Caleb,

It's really  not that hard, have you a service manual? if not, email

I have removed the screen assembly from a lombard to work further  
inside. you just need to go slow, have the right tools and a  
large tabletop to lay it all out on as you go.

It is the backlight, you really don't need to worry until it fails,

Re: guidance sought on keeping home synched between Powerbook and Desktop Mac

Maybe you should give it a try. If you go to apples web site you can  
get a 2 month free trial.


I did, synced a few times, but haven't been back in a few weeks. It  
seemed to work well for me.


Not the fastest, but can be done at remote locations, besides just at

Re: system backups

[Alan Miller]

As I said, a few months back people on a list (can't remember which,  
I guess I'm on to many) there was a discussion about how CCC would  
not make a boot drive of OS X.4. It may have been fixed since then.


I tried and it would not boot, it copied data but could not boot. But  
SuperDuper! made me good boot drives. I have duped them on to  
firewire drives and can boot this Pismo from 4 different partitions I  
have on one drive. Did a similar thing with a pocked drive too.

Re: Lombard vs. Pismo: Your experience?

[Alan Miller]

I really liked my Lombard, until I got the Pismo, Firewire, the last  
requirement for Tiger. They were both 400 MHz models, I can't say I  
see a big difference in speed. Bit built in Airport and Firewire have  
me on the Pismo over the Lombard laying at my feet. That and it's  
dead again, I can't even get a chime.

Dead Airport Base Station

[Alan Miller]

Sorry for the cross post, but it could go to either.

But my airport (I use with this laptop) has stopped giving me green  
lights and now will cycle through the start up of Red and Amber but  
no green light. I saw one once for a split second when I was messing  
with it but it went red before I could even think it was green. So I  
unplugged it for for a day tried again still same thing.


Well I figure, it doesn't work so I took it apart (can't help myself,  
I'm still a 14 year old boy inside). Found it has a Lucent Tech  
WaveLAN silver card in a PMCIA slot. I pulled it out and powered the  
airport back  up and it cycled through and presto. a green light  
like it was working. I guess the card is bad??? I have no other  
was to test it, but when I slide it in my pismo system profiler gives  
me:


WaveLAN/IEEE:

  Function: Network Adapter
  Vendor:   Lucent Technologies
  Type: PC Card
  Vendor ID:342
  Device ID:2


Any Ideas? I am trying to find a replacement card to test my theory.  
Anyone have one?

Re: Lombard screen hinges

[Alan Miller]

Both my Pismo and Lombard have a almost an inch of play in them if  
measured at the top. I have had the lombard apart to the hinges on  
the bottom to replace the power board. The screws for the bottom of  
the hinges are on the rear of the PB. Looking at the ServManual the  
display end of the hinge is much harder to get to as you must first  
remove the display and then open it. I really never gave it much  
thought on either of my machines as the hinges are still stiff and  
hold the screen where I want it. They just have a little play in  
them

You can try opening it up and tightening the screws that hold the  
hinges to the case or screen.  Most of the time it's the hinge  
itself that is loosening up but I have had a case of the hinge  
attachment to the case being loose.

as I left listed. It acted just like yours. I got tired of it,  
disconnected all the power, PRAM battery too..
Put it back together the next day and it started.. and is still  
working to this day

Can't tell you why, but might be worth a try.

Waa..
Now you had to go and burst my bubble I finally thought I was using a  
current machine ;-P

HaHa.

I just got my pismo this month, since I got my wife a TiBook 667 to  
replace it.

I then got to move from a lombard to the pismo my wife was using:-)
It loaded 10.4.2 like a champ. Tossed in a 5400 RPM drive and more  
RAM, still waiting on another 512

Runs great!

I will say the lombard is obsolete since it can't install 10.4 only  
10.3.9 and lower.

CBS even did a story about it on the national news at 6:30. said 
there was over 5000 people, and even had some footage of them opening 
the gates. The problem was it was held at the race way, and the 
building was not close to the gate they opened so everyone went running 
for the building..

Re: My Pismo is dead-nothing??

more than what I left here..:

Now it is my turn to have my Pismo go dead. It is an upgraded G3 to 
G4/550 with 1 Gb RAM and standard otherwise.

 It does nothing--no chime no lights.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
I had my lombard do that one day, Unpluged all the power and left it 
over night (it seemed to be hotter than normal), I got lucky it started 
the next day, all fine and dandy.

But then within a few months it died and stayed dark.  I had to replace 
the sound card and the power supply card. I think the problem was the 
sound card, but since I was there I did both to be safe (it's such a 
pain to get in there) and I lucked into the parts via a lombard 333 
bottom complete and working with no display. Though they busted the 
inverter board taking it apart.

