. I've done the replacement. It's tricky.

Re: Dead screen on dual USB iBook

Re: Does AL powerbook read DVD+R disks?
Quick question. I have a G4/1.33 12 with Superdrive. Would it read DVD+R disks with movies burnt using DVD Recorder connected to TV? Apple spec'd its drives before + media became popular, or perhaps even available. After I replaced my OEM DVD-CD-ROM drive with a generic DVD-CD-ROM- R-R/W drive which included two-layer capability, I was surprised that none of the Apple products would support + media, so for a while I was stuck burning two disks: a + one for recorder/player playing, and a - one for laptop playing. Okay, thanks for all the info, but maybe I wasn't clear with my question, as a few people responded about internal superdrives in powerbooks. But I was asking about a DVD Recorder you hook up to your TV and, in my case, also to our satellite TV decoder box. I've found a great deal on a DVD recorder that burns to DVD+R and DVD+RW disks only (not to DVD-R). I know Macs tended to prefer DVD-R disks in the past, and I know my 12 G4/1.33 Al Book with Superdrive reads movies copied on DVD-R disks just fine. I wanted to know if movies I recorded from the TV to DVD+R disks could be read okay on the Al Book. Oddly, I can't find the specs anywhere, so I was hoping to find someone who has actually done this and can provide the info from personal experience. Thanks.

Oddly, I can't find the specs anywhere, so I was hoping to find someone who has actually done this and can provide the info from personal experience. I changed the drive to a +/- superdrive (Pioneer DVR-K05) *and* installed PatchBurn, and it will read + disks. Without PatchBurn, it would only read - disks. I believe it is more related to the system software's view of the drive's capabilities than it is of the drive's capabilities themselves. Before PatchBurn, the drive was not supported; after PatchBurn, it was supported by vendor (but not by Apple), but nevertheless, it now will read + disks, whereas before it wouldn't. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Does AL powerbook read DVD+R disks?
The SuperDrive installed in your powerbook will only read or write DVD-R or DVD-RW media. It will not read DVD+R or DVD+RW disks, no matter what type of device they were recorded on. If you want to read +R or +RW disks on your powerbook, you will need to purchase an external drive that is capable of reading those disks, and connect it to your powerbook via USB or Firewire.

I could understand them not covering the drive, but to not cover the rest of the warranty seems a bit odd. I wonder if that could be challenged under the Magnuson-Moss act. That one comes up a lot when a car dealer will try and invalidate a car warranty claim based on the fact that an aftermarket part is installed on the car (one that does not have anything to do with problem being covered under warranty). For example, I replace the shifter in my car myself, the water pump fails, and the dealer won't cover the water pump failure even though it's covered under warranty.

The first is much less likely to be a problem, but I ran into the second when I bought two FireWire 80GB disks from IOGear. They were not bootable. I went several rounds with them claiming we never advertised them as bootable (which IMO is like selling a car without a fuel system, saying we never advertised that it had a fuel system) before they agreed to replace them with bootable models. The only way I know (short of trial and error) is to get direct information from the drive manufacturer about this.
