PB G4
My son has all the luck. He had a 'book given to him. However it has two problems. Some one 'sat' on it and the screen shattered. The previous owner changed out the screen with a retrofit screen which he says was an alternate screen. Evidently this fellow is somewhat of a Mac guy. But the screen does not work. The 'book does work with an external monitor tho. Is there anything that I should look for to get the screen working? The other problem is that the battery doesn't work. Is there a way to check the battery and/or the charging system? I don't have access to the 'book and therefore can't assist him with the troubleshooting. It is a 667 mhz model. I had trouble finding the name but it is an Onyx. TIA, Dennis -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: The Saga of the Powerbook 3400c
On 21-Dec-04, at 10:15 PM, Nathan Hill wrote: Hello everyone (and dad), I am in the middle of a spiritual service program up here in DC, working at the Capital Area Food Bank. Before I came up, I decided to get a decent older Powerbook to write and do some web design and graphic design. I picked up two Powerbook 3400c(s) on a fluke on eBay (I thought the first seller wasn't going to send me the 'book, but I ended up with both). Unfortunately, the 'Book I took with me started acting crazy. It wouldn't boot up, and if so, it would only do so randomly. I pulled out the 128 MB chip of ram, and it seemed to work fine (although slow) with virtual memory. But the 'Book just stopped working completely -- it was giving me the GLOD and Whine of Doom and what not. I got the backup 'Book from my dad, bought new RAM, and put everything together -- and again, it worked fine for a while, but started freaking out again. So here I am right now. I took the backup Powerbook, switched the hard drive from the other dead Powerbook, reinstalled the new RAM, and reset the PRAM. It sort of works. However, the 3400 still freezes randomly. It now boots up on demand, but if I let it just sit, the whole 'Book freezes. I don't know what to do. So: 1) It could be a system conflict, right? Does anyone know any specific system extensions that cause problems? I know I have had issues with the PCI Audio Extension and Powerbook G3s before. Anyone know any other extensions that might conflict with a 3400c? 2) Could there still be a hardware conflict somewhere? I know from my general tech support stuff -- a dead on freeze (no cursor movement even) -- means an overheating or major hardware conflict of some kind. Anyone have any ideas? BTW, if you seek some info on fighting back against the GLOD, I recommend the following link. Run through the same procedures for 3400s as for 2400s. I've had success doing so. http://pbreadme.nexuswebs.net/pb2400.html Let me know. Thanks, Nathan Hill Nathan, I had the freezies when running 9.2.2 and had to switch to 9.1. Haven't had time to try a re-install and troubleshooting. Good luck, Dennis -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Bear in mind that it doesn't seem to work perfectly for everybody. It didn't for me. I don't run OS 9.2.2 on my 3400c. What I do is run 9.1, with the Finder, OT and TCP/IP components from 9.2.2 in place of their 9.1 versions. For whatever reason, that combination works for me and is faster than stock 9.1. I'm planning to try 9.2.2 again at some future date, having recently replaced my 3400c's logic board due to sleeping sickness. I replaced my board with a new, Apple Service 3400/180 board, and overclocked the bus speed to 44 MHz so that I now have a 3400/198 that benches reasonably close to a stock 3400/240. -- -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

3400 won't shut down with 9.2.2
Hi, just got his PB and the above problem appears. I searched the archives but did not see any related items. The only troubleshooting I did was to notice that if I only booted to the desktop it would shutdown from the 'special' menu. By not shutting down I mean that it freezes at the desktop, the cursor moves but the dropdowns don't work. If I force quit and re-boot to the desktop, I can shut down. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks, Dennis Among other considerations, the PowerBook 3400c does not support Mac OS 9.2.x, even though some folks manage to install such with patches.

Thanks we1. I'll try that a little later today.

The machine ran fine and I emptied the trash. Maybe this will help. we1 On Nov 11, 2004, at 4:50 PM, Dennis Descoteau wrote: Aw, come on folks.