My wife's Pismo has a small break (stress I guess) between the track

I have both a 400 Mhz Lombard and a 400 Mhz Pismo which my wife uses,

When I went to install OS X on the pismo (I did it first just to test 
X) I reformatted the drive and reinstalled 9.2.2 and then loaded OS X.2 
on after updating to 9.2.2. With the lombard I just made sure it was 
updated to 9.2.2 and again had no problem doing a fresh install using 
my OS X.2 disc and then using software update to get to OS X.2.8. I 
guess I'm one of the lucky ones since I have no problems with OS X on 
these older laptops.

I would have to agree with this statement, if you can get the machine

The main drive in my wife's pismo is making some strange noises and 
hangs while on the net, often having to have the permissions repaired

the computer has little data on it and is more of an internet portal

If you are dead in the water, so to speak, it would seem a power 
issue (duh).  So, you may want to check the sound card as it is where 
the power adaptor connects to the computer.  A take apart slide show 
can be found here:  http://homepage.mac.com/sysop/PhotoAlbum7.html

I am suprised that there haven't been more suggestions.
OK, sorry to come into this so late, but I have been traveling... 
However, immediately before I left I was inside my lombard because it 
would no longer power on. just dead in the water.. I have the 
service manual and the flow chart states...

Replace the power supply card first, (which is the card below the track 
pad that the battery's plug in to) and if that doesn't fix it, then to 
replace the sound card which is where the AC cord plugs in. I will 
say it's a long battle to the inside of the machine you even need 
to remove the display to do it..

When I did this with my lombard the PS card didn't seem to help and 
immediately after replacing the sound card I got no results, but after 
waiting over night, when I put in a battery it started up no problems 
and I am back to using it again. :-)

Very hard to tell what's wrong. So, you tried all reset, Command + 
Control + Power and nothing? It could be quite a few things: the 
processor has burned up, the logicboard or the PMU...
I have tried all the resets, the little button on the back, removed all 
power, even the PRAM battery for a few hours and still nothing. C+C+P 
did nothing when it was locked up. I have removed my drive and 
installed another and it still will not power up.

One thing I did notice was when I left a battery in it overnight I 
found the battery drained the next day, it recharged fine in the 
Pismo...

My Lombard, It's dead Jim

[Alan Miller]

Hello again listers, I left this list long ago as I was on too many 
lists, mostly lurking. and because my Lombard was running great. I 
even went to OS X.2.8

Then just before the holidays it locked up as I have never seen. I 
couldn't force quit anything and the three finger salute did 
nothing. so reluctantly, I pulled the plug, now it's dead!

It will not power up or make any noise with any of the 3 power cords I 
have nor any of the good batteries my only saviour is my wife has 
this Pismo and since I had a hard drive expansion bay case, I was able 
to put my hard drive in it, and start up from my drive. So I have the 
ability to get to my data by fooling this pismo into thinking it's my 
lombard.

Any suggestions for making the lombard breath again I know my wife 
will want her machine back when she gets back from work, and I really 
don't want to have to replace the lombard.

TIA

Re: Digital camera

 Personally, while I still prefer chemical for serious stuff, I find
 myself wishing I had a good digital camera. I haven't bought one yet,
 because I can't afford the quality I want. :-) So, I keep shooting
 chemical, being careful on what I shoot (because of the cost) and
 scanning the better results.

My solution was to get a very cheap (less than $200 used) digital camera and
use it for things I know I want to distribute only via the www. This way I
still have quality with no more investment (film) and digital when needed
(mostly eBay stuff), and I can still take my high quality film images I
create underwater and scan them if I really need them on the web.

Until I can afford a digital camera that can equal Kodachrome (and someone
starts making them) I will stick with film. by the way, the digital
recorders respond to light differently than film too, so if you were to
shoot identical images on film and digitally you will see a difference
beyond just pixels.

Both formats have their place in life, and will for some time, but I must
say I was told in 1990 while working in a high end camera store in
Rochester, NY that film cameras would be dead in 10 years because of
digital. It's been 13 and they are still making film cameras, granted they
are suffering a slump in sales growth due to digital, but not dead..
yet.

 I've been having similar problems with my Lombard since I started using

 remove the card to bring the 'book to work. snip Wireless is the new
 aspect to
 the computer so it is suspicious to me. I don't have any answers yet.

I have started a full nuke and pave..

I have an internal Airport card, can't easily remove it...

It works great most of the time. I only have problems with long sleeps, if
it's under 10 minutes it's OK and will work. Even when I started the NP I
found sometime I couldn't get video even when starting up from CD...

Sometimes it would start up fine, making all the correct noised (I have
platinum sounds active) as I could hear the control strip start up and if I
hit the power button I could tell it to sleep (hit S after power button) or
even shut down with return. A PRAM zap would bring it back for startup but
if it went to sleep it would loose video.

