Hi Caleb

apple support downloads page and download battery reset 2.0 for the  
lombard and it resets the battery for you.

Ti book

2005-12-19 Thread VICTORIA.DUGGAN
	Hi All after no reply to my last post i have done some digging and  
it seems that i am not alone in the symptoms i am having with my Ti.


I downloaded the utility coconut battery and it says that the charge  
of my battery is 85% of the original also says that the battery has  
done 224 cycles and that the current charge is nil and the adapter is  
connected but the battery is not charging,


does anyone have any ideas as it is starting to get to me that the  
battery is seen but not charged, also that the mac is only 36months  
old and the battery has only done 224 cycles. in the apple support  
pages they say that the battery should last around 400 - 500 cycles.  
And the battery was working fine then just died totally.  is there a  
reset for the Ti battery like with the pismo one,??


TIA for any advice or help

vicki

Yes, a bit of a shock. But this monitor is sitting beside me and  
really looking good. I know from its reputation that I'm going to  
enjoy creating paintings and other graphics on it... and going back

What is the setup?  a cable modem with wireless built-in that doesn't  
let you config anything?  a cable modem with a base station behind it?


I would be surprised if it did not let you change channels;  
everything from neighboring base stations to 2.4GHz phones to  
microwaves can cause interference on some channels but not others.   
Seems like a recipe for incessant calls to tech support.


It is quite possible that someone else's setup is on the same channel  
and interfering.  You can download "kismac" to scan and show you  
everything that is present (the airport scanner doesn't do a very  
thorough job).  If the base station really doesn't let you config  
anything, you can get g base stations for 20-30 after rebates, or  
802.11b stations for as little as 10 if you look around.  Any of  
those would let you configure them properly.


HTH.

Yes, I did rebuild a Pismo battery. I think. However, I was unable to get it
to take a charge, probably because I could not reset the little circuit in
every battery that tells the computer where their charge is. So, unless you
know how to do that, you might not want to try this if you don't want to
waste your time...

abuse) problem:  Anyone else developed this?

I have two thin cracks on the top surface of the titanium frame of my Ti-400
just at the outer edges of the hinge mounts (just at the top left and right
of the keyboard.) They appear to be relatively stable, but the lid is
increasingly creaky to open.

Touchup paint for the Ti-book

2005-01-04 Thread dan_A
Hi list-
I was wondering if anyone has experience using the touch up paint for 
the Ti-book chipping syndrome. I just purchased the paint and before I 
use it I would like to make sure that it is done as well as it can be. 
The chipping on the front top edge of the machine has a rough, 
blistered surface. Has anyone tried sanding it down (lightly with a 
very fine grit) being careful of course, not to get dust between the 
keys? And is the paint any good? I already made the purchase but I 
guess that one of my daughters could paint her toe nails with it.

Not sure that this would fix your problem but you should upgrade to 9.2.2,
it is free and they might have fixed that problem...

Ti Book Internet Connection Problem

2004-12-27 Thread Don
I hope someone can help me with this problem. Running 9.1 on a Ti 400...
after reboot or waking from sleep, connecting to internet (dialup) takes
several attempts. By clicking on "connect" in Remote Access or by clicking
on Netscape or IE icons, the remote access window opens but does not go
beyond "connecting"... no dial tone. So I cancel and try, try again. By
clicking the various triggers to connect (get mail, browser icon or directly
from Remote Access panel) it will eventually make a connection, usually
after 6-10 attempts. After disconnecting, as long as the computer does not
get shut down or put to sleep, re-connecting happens first click. Any ideas?
FWIW, Tech Tool says the modem is okay and this problem exists on various
phone lines.

Thanks for any ideas... this is really annoying and I fear someday I won't
be able to connect at all.

I keep hearing that heat will release the glue. Epoxy is not a 
thermoplastic. If you heat it, it won't melt, as it gets hotter it 
turns brown and eventually carbonizes.

So what is this glue? Does heat really release it?

Is it any different from the PDF service manuals that were available

download from several foreign web sites?

As for the hinge fix, I've heard from a few people who've done it

and the consensus is that it's hard, but doable, and you will end up 
with a
screen bezel/frame that may have a slightly "homey" look, i.e. where 
you

Which

external

let that stop my research. Are you suggesting sir  I quash my quixotic

Re: Ti-Book display take-apart?

2003-09-29 Thread Ely Zimmerman
You might try www.powerbookmedic.com

They have their own take apart manuals. I don't know it they have Ti's yet.
The one for a G3 Lombard was a downloadable pdf file for $10. It was quite
good.

