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: Lombard frying batteries???
Caleb, did you reset the PMU? Resetting the Power Manager PowerBook G3 Series (Bronze Keyboard)computers have a reset button located on the back of the computer behind the I/O door. Press the button once to reset the power manager. The PMU is located (AFAIK) on the main logic board. There is a separate Power Supply Card (separate from the Sound Card which contains the power-in jack), located under the trackpad. I'm not sure exactly how (or if) its failure can lead to the symptoms you've described. *Not not-all-that-helpful advice* Really, the best thing to have in this sort of situation is a second identical complete working PowerBook.

Partitioning my Lombard OS9.2.2
I just got my Lombard back from Wegener's...took them 6 weeks to put a 30g HD and transfer my data, which they failed to mention was a 35.00 in addition to the 50 bucks to look at it.

Lombard frying batteries???
Dear listers, This is the second time I've had to email NewerTech support about replacing a battery, in the past month, but I'm starting to wonder if it's not my Lombard that's causing my battery problems, instead of the batteries themselves. I know the charging board is good on it, AFAIK, and the batteries did quit showing up as charged, with a corresponding light on the LED indicators on the side of the battery. Still, it's curious as to how a good company can send me two bad batteries in a row, without the possibility of a machine problem.. Well, hopefully you'll all have some good advice for me, Caleb P.S.

Re: ATA-5 and ATA-6: The differences, and why it's important was Re: Lombard
From: PeterH5322 [EMAIL PROTECTED] If both behave by the rules, then any combination works. If one behaves by the rules, but the other doesn't, then the combination is indeterminate ... might work, might not work. If both misbehave, then no combination works (Lombard and Pismo, and late Toshiba and Hitachi/IBM). It's that simple. Those who have Lombards or Pismos, and want to get into the sweet spot of $$$/GB, say, 60 or 80 GB, are going to have to look for earlier Toshibas or Hitachi/IBMs, which are quickly going out of inventory. OTOH, the new Seagate laptop models seem to be OK, although this is not from first-hand experience.

Re: ATA-5 and ATA-6: The differences, and why it's important was Re: Lombard Start
G-Books wrote on 2/11/06, 17:16: On a typical PC, users and the OS have some level of control over just *how* the IDE interface(s) communicate with their drives -- they can tell a fast IDE controller to speak s-l-o-w-l-y with less-compliant drives.

Hope this explains things :) Geoffrey Thanks very much Geoffrey this explains a lot but as most answers are wont to do this leads to another question; which is this is the ATA-4, -5,-6 designation on hard drives. Because I was given a laptop drive which I had planned to put in my Lombard when this ATA dilemma entered the picture. Now I'm trying to figure out how to determine the pedigree of this drive, which is currently residing in a firewire enclosure being prepped for the Lombard. Is it written on the drive. Or can it be determined from the drive information; such as manufacturer, model number, etc etc. Thanks for any and all assistance. -- Brad 55417-1734 Pwr Mac G4 64 MB Radeon 7000 AGP Graphics OWC Mercury Extreme 1GHZ CPU Upgrade 1.15GB Ram 9GB Quantum Fireball/ OS 9.2.2 WDC 80GB/ OS X.4.4 Pioneer DVR 105 Pwr Mac G3 BW 64MB Radeon 7000 PCI Graphics card 450MHZ CPU 1gb ram 120 gb Maxtor DiamondMaxPlus X.4.4/80gb Hitachi Deskstar Sata harddrive X.4/ 40gb Maxtor DiamondMax ATA hard drive/9.2.2 Seritek SATA Controller card/Pioneer DVR 105 OS X.3.9/ Lexmark X1185 all- in- one printer Pwrbk G3 Lombard 128mb ram/4gb hard drive/ OS X.2.8 If it's good to you, it's good for you -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Stardate 060210.12:38 -0500. A subspace message from G Henry Taylor reads: It's a refurbished Toshiba MK6021GAS 60 gig. Boots in my Pismo. Mmm, that's a compliant drive. I think it's the processor in the Lombard. I have the same problem when I try to install unbuntu to a smaller (4.35 Apple HDD) in the Lombard, How much RAM is in there? If you're adept, pop the keyboard, dive inside and remove both RAM modules and check their chip-number via Google to make sure the SO-DIMM is correctly labeled -- I've seen more than a few mis-labeled DIMMs in my time, some under-rated to the label, some over-rated. If either of them are Apple-badged, put that one back in and leave any after-market modules out (or if you replaced all Apple ones with 3rd-party's, put the Apple ones back in). To perform a stability test, boot off a Mac OS 9.1 Installer CD, launch Drive Setup, and leave it to do a drive test. This puts enough load on the CPU, RAM, and keeps the ATA bus busy. If it doesn't lock up after a test with the old RAM back in, then its the RAM. If it *does* lock up, then its the CPU that's failing. It could also be the ATA controller on the logicboard, or part of the bridge-board as well, but they're usually pretty sturdy (and if they decide to misbehave, they usually just stop dead).

