Re: Lombard frying batteries???
You are spending money like buying a Ti to repair a Lombard - WHY ? There is no PMU board on a Lombard - so what is being replaced/repaired ? Even if you are sending it away, take yer HD out - really easy in a Lombard A: I like the Lombard/Pismo form factor much better than the TiBook form factor. Also, the Lombard, if I spread the upgrades out over a long enough time, it'll pay for itself in productivity. Plus, the Lombard is much easier to upgrade... Sorry in my attempt at brevity I managed to lose all coherence - blame the ale ! I was trying to say, why pay that much for a repair - you could buy a couple of complete ones for that price ?!! B: I had no clue that there was no PMU on the Lombard. Thanks for telling me. Well, there is no PMU board, there is a power board under the trackpad, so I guess it is that one, a pretty cheap and easy to replace part. C: I know how easy it is to remove a HD on a Lombard, and I've rebuilt a PB 190 from parts, so I know how to do that stuff. You were concerned about sending the machine away with all your stuff on it, I was pointing out that it is a 10 second job to remove it on a Lombard, probably easier than any other Powerbook, so there is no need for that worry. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: accessing mpeg video files on OS X ?
A relative in England has sent me two MPEG files but Quicktime does not recognize or play them.

Re: Lombard frying batteries???
I dont know why, but I have had _zero_ luck bringing any third party WS or lombard batteries back to life. BTI or Newertech. Well, I called NewerTech and they think it's a bad PMU, but I still want a second opinion. They did say that they could get approval for another replacement, if I wanted to, however. So, are there any other symptoms of a bad PMU other than fried batteries? I really don't want to ship my machine off, because it's got all my stuff on it, and it's got a couple of cracks in the lower case, and one to the left of the LCD on the inside of the lid that I don't want to stress any more than I have to. Also, before I forget, does anyone know the keyboard combination to force the fans to come on, because I suspect that mine has a bad fan, as well. *sighs as he's planning on spending the price of a used TiBook to get the Lombard fixed* Mate Not sure what you are saying here ...