Is no-one able or willing to divulge the topsecret procedure to open
these bad boys?

Here's the most info I've found so far and it ain't much:


"We do not recommend our customer to replace the LCD by themselves
because the procedure require a special equipment to replace the LCD. The
LCD is held together inside the housing with a very tough epoxy and if
you try to pry the LCD out from the housing, you will dent and bent the
LCD housing."

Nice proof-reading o' the copy there DTT.

I know what you mean. I've been looking for some info on replacing the hinge
on a TiBook G4/550. Can anyone point me in the right direction for DIY
repairs? I know some companies do the job for a lot less than Apple, but
said prices are still in the $500 range, plus shipping (I'm in Europe).

I came across a G4/550 with combo drive at a good price, though it has a
busted right hinge (the guy uses it with an external monitor and it works
fine). I also see right (and left) hinges selling on ebay in the $100 range.
If I could do the repair job myself it'd be a great deal; there'd be no
advantage in getting a company to do the repair job at $400-500.

I do have some experience in piecing broken powerbooks into good working
Macs, including 1400s, 3400s and Pismos. I've also done screen replacements
on these. Though obviously the TiBook screen is in a whole different league.
I have the Gigabit Ethernet takeapart manual and I can see that the job is
not for the faint of heart.

If anyone wants to advise for or against, please let me know. And if anyone
has any info on replacing the hinge yourself, any and all info would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Chris

Ti-Book display take-apart?

2003-09-27 Thread Dan K

appreciated words of encouragement? Are there any web sites detailing any 
of this? I googled for hours but found little, mostly grumbles about how 
Apple has done the world a disservice with their crummy product design.

What I did find was slim: 1) an Icelandic fellow's half-hearted attempt 
to fix with some bits of Al sheet and epoxy. NOT really what I had in 
mind and I understand it didn't hold up for too long anyhow - and 2) a 
guy who worked for a special effects company who fabbed 
replacement/reinforcing parts from Al stock. That second sounded pretty 
interesting but I could find no further details.

As for the actual disassembly I found nothing. Dangit! I _know_ somebody 
out there has done this but they are sure keeping their secrets well. 
Anyway, here's what I see based on the bits I've already got:

The back (outer) panel is made of Ti and I'm pretty sure the face (inner) 
is Al. The face is attached to the LCD's face with adhesive. It's not a 
thermally set adhesive but heat did seem soften it a bit. I used a hair 
dryer to heat the face while I peeled it off the LCD, but it got pretty 
bent up in the process. It appears to have no structural role based on 
what I see, I _think_ one could use an otherwise-complete display without 
it. BTW I was very careful to not heat the LCD, just the face piece.

The rear section consists of the panel itself, a pair of (ABS?) plastic 
spacers around each top corner of the LCD, and below which the hinge 
supports must wrap around each lower corner of the LCD. Is there some 
sort of filler section on the lower side of the LCD? I haven't got that 
part sadly. The plastic spacers and the hinge supports apparently are 
attached to the rear panel with a medium gray colored adhesive. It 
appears to be thermally sensitive but is probably not a thermal type 
glue. This same type of adhesive is used in the bottom section of the PB 
as well, in areas such as the join between the sides and top as sort of a 
fillet.

I think the two halves (LCD/face and backpanel/hinges) are joined with 4 
screws, two on each side of the display. They _may_ also be held together 
with a heatset adhesive, at least I found traces of a clear thermal glue 
in a couple of spots, though that could have been put there as part of a 
previous repair attempt.

Unless I can find some really useful info out there, I'm thinking I'm 
gonna end up creating a new web page on this topic . . .

Many TsIA,

Dan K

Ti-Book Battery

I have a 1-year-old ti-book.   I have always used OSX.  The battery 
used to get 5 hours (no kidding).   Now I am getting only about 2--or

Is there anything that will recondition this battery at

it's a flat-rate $310 for hardware failures. the flate-rate does NOT 
cover accidental damage, though... so if you, say, drop your powerbook, 
you pay more. there are reports on sites like MacFixit and MacInTouch 
about Apple covering some hinge breaks under warranty (similar to how 
they have handled some Wallstreet hinges), but it's definitely not 
universal.

most hinge breaks are repaired by Apple for about US$600, unless the

Ti-book broken hinge

2002-12-02 Thread thecrow
Hi I need some info on repairing a broken right hinge on my ti-book. I've
heard they must be shipped to Texas for repair. I was wondering if anyone
out there has sent theirs in for repair and how long it took to get the
book back, also the cost for repair. Thanks in advance.

