iBook 700 and date time error on start-up

2003-07-24 Thread Michael Thompson


Hi,
Our iBook 700 running 9.2.2 has developed the strangest error. On
restart/boot, it gives a date  time error message at finder launch that
says the time zone is invalid. It also turns off Appletalk.

Anyone heard of this before or know of a fix? I've searched but not found
anything.
Thanks!
Michael

Re: Ram upgrade crashing in OSX Lombard

2003-06-23 Thread Michael Thompson

I tried to post to G-books (for the first time) and it bounced back my
message, ill havta figure that one out later.

As many as 10% of all of the first 1999 powerbook lombards had (have) a
daughtercard that has a faulty chipset.   The problems manifest themselves
in the RAM upgrades.   It has been said that they can only run the original
64 MB ram that shipped with it without trouble.   I have one and have been
running 192 MB without much trouble, i bought it used from Half.com and only
ran into trouble when i tried to add a 256 Mb module.   I immediately got
severe glitches and program crashes, slow startups etc. etc. It
absolutely would not allow me to re-install OSX without failing, untill i
put the original ram chips (that came with mine) back in... Its said that
the problems get uglier with processor intensive applications, or running
more than one application.   I am only using mine to get online and dont
suffer many problems other than AOL quiting unexpectadly...

There is a program that you can download from either the lowendmac websight
or xlr8yourmac.com.   It runs in OS 9 and will tell you if you have the
faulty processor.   I originally did a Google search for 'Lombard problems
OSX' which led me to the articles about the faulty daughtercards... I can
only hope you got bad RAM cause its a cheaper fix than replacing the
daughtercard.

RAM upgrade crashing OS X in PB Lombard

2003-06-21 Thread Michael Thompson
Hi,
I upgraded my PB G3 Lombard to 512k RAM (2x256) and now OS X crashes just as
the finder is finishing loading.

Anyone have any advice, suggestions, fixes? I've combed knowledge bases and
so far have had no luck. The RAM vendor (OWC) suggested I boot without
extensions. Clearly that tech person doesn't use OS X...
