Re: Dead screen continued,part 2
The cable itself is very simple. There are all of six wires split into two branches. Two of the wires go to the reed switch. The other four are low-voltage video signals. Continuity isn't a problem. The problem is getting to the cable. In order to access both ends of the cable you need to disassemble the top and bottom halves of the iBook and also the screen. Once this is done you can just use a sewing needle as a probe in the connectors and an ohmmeter to ring out each wire in the cable. If you find that all six leads show close to zero resistance and the reed switch closes in the presence of a magnet, then you probably have an inverter board problem and you've just removed the cable for no reason. :) John On Sep 16, 2005, at 11:32 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: At 10:09 AM -0700 9/16/05, Dylan McDermond wrote: With an Ohm meter At 10:07 AM -0700 9/16/05, Bruce Johnson wrote: With difficulty, or how they do in the factory, which is specialized test equipment.

Re: Burning DVD's on a Pismo
I have never successfully created a DVD, in toto, but I have created partial DVDs. The problem might be that your DVD burner is too recent, too powerful, etc. Posible, as these are very fast drives, and will burn a dual-layer DVD at 2.4X, and a single-layer DVD at 8X. Those date rates are just too high for the flimsy interconnection provided to the Lombard and Pismo media bay. Forcing burning down to 2X might be a possible option. I notice that my Firewire case has an 80-wire/40-pin cable from the Oxford chipset to the drive. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

QT Pro Authorization?
I just updated QT from 6.0.2 to 6.0.3 on my 8600/G3/500 by first removing all QT parts (saved on Zip carts), because the installer insisted updating wasn't necessary. Now it won't accept my QT Pro key number as valid. It worked OK on my Pismo, what gives? -- MacManMark [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Powerbook screen
Hi all: The recent discussion about screens is unsettling my G4 Titanium 867 powerbook :-) I need to ask advice about something that I have noticed in the last two weeks. When I boot up (or when the screen lights up after sleep) it has a pink hue. Quite bright, and this fades within a minute or so to a normally coloured screen. Is this something I should seek attention for? (The orginal screen was replaced about 15 months ago after going green!) I am hoping someone can comment on this.