 First things first, zap the PRAM. It's entirely possible that something went

 command-option-P-R during boot. Hold these keys down until you hear the

Or try the reset button on the back of the machine, on the right side as you
look at it from the rear. Its a small button between the modem and video ports
marked with a small triangle in a circle. The button is slightly recessed so you
will need a pen point to push it...

 I did not mean to disparage film... Just a very personal reaction to a
 device that is more intuitive now than it used to be.

None taken, film and digital images are still different as the both handle
light differently. It's just easier to get feedback with your digital images
due to the faster results, shortening the learning curve. Both will still
require some learning. Film just uses silver ;-( so it costs more.

I think a cheap used digital like a 1.3 mega pixel for under $150 is a great deal

But if you are going to use it as your only camera then I agree that film is
still a higher quality item.

 Thinking of getting an SMC Barricade Turbo wireless router. (To

 Anybody with experience with this machine (or other SMC wireless

Well my SMC barricade (sorry not wireless) router died 2 weeks ago after a
few power outages (4 according to the test pages spit out by my printer)
during an ice storm.. so I called tech support as it was less than a
year old.. the tech gave me some info after trying to revive it over the
phone, he said call CS in 24 hours... I did and in 2 days I had a
replacement.. no questions asked, no need to even see the receipt...
just send back the dead one...

All I can say is good company, as I have only had good experiences with them
and their product...

Re: new PB

 Greetings all,
 I've decided to retire my PB 1400 w/G3 upgrade (unfortunately never as

 like to get a dependable 3 hours at a sitting.  I suppose I could carry an

 Thanks, M

You might be able to find a G3 333 'Lombard for that. Heck a 400
'Lombard' will usually give you DVD too, but that will push it up to 6-700$

 Just two, from friends who think they're upgrading with newer printers, or

I can get them from the local hospital surplus store, usually free of charge,
but in unknown condition, and most are for PC,s but I often see HP Laser 3,
and 4's, and other things.

I however did not look closely today as I have already removed, and used a LW
Pro 630, a LW 12/640 w/ duplexer and sheet feeder (I think it just died at
3.45 million prints will need to look closer).

I just got the LW 8500 to work today. It was also free with only 10,000
prints, but I now see a streak down the middle of the prints, even after I
put in the free new toner cartridge they gave me. It's either the fuser or
laser/copy assembly but I will need to try one more test. I think it's the
laser/copy assembly. Anyone got one around? cheap?

Re: shutting down pb pismo

 Reasons to shut down your Mac every night (even though Apple says it's ok so
 sleep it):

 1.  It is a waste of electricity.

 2.  If their is a power surge, spike or outage in your area it could damage or
 destroy your computer.

 3.  Shutting down and restarting your Mac dumps the memory heaps and resets the
 system solving a ton of potential issues.

 4.   A colder computer is a happier computer.  Constant heat form even nominal
 operation will reduce the longevity of your mac.

 5.  Leaving your Mac on all the time is the equivalent of leaving your car idling
 all the time.  The tires won't wear, the transmission won't wear, and your
 headlights won't burn out, but it's still running.

Kyle,

 I thought I would switch to another brand ;-)

What about the SMC Barricade? Anyone have any comments about this router?

Anyone seen any router comparison lists?

 Is anyone out there familiar with the PowerLogix

 Before you even go that far.

 Read this:

 People are still waiting.

OK the G3's were/are a problem, the first question was about the G4's...

anyone have any stories on the G4 upgrades for Lombard's? Is it a good upgrade
that works?

OK their customer service is suspect too. but I have not had any
problems with their ZIF carrier card I have in a 7500...

 A G4/500 for Lombard? I've never heard about this. Who is making it?
 PowerLogix?

Correct: http://www.powerlogix.com/products/bluechip4.html

Good Bye

[Alan Miller]

I will be out of town for a week, as I must go to work, so I will rejoin when I
return from the Cayman Islands chasing that great photograph I don't have yet!

This way I won't be overloaded with emails while I am gone.

Introduction and Lombard upgrade questions

[Alan Miller]

Hello,

I am new to the world of powerbooks, but not the LEM lists as I am (and have
been for some time) on the PCI, and other lists.

I just acquired a G3 333 Lombard (24x CD, 1 battery good for 3+ hours, floppy
and yoyo power cord) for an unheard of $200.  :-)  It has 192 MB RAM, 4G HD, and
is running OS X (10.1) but does not have classic installed. As I am new to both
the powerbook and OS X I was looking for pointers.

First would be the max RAM for this machine? According to Apple system profiler
it has 64 in the bottom and 128 in the top. Anyone have suggestions for
upgrading and a good place to get more RAM?

How about a HD upgrade as I know 4G won't go far.

Any other suggestions for this machine would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