Re: Subscribing to Google Groups *without* a Google Mail account
Once you subscribe to the list, you'll have to create an account on Google with your current email address. I am considering not moving to Google... I'm starting to resist this constant request to create new accounts everywhere... I have a two page list of them now and just keeping track of them all is getting to be a pain... I realize that to a large extent the spammers make this necessary, but it's also a marketing ploy akin to put your business card in the bowl and win a prize so we can target you for advertising. I'm not directing this specifically at the last poster but rather the barrage of emails about this change. I really can't see what the issue is. Any and all google groups you want to join, on any subject are managed from one place just the same way that any and all yahoo groups or topica groups etc. are managed. You log on once and fill in a very short form and give whatever details you choose to, truthful or not, all you need is ANY email address, a nickname, and a location and that's it as far as I can see. You then get an email to verify that you exist and that's it. That's all it takes. Then with each list that moves or you want to join, you send the subscribe email from that email address, you get back an email asking you to confirm that you really do want to subscribe and you are away ... At least that's how it all works for me. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Pismo Power Jack
In addition to have physically incompatible connectors and jacks, the power requirements for the new PowerBooks are different than the old PowerBook so, unless you would heavily modify the Audio/Power board, that wouldn't work, methinks, and could potentially be harmful to your old PowerBook. Laurent is correct on this one. The G4 PowerBooks use a 65W power supply, compared to the 45W supply of the G3 series. The voltage is the same 24V, though. I'd advise keeping on with the YoYo, but that's just me. The early G4s were 45W, as are all the iBooks AFAIK. Wattage isn't critical here, the adapter which can supply 65W will work fine with a 45W machine. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: on line privacy
I'm no expert (and don't work at or for an ISP) but I haven's seen any kind of ISP-level spam filtering that's acceptable to me. I don't want even one false positive a day, let alone a week, and I don't want to have to frequently check for them at an ISP (or domain host's) web interface. I'd rather sort through Mail's Junk folder many times a day and catch the almost daily legit mail that gets put there. I agree completely and I've struggled time after time to convince my ISP that I want the right to opt out of their filtering. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: on line privacy
Why are you staying with them if they don't give you the choice? I wouldn't stay with an ISP that forced me to use their filtering any more than I would with one that forced me to use MSN. Earthlink is my ISP, and PowWeb.com is my domain host (and it is a snap to simply turn off all their protection schemes). Otherwise, I'd go elsewhere. Because that is just one part of a package ? Price, support, reliability etc. You will struggle to find one in UK that even gives you a choice to opt out, in my experience many don't even let you sift thru a spam folder. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: WallStreet upgrade: enquiries and ruminations
Wallstreets and similar machines (Beige G3, for example) have problems with high density chips, and more particularly high density chips on one or both sides of the stick. Even low density chips on both sides of the stick can be a problem. Later machines, say, BW and Lombard/Pismos do not have these same issues. Sorry to be picky, but I think that Lombards do have the same problem but Pismos are fine. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Powerbook battery
I'm trying to help a friend get a powerbook going. it is a 867 mgz 15 inch that we can't get the battery out of. how does the latch work on the battery. Use a small coin to twist the latch to point the little dot to the open-padlock position, then you can lift the battery out. This is not that kind of battery latch. it has a bar that is supposed to slide to one side and let the battery go but it doesnt work right. IRRC when you have the machine flipped over it slides fully left to be open, the battery should pop up a little, if not flip the machine back and it should drop out. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: WallStreet DVD-ROM issue, perchance?
Should have got me a Pismo, by the look of it. But, well, I have this WallStreet and it's here to stay, and I intend to use the living hell out of it. So, yeah . . . Any idea about how to procure a budget-conscious bootable DVDROM drive for the WallStreet? I'm being offered one for 80 USD, which somehow strikes as a ripoff, especially considering that the postage will eat up another 30 . . . I don't think I'm ready to spend that much for a mere DVDROM; ideas, anyone? If you already have a (presumably faulty) dvd/cd drive for the machine, you can remove the drive unit from the carrier (remove the 2 #0 screws on either side of the chassis, apparantly not the two on the 'top' of the unit, and slide the drive out of the carrier, then just slide in a new one. i found a compatible laptop ide drive on pricewatch.com or on computergeeks.com for around $50. A friend had a spare slot loading drive that he gave to me... i swapped the drive with my original DVD-ROM, and now i have a bootable CD/DVD drive, and CD-R capability. Whoo! Not on a Wallstreet, which I think is what the OP was asking.

Re: Hi! (and Pismo DVD-ROM issue)

Re: Pismo battery revival?
Hello, I had a Pismo battery that showed four green lights when the button on the side was pushed. I let it sit for a few weeks without power and now only one battery light blinks green. Is the battery dead and can I revive it somehow? The blinking light means it is flat. Getting to 4 lights doesn't mean that the battery is A1, I have seen many that claim to fully charge but only last ten minutes under load. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: more Lombard display and DVD issues
1) Display is dark (image is there, but no back illumination; also S-video out works fine to TV). I have ruled out the backlight (replaced a know-good display assemblywith good backlight) and the inverter. This leaves a possible fault on the motherboard, as the cables are part of the display assembly. Does anyone know whereabouts on the motherboard to look for possible damage (hoping to find visible damage, such a blown capacitor or so). Or what other bits could be responsible for such behaviour? Had exactly this on a machine on Friday, bad logic board, weird thing was it would pop back when the machine warmed. Couldn't see nay damage on the board so suspected broken track nor connector 2) This is a 400 MHz with DVD drive. Booting in OS9, system profiler informs me that DVD decoder is present. However, when I try to play a DVD, I get the message saying that this computer can't play DVDs. As anyone seen and/or solved this?