lombard HD click of death??
Man, I was working on a presentation last evening using Word 2001. The bar on the paragraph ceased working but the cursor was mobile. The most hideous thing was the dreadful sounds the HD began making, nasty clicks suggesting the arm of the HD was slamming repeatedly in some sort of pre-death ritual. Anyhow, I had to pull the battery and unplug it to restart it. It did restart but of course the 2 pages of study on 1 Timothy 3 were regrettably lost. I suspect this is a precursor to HD failure. If folks could recommend a suitable replacement in the 20G or larger size, I would avoid a Western Digital as I've had several of their desktop HD's fail. Price is always an issue. Thanks in advance.

Re: Lombard won't boot
Tim, What I grew to realize with my Lombard with the bad cache is that it's just much better and easier on the book to let it sleep overnight rather then shut down. While the reset was no real hassle, allowing it to sleep is easier on the power switch anyhow, bad cache or not.So like with any system, once in a while I would reboot, just to clear things out. And once a month, I began to use the fsck method as well as DiskWarrior, simply as a matter of preventative maintenance on both my desktop and book. I do the same sleep overnight and maintenance with my new TiBook now. I never found the bad L2 cache to be an issue for me except when maybe the short time I was running OS9 on it, then it would give the alert at startup, which took a simple click of the mouse, as well as the reset. It ran much better under Jaguar, then better under Panther, and even better under Tiger (which of course requires either XpostFacto or installing Tiger on the drive, while it is hooked up to another supported system). So Caleb, definitely Panther is better then Jaguar but both ran well. That said, since I now have a newer book, I have put my Lombard up for sale, and while it has been very dependable, I will be saying bye to it soon. Dave Also, I'm not sure if you are a victim of the Lombard issue with OS X that I am :)) but to get it to start I have to push the small reset button on the back of my Lombard before every start up.

Re: Lombard won't boot.
Well, I've got my problem fixed, so thanks for all the advice. I'm going to order a new copy of Jaguar from OWC, or, if I can convince my DVD drive to read the Panther recovery DVD I have lying around, I'll install that. It took three tries to get my 9 CD to boot on my machine, so I think my early woes were caused by not holding down C long enough.

Re: Lombard won't boot
Caleb, Hold down the '9' key while booting - hopefully you'll be able to boot into OS 9. One alternative is that you may be able to do a 'safe' boot in OS X and recover your files. Just hold down the Shift key while booting - this may help prevent the 'Services' hang. Sounds like you need to repair the disk with something like DiskWarrior. If you're lucky, Apple's Disk Utility will fix it for you. Otherwise, you might be looking at a fresh format and install - hopefully you have a recent backup or are able to recover your files beforehand.

Re: Lombard won't boot
Caleb, Here's what to try. Follow carefully. Learned this from someone who knows. Have you tried fsck method? What you want to do is shut down or restart, hold down the Command and S key. You will then get a bunch of text scrolling across the screen. Once this starts, you can let off the keys. It will continue until it stops and gives you a prompt. Type in fsck -yMake sure you leave a space after the k. Then push Enter. Let it do its thing. It will begin repairing any corrupted unix files used by OSX. When it is done, you can do it again. After its says repairs have been made, then type logout If you use a Journaled Disk, then you want to type infsck -f instead. This will force repair. The regular OSX will then begin booting up. You should then restart. This has repaired some of the most major problems but instructions must be followed to the letter. If anybody would like to add to this before Caleb uses it, please do.