My goodness, is it that hot?
I remember it being rather hot when I used a PBG4 667MHz, but it wasn't
uncomfortable or anything.
If your unit is still under warranty, why not bring it into Apple to have
them take a look at it?

Regards,
Mark.

Re: Ti Book overheating problem (again)

2002-11-25 Thread Mark_PHILIP

Hi Lawrence,
Try using something to raise the rear of the PowerBook G4 up. You could use
2 large rubber erasers and place them underneath the rear feet of the
PowerBook. That will allow some circulation of air in the rear side, hence
lowering the temperature a little. I believe the Coolpad also does the same
thing, albeit with more finesse...

Cheers,
Mark.

We were talking about the heat generation from my Ti Book, and I
wanted to add to the discussion that the main culprit is having the
mains charger left plugged in.

If I unplug it when the battery if full, the temperature drops by quite
a lot, but if I leave it in even when the battery is full the back of the
base, below the screen gets very hot.

I use it as a desktop unit for 8-12 hours per day, so having to
unplug and reconnect it all the time is very boring.

I use a PowerBook as I also work at home.

Nope, but the more you run on the battery, the more you're wearing them out.

Ti book cd/dvd rom drive hell!

2002-09-20 Thread Richard Badge



Dear all,

I have been having problems with my cd/dvd rom drive (apologies if this is 
sounding all too familiar..) When I got my Tibook (May 2001) the drive was 
great- none of the mounting/alignment problems that plagued other early 
machines. But recently the drive refused to mount any CDs. Using the 
iso9660 key sequence worked briefly, but then the book stalled at startup, 
a problem only rectified by disabling the apple cd/dvd driver. I got a new 
driver file and after many reboots got the book to boot with the driver 
loaded, but the drive still doesn't mount CDs on the dektop. It spins up 
the disks and will eject them happily (using the emergency disk eject hole) 
so the drive has power etc. Apple sytem profiler says there is a CD-rom 
drive mounted, but is lacking any specific details, suggesting the problem 
is in communications between the drive and the OS. Any ideas.. I have 
considered the MCE combo drive upgrade, as an attractive alternative to a 
machine with a dead drive, but wondered if there is anything I could do 
further...

Thanks in advance,

Richard

How is he connecting to the PC network? If it's ethernet which I presume it
is, he may cure some of his problems by opening the network control panel
and typing "local." without the quotes but with the period in the DNS Search
(optional) window. Sorry, I can't test it at my work, the IT Nazi's won't
even allow a Mac in the front door.

Has he tried trashing his Entourage preference file and let Entourage write a 
new one?

Alternatively, has he tried to use the updated Mail application? He may

G4 Ti-Book + 10.2 + Entourage = Network Problems

2002-08-30 Thread Geoffrey Parker

I'm posting this on behalf of my brother who recently purchased a new G4
'Book for use at work on the PC-only network there.  I don't know all the
sordid details but let's just say that he was able to make things work "OK"
while using 10.1.5;  Entourage was part of the network and the world was a
nice place.  He moved up to 10.2 yesterday and encountered major problems.
Entourage will not even run now when he is on the network.  If he
disconnects from it...Entourage works fine.  He has tracked down all sorts
of bizarre  ideas (corrupted this..corrupted that..replace this or that) and
remains one very frustrated guy.  The 10.2 install was smooth and utterly
uneventful.  Ideas or suggestions are welcome.

Ah, just my 'internal clock' - I sorta count the standardization of Combo

The 7410s (pretty high octane/larger cache) went into the 400/500, and 
the 7450/51 (lower power/higher clock/smaller cache) are in the current 
iteration. 7445s (the 800MHz) are the rumour, but no idea of spec as I 
haven't had time to hunt through Moto's spec page. They're meant to be 
less of a power-guzzler though, although what impact that will have on 
performance, I don't know. I think some BareFeats tests showed high 
performance for the 500 than the 550 in some instances, although I think 
the DVD/CDRW drive is pretty compelling with the C revisions (meaning 
current). I think we'll have to call the forthcoming ones 'D'.

Cheers,

Ti-Book CPU

2002-04-25 Thread Walt French

With the mongers offering tales of "Rev C" TiBooks, I wonder: which
specific G4 chips are in the Rev A and Rev B? We hear how the "B"
series have higher clocks but smaller caches and more heat... are there
better Moto warez out there?
