Yes, I did that. I think I've found the problem. I have another 60g 
drive I use as a FW External backup for my Pismo. That drive will boot 
in the Lombard. I believe the problem is a bad Toshiba HDD. I'm going 
to contact them for a replacement.


Thanks for everyone's help and patience.

I can do both. Yet when I try to boot to the HDD, I still get the 
flashing folder or boots back to the Install Disc.

Let me restate that: I can reinstall and run repair disc. When I run 
repair permissions, about 1/3 through the process, I get a screen 
telling me

Disc Utility has lost contact with the selected drive.

Lombard Startup

[G Henry Taylor]

To be as succinct as I can...
Put a fresh copy of OS X(10.3) on an external 60g drive via my Pismo. 
Put the 60g drive into a Lombard. Lombard will not recognize the drive 
(I get either the flashing/alternating ?folder or a O with \ inside. 
Tried using OS X install disc then switching to different boot disc 
(either get the folder w/? or boots back to the install cd?.


Anyone know how to force boot to the main drive or what may cause this?

Checked memory and processor in another machine (Lombard).

TIA...

Henry

Lombard Start

[G Henry Taylor]

I'm trying to install OS X on a Lombard. Install CD freezes within the 
first 5 min of booting to the CD. I installed OS X to this HDD on an 
external FW drive from my Pismo, yet the Lombard will not boot to this 
drive. I can't seem to remember the boot commands from the keyboard to 
accomplish this. Can anyone point me in the right direction?, or some 
other fix?

Re: iBook Logic Board extended repair program x2?

[G Henry Taylor]

I have a G3 700 iBook that has been in twice for logic board 
replacement. Both times were no hassle. First time shipped from 
workplace to repair center. Second (just last month) was from AASC. 
First time it was diagnosed over the phone, second time by service tech 
at AASC. Hope this helps.


Good luck,
Henry

Greetings ...
Just curious if any of you have had to send an iBook G3 in more than
once for video issues covered by the Logic Board Extended Repair 
Program.


We sent one in several months ago and it worked well until recently, 
but

now it's exhibiting the same garbled video and blank screen on startup
issues as before the repair.

  Apple's been very cooperative and will be picking it up for 
diagnosis.

Have any of you had the "good fortune" of having your iBook repaired
more than once for this issue? Do you know exactly what it is they
diagnose/repair with this?

Like I said, just curious ...

Re: Booting from an external firewire CDwriter problem

Try just pressing the Option key. That should bring up a screen that

Re: Recommended external DVD burner?

Re: USB Flash Drive on Lombard - Good?

Use a SanDisk 512 Micro Cruizer on my Pismo. USB 1.1 is slow, but works

128mb flash drive that a friend uses with his Toshiba. Just make sure 
you unmount drive before you remove the drive.

Logic Board Problem

Can a defective logic board in my Lombard cause my processor cards to

processor cards in another Lombard, all dead. I've tested the processor 
from the working Lombard in my Lombard, boots up.

According to the G3 PowerBook (FireWire) Service Manual:

1 beep:  No RAM installed or detected.

2 beeps: EDO memory is installed. The PowerBook (FireWire) ships 
with SDRAM SO-DIMMs and does not accept EDO memory.


3 beeps: No RAM banks passed memory testing.

4 beeps: Bad checksum for the remainder of the boot ROM. The ROM 
(which is located on the microprocessor module) is bad.

Re: Getting a firewire drive

[Henry Taylor]

Not to disparage MacMall, and although I've never used them, I have 
read some bad things about their service on other forums. I believe 
there is a web site devoted to spreading that knowledge and belief. 
Just a word of caution, although I'm sure you'll hear good reviews of 
their website.


Henry





Ok, that USB drive isn't ever going to work properly with my PB so I'm
going to have to get another drive.

I've been looking at the 120 gig Fantom drive that MacMall has on
sale--anyone have any thoughts on it that I should know before I order
it?  (I do want to use it as backup and then hopefully be able to boot
from it if necessary)

Thanks!

Re: Burning DVD's on a Pismo

[Henry Taylor]

Actually, I've burned DVD from my Lombard using an external burner 
(Sony DVD RE DW-U18A - Firewire) and Toast Titanium 6. Lombard is a 
400 with no upgrade. As for the upgrade, nice to have (I want one 
too) but not necessary for your project, IMHO.


Henry




I have a Pismo 400MHz, 768 RAM, 40G running 10.3.9.

Obviously the first thing I need is the DVD burner. Probably will go 
with the internal. But I was wondering if I had enough horsepower to 
accomplish this. Anybody out there burning DVDs on a Pismo? What 
upgrades would help the most? G3 900 or G4 500? More RAM? Faster 
hard drive speed?