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? Have you tried disconnecting the monitor and cleaning the contacts as they could have a build up of dirt on them. this could prevent a contact and give a scrambled pic. or no pic at all also have you checked the cables for any damage or cracks in the strip. just tried this today to no avail. Also the connector for the video cable (on the motherboard) seems fine. The cables are attached to the display assembly and the inverter, so they can't be the culprit, as both the display assembly and the inverter work fine on another lombard. 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? To me that says the system was installed on a book with out the dvd decoder or drive present. for example a wallstreet.

Re: Lombard display lines
However, I'm still curious as to how hard it is to change a Lombard display, compared to rebuilding a PB 190 and soldering that little power connector. not sure about the 190, but the Lombard display replacement is a breeze. The most difficult bit is removing the plastic top cover sitting between the speakers to unveil the inverter, without breaking the little plastic tabs that hold it into place, so pay extra care at that step. Run a google search for Pismo LCD Scadboy to dig an easy to follow tutorial (Pismo == Lombard as far as display replacement is concerned). cheers and good luck, gianfranco -- Telefonieren Sie schon oder sparen Sie noch?

more Lombard display and DVD issues
If in X, dvd chip is disabled.

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? 2) This is a 400 MHz with DVD drive. Booting in OS9, system profiler informs me that DVD decoder is present.

Re: more Lombard display and DVD issues
It can and it can't. It will play a DVD, but it's so laggy and skips so much that I wouldn't recommend it. VLC is great on a G4 'Book, but not a Lombard. In fact, the only reason I have VLC is that 'systm', is either Ogg Theora or H.264 and I'm on X.2.8, so that rules out Quicktime 7. Boot into 9 and use Apple DVD Player.

Dan, Don't be sorry. I was expecting to replace the LCD eventually, so it's not like I was completely unprepared. The lines don't even show up on white now, so I'm not going to worry about it until more show up.

Repacking batteries (was [FS?] Lombard parts)
This discussion has been around for a while http:// www.applefritter.com/node/4555 Basically, when a battery pack goes dead, it's usually only one of the three to nine cells inside that have gone dead. Either way, the circuitry and casing are all fine, so you can just replace the cells. This gives you the advantage of having newly manufactured cells (instead of old stuff that's been put into a casing and sitting on a vendor's shelf for who knows how long) that are going to be higher capacity (using various newer manufacturing techniques). At a tremendous cost savings too. That is, if you are so technically inclined. I bought my cells from here http://www.batteryspace.com/ index.asp No trouble with the repacked batteries except they're kinda scratched from being pried open.

Lombard display lines
Dear Listers, First of all, I'm sorry to plague you with my questions, but my Lombard is acting up, so I figured here would be the best source for answers. 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.

Lombard display slightly darker at the bottom.
Dear Listers, This has been bugging me for a while, but the display on my Lombard is slightly darker near the bottom than at the top, and it's got a slight tan/brown hue to it in that area. It's not noticeable unless you're really looking, but when dealing with large white spaces, it shows up pretty clearly. The brown area seems to start about where the bottom edge of the keyboard lines up with the display and gets darker progressively towards the bottom edge of the screen. There is also a slight lighter area that is about two inches in from the right edge and goes up about 3/4 of an inch that is as bright and clear as the rest of the display. Any help would be appreciated, Caleb P.S. It is clearly not the pink hue associated with the failing backlight, though. CSC -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Wireless Lombard
I can also attest to the v.4000 Belkin not working on the Mac, but the big issue is that you really have to watch the revision numbers. Of course, the site claims the .5000 works, but tech support denies it.

Re: Wireless Lombard
It really depends on the card. As I can attest, the easiest ones are the Broadcom-based cards, because they use Apple's Airport drivers. However, they're all easy to setup, with the right drivers. Pop in, set your wireless settings like you did your wired, and it's ready to go. Caleb On Friday, Jan 13, 2006, at 16:03 America/Chicago, Tim wrote: Thanks for ALL of the suggestions!