Re: Two PBs, one problem...
I have two G3 Pbooks: One Lombard, one Pismo. Both have the dreaded won't start up anymore problem, which appears to be an issue with the mini board containing the AC plug (female end). I've seen quite a few vendors selling replacement cards (a little under $40 for the Lombard, nearly $70 for the Pismo), and from the pages at PBFixit.com it doesn't look to tough for me to hack. My question is, has anyone else done this kind of surgery on their old Pbook, and is there anything you'd advise to someone who hasn't done it before? Are you sure the cards are the faulty e.g. obviously damaged or by checking them against a known good machine ?

I'll second the suggestion to leave the 'Book plugged in for a week or so and then see if it'll fire up. I've had several PowerBooks fail to boot after sitting unused for months.

Re: Lombard display lines
There is a thin, magenta (on a white background) line running vertically through my display, about three inches in from the right side. It's really annoying, but not critical. However, I'd like to know what could cause this. The line showed up first when I was watching a DVD under OS 9, and it hasn't gone away since I rebooted into OS X. I cleaned the display about two minutes prior to the line showing up, and a second line has appeared of a red hue, as I type this email. I really hope the display isn't failing on this machine, but you never can tell. Sounds like a line of bad pixels. Can be caused by bad cable or VRAM IIRC but is usually an LCD problem. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Pink Hue on Pismo display
Mad Dog Tom and Lisa Peters [EMAIL PROTECTED] have suggested that it's a failing backlight. It is the backlight, you really don't need to worry until it fails, but when it does you will have serious trouble seeing anything on the screen. It's sort of like a florescent lamp going bad. Just takes longer to warm up. It is, I've been using one with this symptom in my test rig for about 18 months and it has gradually got worse but is still fine when warmed up. Replacement second hand LCDs aren't stupidly expensive these days, so personally I'd hold out until you can't bare it any more and replace it with one from eBay or wherever. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Airport problem with 10.4.3
After upgrading to 10.4.3, I lost the ability to connect to my Base Station. I noticed that shortly after the release of 10.4.3, there was an update for Airport and installed it, but it made no difference. Also, like other people, I received a message about airport needing access to my keychain. I thought nothing of it, because it seemed quite normal, since there was a new version of the Airport software, and authorized it.

Re: Wallstreet and Duo
Hi Yes the duo adapter will power the wallstreet but i may not charge the battery at the same time. you might need to sleep the wallstreet to charge the battery. Completely correct. The same connector is used on 1400, 3400, Wallstreets, Lombards, Pismos, Clamshells. It's the same connector but a lower wattage adapter.

Re: lombard DVD decoder
Does the DVD decoder on the lombard motherboard work under X ? If you mean the built-in decoder on the 400 MHz models, absolutely. (I cannot comment on the 300 MHz models). You may need to use PatchBurn if you have updated your media bay to include a CD/DVD-ROM-R-R/W drive. With the super drives which are in the distributor inventory right now, mainly the Pioneer DVR-K05 and Panasonic UJ-845S, you will probably have to use PatchBurn in order to cover all variations of DVD media. The built-in decoder works well. DVD writing is reliable at 2X, usually reliably at 4X, and fails at greater than 4X, and that failure is on account of the poor grounding provided within the media bay itself. These same drives will not fail at any speed if installed as directed, using an 80-wire/40-pin cable. I thought the DVD DECODER was for reading movies ?