I am happy with my Pismo, and will probably wait for the equivalent 
of a G5 laptop before I replace it. Or maybe not if I have to put so 
much $ into this to make editing and burning DVDs practical


WegenerMedia has a pretty tempting offer on the G4 500 upgrade.

My main projects will be converting VCR tapes over to DVD and 
editing them with chapters and possible background music. We have a 
bunch of tapes and photos that I want to get on DVDs to look nice, 
share and preserve. I'd like to use my current laptop but I want to 
see what is possible before I spend too much.


Please let me know of your experiences.

Thanks!

Dan-

HD Swap

[Henry Taylor]

I have a Lombard 400 with a 30 g HD. I've just purchased a Pismo with 
a 10 g HD. Can I just swap the HD out or will there be a conflict 
with the machines. Both will have OS X 10.3.9.


Thanks,

Henry

Re: Dead Lombard

I do have access to another Lombard,  I'll try that, but I have tried 
to do this with the processor out, and still get no chimes. Just a 
thought.

That sounds a bit like a processor failure, whether the processor
daughterboard is not firmly in place, although you mention that all modules
are plugged in snugly, or the processor has failed altogether. I would
probably try to find another Lombard processor daughterboard before
replacing the main logicboard.

Re: Dead screen on dual USB iBook

[Henry Taylor]

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).

Good luck,
Henry

 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.


Could be the LCD screen, the inverter board or simply the ribbon cable that
hooks the screen to the motherboard.

It it was me, I would open the laptop and visually inspect the ribbon cable
that goes to the screen. If I could find one cheap, I would probably buy one
just to try it.

If the problem still persists, I would try to find a screen and would just
replace the whole thing. I'm not sure how you can test the inverter and I'm
not sure I would want to try to replace it.

Re: Lombard Power

Did you check the processor daughtercard? Sometimes, the card will become
unseated due to heat and other factors like vibrations and the symptoms are
pretty much what you describe. I would pull it out completely and put it
back. Check where the connectors on the card are so that you can apply all
your pressure there. Even though these are very fragile components, it is
surprising the amount of force you have to apply to get it right.

Hmm, no, sorry no idea. I've used it quite a few times and never had any

With the process of de-encrypting the DVD, are you sure that it doesn't
require a G4? Just wondering...

Re: AUGH! Ibook G4 with fried hard drive

[Henry Taylor]

   Not to miss the point of this post, but is the iBook still under 
warrenty? If so, replacement is free. If not, there are guides 
(pbfixit) that give instructions on how to take apart an iBook ( or 
any other book). That being said, taking apart an iBook is no small 
feat, though it can be done. I've not priced an airport card or 
bluetooth module, though both can be found online.

Good luck on whatever route you take, wish I could be more help.

Henry





I bought an Ibook so as not to be tempted to muck around in its 
innards.  Now, its hard drive is fried.  TTP4 indicates that 
everything else is fine, but not even DiskWarrior has been able to 
retrieve anything from the HD.  There's nothing irreplaceable on it, 
so I figured I'd just replace it.  The only local apple service 
provider wants $75 JUST TO LOOK AT IT!  I'm on disability, so doing 
things as cheaply as possible is a necessity.  How difficult is it 
to get an Ibook open?  Once I have it open, what issues do I need to 
be aware of in replacing the HD?  If I've got the sucker open, I'd 
like to drop in an airport card and maybe a blue tooth module, but 
I've got to balance total costs of replacement and upgrades against 
throwing in the towel and just buying a new Ibook, since the new 
ones have airport and bluetooth standard.  Any advice appreciated.


peace, love, and joy,

Samantha

Re: REPOST: How can I connect Wallstreet II/ OS 9.2.2 to iBook 500/ OS X 10.3.9?

fastest and easiest I think. You just connect them with a standard 6

Firewire disc mode? Unfortunately, I only have firewire on the iBook

and not on the Wallstreet II.

The Wallstreet II has USB, but only through a PCMCIA card which I have
inserted. . .

How would you recommend doing this with either an Ethernet crossover 
cable

or a pair of USB cables routed through a USB hub?

Alternatively, what else might I try?


All the best,

Dear List-mate,

How do I connect two PowerBooks, a Wallstreet II running OS 9.2.2 and 
an
iBook 500, running OS X 10.3.9 to one another, so that I can copy 
files from

one to the other?

Re: REPOST: How can I connect Wallstreet II/ OS 9.2.2 to iBook 500/ OS X 10.3.9?

[G Henry Taylor]

Try the crossover ethernet cable. I connect my Lombard and iBook (700) 
via a plain ethernet cable. The iBook will recognize the cable 
automatically. In the book you wish to copy files from, set file 
sharing on and firewall off. You should see the book in your network. 
This works for me, but I have 10.3.9 on both machines.

