Wireless for Pismo to Airport Xtreme base
What kind of card is best/compatible for a Pismo (Panther) to connect to an Airport Xtreme base? I've heard the original airport cards for the pismo are expensive so I'm hoping a less expensive and faster alternative is available for its slot.

Re: Pismo troubleshooting
I'm having a similar problem. Pismo froze, wouldn't restart. Eventually after many resets, got the HD to spin up but no boot cycle and no video (external output either). Bought an unused motherboard off ebay and installed it last night. Dead as a doornail. 7 hrs later, saw 4 green lights on the battery I used from this pismo, then it spun up like before--didn't boot. Below got me thinking processor so I put this one in to the dead machine--still nothing (I suspect a wait is nec for something to happen with power on and battery out, like my 1400 required periodically). So I put the other processor in this one, and got same symptoms. Sure looks like I need a new processor. I might as well get a faster replacement (both pismos are 400s). But which one? Is speed increase significant enough to go to OSX? I will likely have a virturally new Pismo motherboard for sale too.

With powerbook attached to the AC Adapter (no battery), press the start button, and you should hear a little contact sound at the same time the Start button is pressed (before the Startup sound).

However, it doesn't seem like the Battery Board, and since power is not=20= getting anywhere (entire machine is cold after pressing the power=20 button), that would leave the logic board, correct? What I am trying to=20= do is figure out what components would cause the Pismo to remain cold=20 dead with both a fully charged battery, and an AC power source. First and easiest thing to check is the RAM. I've seen a few Pismos refuse to boot because they had a stick of bad ram. If that's not it, try a different processor (assuming you've also checked it's not that the processor isn't fully seated on the logic board). Well, if it is a bad stick of RAM, there should be something happening.=20= HD noise, a light, the normal speaker 'click', the beeps of the=20 self-diagnostic, something. Bad RAM doesn't stop power from flowing=20 like this. On Jul 30, 2004, at 6:48 AM, Mikael Bystr=F6m wrote: Are you sure the Soundcard gives power to the I/O board?

What I am trying to do here is figure out if it is the Logic Board,=20 Processor card, or battery board that could cause a completely cold,=20 dead, lifeless Pismo. It is as if it is a door-stop.

lombard to pismo lcd

I had to use the inverter (the long skinny PC board that lies between the hinges) from the Pismo as the Lombard's had one less (or was it one more) pin where it plugged into the mother board. Everything else was the same. Two problems: It won't go to sleep when you close the lid (I have to do it manually) BUT it DOES wake up when you open the lid. And the mic doesn't work. I've not investigated either thoroughly. Jack -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

IBook M6497 HD compatible with Wallstreet's?
A friend will sell me his IBook M6497 which he dropped (and after 2 days the HD failed) cheaply. Will the HD from a Wallstreet fit in it (what does Ultra mean in front): 10GB Ultra ATA Hard Disk drive. Thanks Jack -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

cooking wallstreet 266?
My WS 266 with an added 64Mb runs its fan half of the time that it's in use (after about 30 min from awaking from sleep). The percentage of time it's on has steadily increased (it used to be about 20%) and now the fan will shut off for a few seconds and restart almost immediately. I use it on a board in my lap so air can get underneath it. I had to remove the hinge area cover to protect the video ribbons that pass over the broken clutches--have not been able to afford repair--could that be changing the inward airflow pattern and not cooling the chip as much? Powerlogix G3/g4 cache profiler reads the temp as 195 to 210 degrees F (when fan is on). Is that to be trusted for this machine, and if so, is it too hot? The original Travelstar 4Gb drive died an ugly death (heat related??) last March, replaced with a 10Gb Fujitsu. Am I going to cook it or anything else? I've checked for a blocked duct but it appears open--hot air is coming out both ports. Should I put conductive paste on the heat sink where it contacts the CPU? It doesn't appear to have ever had any. worried Jack -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