Re: Wallstreet max HO size?
Again, which means what ? It runs slow ? It doesn't work ? The machine will lock up, and fail to get past the flashing icon. Initializing the drive in another machine (BW, for example) and then putting that drive in an affected PowerBook won't work as the affected PowerBook will not auto-negotiate and, therefore, cannot read the boot code off of the drive and into the FLASH ROM on the motherboard. This affects certain new world PowerBooks (Lombard, Pismo, and possibly others), which read the boot code off of the drive and into a FLASH ROM before proceeding to do the actual Mac OS boot. The last old world PowerBook (Wallstreet) appears to be OK. I presume the first G3 (Kanga) is OK, too. Strangely, the first new world desktop (BW) is OK, but the first few new world PowerBooks (Lombard and Pismo) are not OK. Interesting, I'm astonished that in about 50 HD upgrades to Lombards, Pismos and later with drives 20GB and larger that I've never seen this issue. Both makes of drives and model within make. OW has documented those which they sell which won't work with Lombard and Pismo machines. I've documented those which are not sold by OW, but which I have specifically tested for compatibility with Lombard and Pismo machines. I wasn't able to find anything on OWC, can you provide links to these lists for us all to benefit ? In general, stay away from all Samsungs, and also from the latest Hitachi/IBM and Toshiba drives for these machines. Not yet used a Samsung, usually WD, Fujitsu and Toshiba.

Re: Lombard problem
Since the logic board swap failed, I feel that leaves me with one of two choices: The sound board or the power board. Which would be the most likely suspect? Well the machine won't run with out the power or sound board, I was suggesting swapping for a known good one. The machine is powering up (green light and fan running), so its probably not the sound/AC board. Bad Sound board on a Wallstreet can cause that symptom. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Pismo and dead CD/DVD
We have two Pismo 400 power books that the CD/DVD drives are dead in. What is the cheapest and effective way to try and get some more use from them? Once in a while it will recognize a disk. Is this a common problem with these computers. Neither one of us have had any luck find a suggestion as to what would be a simple and good solution. Replace the mechanism. I'd wager it is a DRN-8080 - they are very unreliable. Buy another mechanism and slot it in place and you are away.

Re: iBook G3 G4 12 14 MoBos
Nope. The battery connector on the 12in is soldered on the logic board whereas on the 14in they are on a cable off the board IIRC. it is for the larger size of the 14. there is no way to modify the boards? Didn't seem easy when I looked at it - I didn't even consider it an option when trying to repair a 14in btw. i guess that the 12 g3 and g4 are indeed interchangeable. No idea, I've never looked at a G4 board. Even within the G3 12in, there are a number of different board sizes and you may need the metal frame as well as the logic board to do swap. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Wallstreet probs
Just to clarify: Wallstreet II motherboards had a Rage LT chip on the bottom? That's how I tell the difference? My CPU's are labeled, one is a 233MHz, no cache, found some pics on the web, and the other is a 292MHz. ALL the mobo's I have have the LT chip on the bottom. What's weird is a couple of the powerbooks had these CPU's in them with the mobo with the LT chip. Maybe they were replaced with the wrong ones or something. So how do I know for sure if it is a Wallstreet II mobo or not? Or CPU for that matter if its not labeled? Is there a website? Thanks! What's the serial number by the PCMCIA slot. Many of the later Wallstreet logic boards had PDQ on that s/n, otherwise just list the s/n and we can look it up. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: upgraded Lombard RAM - 256 MB only recognised as 128 MB
Hi all, I recently bought a G3 Lombard 333 MHz for sofa surfing etc; it was originally equipped with 128 MB RAM (2x64) which I exchanged by 2x256 MB/PC133/CL-3 modules. Unfortunately, the Lombard only recognises each of the modules as 128 MB. I would have expected that, if the modules are incompatible, they wouldn't be recognised at all, cause instability or whatever. But in fact, the PB is running fine. Is there any trick to force the PB to recognise the full capacity? You need a low density module - the one you have probably has 8 chips on it, you need one with 16. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: question about PowerBook model names
I've never memorized the names and characteristics of the last several models of G3 PowerBooks. I know the last two, the G3 400 and 500 circa 1999 and 2000, have (and may be called) Bronze Keyboards, but what is their official name? The 400/500 was the Powerbook (Firewire) or better known as the Pismo. The 333/400 was the Powerbook G3 (Bronze Keyboard) or Lombard. And what about the model prior to that, the 1998? That model looks much like the 400 and 500 but the battery shape is different and the logo placement on the screen frame is: a small rainbow Apple logo at the bottom center of the screen frame, the word logo PowerPC at the top center of screen frame, and the word logo PowerBookG3 near the lower left corner of the screen frame. (The 400/500 has a white Apple logo at top center of the screen frame, and PowerBook at bottom center of screen frame.) Powerbook G3 series or Wallstreet. (Note: I'm asking because I recently received several new VST battery and charger sets for these models and I want to post them with proper naming convention to the LowEndMac list.)

