Re: 5300c laptop
As part of the shipment I am sending to a school in Zimbabwe I have been donated a 5300c laptop. The machine works fine, but the plastic frame holding the screen has come apart with a gap on the hinge end and a gap at the bottom of the screen. Squeezing the frame together reseats it fine, but it will not stay in position. I am guessing that some plastic retaining clips have been broken off in a fall? Any ideas on repairing this frame? Actually it's a design fault that plagued the 5300 for most of its life. One solution I've seen people use is to pass packing tape through between the screen and the body of the machine, squeeze the screen together and then squish the packing tape on to hold it together. I was always somewhat careful when closing/opening mine to support the base of the screen properly. http://www.lowendmac.com/pb2/5300.shtml Have fun, Shay -- === Shay Telfer Perth, Western Australia Technomancer The love of liberty is the love Opinions for hire [POQ] of others; the love of power is http://newtonslore.com/fnord the love of ourselves - Hazlitt

Re: Battery/Power Management on Al PB G4 using 10.4.7
Thanks for everyone's help with my battery problem. Seems like I need to calibrate more often.

I get a warning that I¹m running on reserve power (just like I always have) but with 9mins or so left the PB just runs out of power and shuts off. Sometimes it will resume where it left off but it has not been in sleep mode (ie. No pulsing white light) and latterly it has to reboot. It has only started happening over the last month or so not sure if it coincides with my upgrade to 10.4.7. I updated almost immediately it was released. One of the guys I work with has an iBook G4 and he is complaining of the same thing. Is anyone else having this problem or know what it might be?

Run your PB without power source until it shutsdown, then plug in power source it should glow orange, and charge until power cable glows green. Do not use PB until this has happened, and all your problems should be solved. Manual explains this should be done periodically I usually facilitate as part of monthly maintenance program.

A problem for a colleague
Hi everyone Sorry to forward this message but a maced colleague needs some advice and I suggested there might be someone in Perth who could help out. Thanks for your attention! regards Yvonne Harrison Singleton Primary School Hey folks, Good friends are travelling around Australia and they are in Perth at the moment. Got a desperate call from the Dad. If I deleted some photos on my macbook and empty trash - can I get them back? They are photos of his daughter competing at the National Cross Country Championships in Tassie. He hasn't told anyone in the family yet for fear of being dropped off at the nearest dry salt lake. Anyway - Internet access is very limited for them - (but he can get it). As they are not overly computer literate, I thought maybe the best bet would be to get the computer to a good mac place in Perth. Can anybody suggest one - phone no and address? Cheers Robert Linas Computer Coordinator thingy Werrington PS, NSW Ph: 02 96237077