Re: Wireless Lombard
I went wireless with my Lombard a couple of weeks ago, but all you need is a Sonnet Aria Extreme, run the 10.2.8 update and download Airport 3.1.1. Just download and install the update and Airport software, install and insert the Sonnet card in the Cardbus slot. Then, when you boot, enable the Airport card in the preferences, and that's it. The Sonnet uses Apple's Airport drivers, so you don't have to worry about a thing.

Re: Wireless Lombard
Ah, depends on what iteration of X.2. On X.2.1 - X.2.7 you can use an Orinoco/Lucent/Avaya/Wavelan etc. card with I/OExperts driver ($40 - $50 shipped for a used card on eBay, $20 for the driver)--also a benefit with those cards is that work native with airport software in OS9. I have Wavelan cards for sale for $40 each shipped. On X.2.8 and over, you can use a host of G cards like the Asante XG Friendly Net Card...$around $60 - $80 shipped, great cards, not useable in 9.

Re: G4 upgrade for Lombard?

Re: Hot Lombard
Yeah, that's real hot. One thing you might check is where the heat may be originating. Pretty easy to tell if under the dvd or just cpu. If the underside of the dvd player is also 'real' hot, it may simply be venting towards hard drive and cpu and overloading fans. Get some airspace underneath the laptop when in use. As Andrew says, don't use a pillow. With a Lombard, even a hard surface doesn't provide the best ventilation but it's better then a pillow for sure. You may be lucky that you didn't damage the processor at those temps. As I recall, that is what leads to the damaged L2 Cache. You may also want to check that your fans are working properly, like no shorts or 'linted' up from long term pillow use. Dave Dear listers, and, more specifically, fellow Lombard users, I've got my Lombard in my lap, as it virtually lives in my recliner. However, I was watching some video in VLC when I felt things getting hot. I then fired up TemperatureX and saw that my Lombard was running a smokin' 183 degrees Fahrenheit.

Re: Hot Lombard...

Lombard vs. Pismo: Your experience?
I'm looking to move up from a 3400c to a Lombard or Pismo and want your advice as to which to go for, or if there is a significant real world difference. I've combed the LEM site and EveryMac, but want more than just specs to go by. I'd like to be able to surf the web wirelessly, write, and watch an occasional DVD. I'm comfortable in OS 9, Jaguar, or Panther. I have no current need for SCSI, and FW is nice, but not necessary. Budget is a concern Thanks for your opinions and experience.

Re: Lombard vs. Pismo: Your experience?
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.

G4 upgrade for Lombard?
Hi, I seem to remember someone offering a G4/500 or 550 upgrade for the Lombard series, but I can't seem to remember which company. I know the WS I and II have available upgrades from Sonnet, but I'd like to bump the Lombard up. Also, are there any heat issues with Lombard/Pismo systems with G4 upgrades?

Hot Lombard...
Dear listers, and, more specifically, fellow Lombard users, I've got my Lombard in my lap, as it virtually lives in my recliner. However, I was watching some video in VLC when I felt things getting hot. I then fired up TemperatureX and saw that my Lombard was running a smokin' 183 degrees Fahrenheit. Didn't even hear a fan, but I know there has to be on going, because it's dropped twenty-five degrees since I've been typing this email. Is this normal for a Lombard to get that hot?

Lombard OS X Install Crash
I know this subject has been talked about a lot on this list, and I went back and checked the archives, but am still having a problem I can't resolved. I have a 400 mhz Lombard with 320 Mg ram and a 40 Gig Hard Drive. I have been trying to install OS 10.2 and it keeps crashing or freezing up about a third through the install. I get the HOLD the POWER BUTTON DOWN screen or it simply freezes. I tried swapping out the top Ram and no difference. I have the Hard Drive partitioned in two and on one I am running OS 9.2.2 with no problem. I am trying to install OS X on the second partition. Can anyone tell me what else I should do or check...Thanks very much. Also, I have nothing in the PCMCIA slot. Scott -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Lombard OS X Install Crash
Your installing OS X on the second partition, could be the issue. It wants to be on the first partition. Either install it there or don't partition. Tried this on a WS II, installing on the second partition. It would not install until I repartitioned the drive to install X on the first. 9 presents no such issue.