Lombard and Pismo use the same battery and external battery charger.
I know the WallStreet, Lombard and Pizmo all use the same CHARGER;
the WallStreet had different sized battery/CD-DVD/floppy. {I know
nothink re: the Kanji..}
I said external battery charger, I made no mention of mains adapter.
The 3500 or Kanga uses a different battery and external battery charger to
the other G3 Powerbooks but can use the same mains adapter as the other G3
Powerbooks.

In 9.2.2 after the 9.2 splash screen you get a error message that says the built in memory test has detected a problem with cache memory.

Re: Lombard meets Pismo in the operating room...
Hello All, I have a Lombard 366 333 ? with a bad key board and a Pismo 500 that will not power up at all. Pull the PRAM battery and main battery and try again. I want to swap out the KBs if possible. Does any one have any idea if it is, or know that it is not possible? They are identical on the keys BUT the plugs to the logic board are completely different. Also pc66 RAM vs. pc100 RAM; are they interchangable? Well you can run 100 in a machine that needs 66, in general. Some machines like Wallstreet and Lombard can only address low density chips so a 256 may show as a 128. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Lombard 333/400 processor cards
I assume the Lombard 333 and 400 MHz cards are interchangable, is this correct? (I know Pismo processor cards are not swappable with Lombard's). Yes. Also, for those Lombards with DVD playback facilities, is this part of the processor card or of the motherboard? It's a chip on the motherboard. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Wallstreet charge probs
My new-to-me Series II Wallstreet 266 definitely has battery issues - won't charge a new battery in either bay. Got it to see the battery in both bays, briefly with lightning charge indicator, then nada...back to red X through the icon on restart, etc. PMU reset ineffective. I'm thinking probably needs new PMU, but that's just a guess. Anybody here had (and fixed) similar problems with their G3 'Book? You need to be sure that those batteries will charge in another known good machine, then fault find yours. -- I'm reasonably sure that a *brand new* battery should charge in its intended PowerBook without any major glitches in the process. Missed that. I have had 3rd party batteries that were bad on arrival and never charged, an external charger is useful for that. The more I Google and read up on the subject the more I begin to suspect a faulty Power Charge Inverter. Can anyone tell me if they think I'm homing in on the problem and its probable fix? Not sure which board you are talking about here. I'd strip the machine, check that all the boards are correctly seated - the Charge Board can become detached from the Power Board. Check also that the EMI shielding near the DC socket isn't shorting to the metal plug. Beyond that, you really need a good machine to test with, other wise you are buying parts at random - there are 5 or 6 boards that could be at fault here. I've several times found a bad Sound Board can stop batteries charging, after that I'd suspect the Charge, PMU, Power in that order, but that's just my experiences. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: New iBook now or wait until after Tiger is launched?
Hi all, I am contemplating purchasing a new 12 iBook G4 for my wife, who needs it for her work, as she's using my old Pismo G3, which is just too big and heavy for her to carry around. I understand that OSX Tiger will be released soon. Does that mean that Apple will be upgrading it's iBooks to accommodate the increased memory and CPU requirements of Tiger? Having said all that, should I wait until after Tiger is released to see if Apple bumps up the specs of the iBook? I'm not in a rush - my time frame is about 1 month... Wait.