Hope this helps,

Henry

What about firewire disc mode? I'm not sure what powerbooks had what
capabilities, but I think they both support firewire, don't they? You
boot one machine holding down the t key I think then that machine
looks like a firewire drive to the other machine. That would be the
fastest and easiest I think. You just connect them with a standard 6
pin firewire cable. Faster than a crossover ethernet cable.

Firewire disc mode? Unfortunately, I only have firewire on the iBook 
500,

and not on the Wallstreet II.

The Wallstreet II has USB, but only through a PCMCIA card which I have
inserted. . .

How would you recommend doing this with either an Ethernet crossover 
cable

or a pair of USB cables routed through a USB hub?

Alternatively, what else might I try?


All the best,

Dear List-mate,

How do I connect two PowerBooks, a Wallstreet II running OS 9.2.2 and 
an
iBook 500, running OS X 10.3.9 to one another, so that I can copy 
files from

one to the other?

Re: Subject: Utilities

[Henry Taylor]

The program is called Onyx. I'm using version 5.2 on both my Lombard 
(400, 384, 30 gig) and my iBook (G3 700, 640, 20 gig). Both run 10.3.9. 
Get it at version tracker, just make sure you use the correct version 
for tour OS.

Ok, this one has me stumped.  I did a google search of OnXy, and while
I found a lot of messages, nothing about what the program actually
does, nor a download site with a description.  Nothing on Tucows with
that name either.  (And I'm still trying to figure out which of the
disk tool packages I might want to pick up.  :) )

Re: Panther molasses troubleshooting

[G Henry Taylor]

How much extra weight are you carrying. My iBook (G3, 700, 640 ram) was 
running slow also, but I had only 2.x gb left on a 20 g HD. I got rid 
of a lot of stuff (deleting some, moving most to an external HD) and 
now it runs much crisper. That was an easy fix for me.

Lombard OS X Install

[G Henry Taylor]

In a not so small nutshell, I have a lombard and have installed OS X 
via a firewire external HDD. All is grand. I repeated the process on a 
slightly smaller (30 vs 20 gig) and it is an abject failure. It will 
boot to the grey screen and the Apple logo, then it goes to slanted 
line (bar) through a circle. I can boot both HDD via firewire on my 
ibook and run the OS just fine. The only difference that I can tell is 
that the original HD is a clone of my iBook. The second HD was a clone 
of the iBook, but then I formatted and did a new install of OS X (this 
HD is for another Lombard).  The problem seems to be the smaller HD, as 
the larger HD works fine. I suspect the OS install is the culprit, 
though I can't tell you why. At any rate, help would be greatly 
appreciated.


Henry

Re: Wallstreet Dual-Boot Issues .....

[G Henry Taylor]

I have a friend who is interested in the "Mac experience". Can you 
furnish some details of your resale machines.

Henry

My Fellow PowerBook-philes,

I have a few leftover machines which I need to resale in order to 
recoup

the costs of the infamous
"Get-Ye-GF-A-Mac-Laptop-Before-She-Flies-To-Italy" incident.

Well.  One of them is real nice, an upgraded Wallstreet to 466 Mhz
and with full RAM.  I have Mac OS X.2.8 running on it.

But the screen does this funky thing where the backlight on the LCD
stops working when it boots up.  To fix it, all you need to do is hit
the "brightness" button.  When it goes to sleep, however, it seems to
not want to come back up.

I have read on Lowendmac.com (I'll find this link later) that if you
boot into OS 9, let it go to sleep, then bring it back up, boot back
into OS X then it should be fixed.  (At least until you let your
batteries die while your Wallstreet is asleep again.)

Well  sounds easy to fix, yes?  No.

I have an OS 9.1 install disk.  It is a backup copy of a broken one, so
it is a CD-R.

I can't install OS 9 with it.  (Won't boot into OS 9.)

I then tried to copy over an OS 9 folder which works booting another
Wallstreet which only runs OS 9 by copying it onto a Flash Card and 
then

back into the OS 9 folder.

No dice.  Won't boot.

What I do is go to System Preference-> Startup Disk and then choose the
OS 9 partition with the OS 9 start folder.

I then reboot and it reboots into a gray screen.  I then have to spend
the next half-hour to an hour trying to convince it to reboot into the
Mac OS X.2 install CD I have and then I have to reinstall OS X.  (BTW,
the LCD Backlight will not work when doing this.  Loads of fun.)

I'd really like to resell this computer at least at the same price I
bought it at, maybe more, and I think I would be able to do so if I
could 1) get the backlight working and/or 2) get OS 9 to dual boot on 
it.


I could really use the money in order to look into upgrading my GF's
Pismo to use iSight (if possible) or just paying down some credit cards
before I go to law school.

Does anyone have ANY ideas on what I can do???

It's such a lovely machine, I hate to have to sell it ... but the money
man calls. :-(

Sincerely,
Pacer the Loon
