Lynn,
Check out powerbooktech.com. They have a flat rate labor charge and I
think they will even install a drive that you purchase elsewhere. A HD
replacement is a very easy upgrade/ replacement though. You may be able
to do this yourself.

Hi,
Thanks for the info. I am a bit confused. Not only do I have
the whistling sound when the adapter is pushed into the jack
, but my additional 300 plus ram is not showing up in the system
profiler. It shows up under about acomputer, but that is it.
I have been getting memory problems for awhile and wasn't
aware that the computer wasn't acknowledging all of the ram.
It stops whistling if I hold the plug and push it into the jack
tighter. I am using a brick. I have a backup yo yo but am
not too thrilled with it. THe last two have sparked on just
one use.
I can't record to a cd firewire backup. I get errors or else
it hangs during finishing session. I can get backup to my swappable
zip drive though.
Disk first aid fixed a volume error the other night.
I am not sure where to go with all of this.
At first I htought it was the drive, now it looks like it could
be adapter or both and why the trouble with the firewire?
A mac guy will charge 50 to come to my house (am disabled
and can't drive), 85 per hour for labor, and 200 for a new
Toshiba drive. I have heard the ibm travelstars are better
and cheaper.
Not sure how much I should spend on this if the money
could go toward a newer model. Am now very confused
about whether the computer has one problem or multiple
problems.
Thanks so much for any advice.
Lynn