Re: Tiger Release
But they list clamshell iBooks which had 4MB of Video RAM and up to what, 466MHz processors with a max of what 768MB RAM? The Pismo came with 8MB Video RAM, up to 500MHz processors and a max of 1GB RAM. Doesn't make sense...what could be the limiting factor? The later clamshell iBooks had 8MB VRAM and an ATI Rage Mobility 128 (AGP 2x) graphics card. The Pismo had 8MB and ATI Rage Mobility 128.

Re: Mainstreet/Lombard conundrum
I have a Mainstreet and a Lombard, both in good shape. I want to upgrade one of them for everyday use until I can afford a new laptop. I have 2 uses other than normal stuff: 1. I have an ap that uses a 2nd monitor (or TV) for general use by an audience. If you *must* know, it's a karaoke ap. Say what you will ;) It also uses an external firewire hard drive. I have a Newer Firewire cardbus card. 2. I want to be able to watch DVDs when I take the train across country. I can upgrade the Lombard's cpu by sending it in. I can upgrade the Mainstreet's cpu by purchasing an upgrade and installing it myself. I'm not even sure if you can upgrade a Mainstreet to watch DVDs, or if they make an internal (slide-in) DVD drive for them. Suggestions, thoughts? If I understood the question I could offer a suggestion. Both machines run the FW HD without upgrade. Both machines run DVD with the DVD drive and a hardware Decoder.

Re: is my iBook screwed
http://www.apple.com/support/ibook/faq/ Mine did that. Very un-nerving experience. Find out if your serial number matches the range in this kb article. They all do. It covers all G3s. If so, call Apple and arrange a dispatch. They will send you a box via DHL overnight. You box it up and send it off. It'll be back inside three days. And you'll get a new logic board to boot. Only if they agree it is the video chip at fault and there is no other issue. AND you are not in UK. We have to take ours to a dealer. Who may 9 weeks later tell you that you have a non-repairable fault. Which is in fact a screen fault they caused, fixed by reseating the data cable in the LCD - or I could have accepted their 750 USD repair quote. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: SV: iBook screen went black
This is the G4 iBook, 1.2 Ghz, 12 - new November 2004. Take it into Apple for repair ? the _screen_ itself that goes black or very dark, not the machine that isn't powering up. It is on, the light on the screen is just out. The book is on, and works correctly I think, only the light on the screen does not work. I can see what is on the screen vaguely if I hold it up against the light, just enough to see the cursor so I can manage to turn it off, re-start or something like that Backlight not working.

BTW. Stay away from the 233 cacheless and from any 12 and 13 screen.

I agree with the 12in FTSN, if you intend running X. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Wallstreet-more confusion
Is one with a 12 screen really the exact same size overall as those with 13.3 and 14.1 screens, and even Lombards? The display have the same amount of pixels in each model on a smaller area, but the machines themselves are exactly as big as is the display house, so there's only more plastics around the 12. I had a 13 and upgraded it to 14 as I couldn't stand the size. The 12in is lower res - 832 x 624 rather than the 1024 x 768 of the 13 14. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: wallstreet part
Hello, On a Wallstreet, when removing the memory module, I can see, to the left, is a black circle with a piece of square black plastic around it. Is that a key processor component, or plastic to hold other parts? Thanks.

Re: Can I monitor my network?
what I want to see is simply the traffic levels; that is, to be able to look at this and determine that yes, there is another computer connected to my network. Does the ABS not tell you what devices are connected to it - I'm guessing here as I use a Netgear router - which does. Also can you restrict the network to certain MAC addresses, that and an unguessable WEP password makes you pretty tight IMHO. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Pink screen
I have a Pismo 500. Everything works just hunk dory. But I occasionally get the 'pink screen'. Starts in the lower left hand corner and in its worse case it stretches up about 2 inches into the screen. Sort of fans out from the corner. Does not matter if the Pismo is running on batteries (a 6600mAh 10.8v Li-Ion) or if it is plugged in. Doesn't matter if its on my desk at home or somewhere else. Does not appear on a fresh start up. Only appears after the Pismo has been awakened from sleep mode. Screen is fine. No missing pixels. I do have a Belkin 54g wireless card inserted into the pc slot. So what's the diagnosis? Will it get worse? Can it be repaired? Expensive? DIY or best left to an Apple tech person? Backlight or inverter board. Often gets better as it warms up - I have a screen which is like that on power on and returns to normal after after 2 minutes. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: anyone familiar with this problem?
Thanks Bruce--it's a Wallstreet (thanks VERY much for laying the options out, too).

Re: anyone familiar with this problem?
Re my distorted screen problem, and following on from your much appreciated responses, it turns out my 1998 Wallstreet is a 14.1 inch screen. (I understand the Wallstreet 13.3 inch screen model has recognised problems with its cables but not usually the case with the 14.1 inch screen.) The symptoms are the same, so I'm going to stick to the diagnosis of a bad cable or cable connection. Better than the alternative, which is that the video ram is failing, in which case it's new logic board time for you. Me too, never seen a machine with bad VRAM that was variable. Get it opened up and check the cables. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Lombard overheating?
Normally I hardly hear the fan on my 333mhz Lombard, but sometimes after using it for awhile on my lap or bed the fan suddenly gets louder and warm air is pushed out the left side. This has not yet happened while using it on a desk. At first I'd panic and shut down as soon as possible. When I grew tired of this I started keeping it on but moving it onto a desk. Normally the exhaust fan then stops after a few minutes. I suppose this is the computer's way of cooling itself when getting too hot? My question is, is this a normal thing I can ignore, or is it a warning to shut down for awhile? Sounds like exactly what I'd expect it to do - if it gets warm, the fan comes on - something like bedding isn't a cooling surface, so I'd expect it to come on more often than on a desk. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: My Pismo is dead-nothing??
Thanks to Malcolm, Laurent and others who commented. Nothing has worked-- I have another very basic Pismo on the way thanks to eBay and I will start with the Pram go from there. I will let you know the results. It'll run without the pram so I'd stat with the under trackpad powerboard and the sound board at the back.

Re: My Pismo is dead-nothing??
It'll run without the pram so I'd stat with the under trackpad powerboard and the sound board at the back. I thought the pismo had some design quirk whereby it wouldn't start with a dead PRAM battery, but would if you bypassed the battery altogether. Or am I thinking of some other Mac?

Re: My Pismo is dead-nothing??
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. I think it is getting power thru the yo-yo since it gets warm on the back side--pretty much as normal. The battery is minimal so i am sure it is exhausted by now and doesn't seem to recharge when left overnight. I have tried a few things as suggested by others--removed keyboard and all looks as normal, disconnected Pram battery connector to clear battery, (reset switch had not worked), and plugged in USB keyboard to see if that would bypass on-off switch. I have not disassembled to check set of components--they appear OK. It was operating as normal and a few days ago, I transferred some files via the ethernet to my G4 and all was well. My grandson then used it on the internet and all seemed OK. Thru this operation, I had noticed more whirring noise from the computer that seemed unusual-- like a fan sound or maybe the hard drive. It had always been relatively quiet so it made me wonder but not too significant. Then later when I went back--it had gone dark like asleep--but the noise was still there--it would not restart and the LCD was off--no lights at all. Since it was late and my granddaughter was ready to go to bed in the room. I disconnected the computer and moved it to different room-- the whirring noise would not stop. It was not real loud but would have been annoying. I assume whatever was causing the noise was now powered by the remaining battery charge. Next morning all was quiet and nothing I tried made any difference. I am looking for suggestions--one possibility that was mentioned in a previous post was that a bad Pram battery could cause it to go dead. Is this true? I always thought that a bad battery would just show up in clock, etc. If it could just be the battery causing the entire problem, that might be the place to start. I do not have components for swapping so that option is not readily available. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
