Re: Pismo acting a little on the lazy side

Well, I feel silly now. I just discovered that the cord coming out of the power brick is starting to break in half. I fumbled with it some and taped it together, which cured my problem. Thanks for the advice everyone, I'm going to pick up a replacement adapter tomorrow. --- Joe Ellis <[EMAIL P

Re: Pismo acting a little on the lazy side

I suspect your problem is your battery, you said it was fully discharged; the Pismo will do strange things with a bad battery. If it's fully discharged and going to sleep you may also be discharging the PRAM battery to a point where it won't support sleep mode. Joe Ellis On 11/6/02 8:43 PM, "Bo

Bluechip Pismo upgrade rocks

I just got my Pismo back from Powerlogix today. The G4 upgrade rocks. I posted a full review to the CPU upgrades database on xlr8yourmac.com, if anyone wants to read it. So far, so good. It's noticeably faster than the G3/400 it replaced. Total turnaround time was 10 days, so they came through

Re: Pismo acting a little on the lazy side

One more update, now it's not even sleeping, it's just off. Turning it back on seems hopeless now. If it doesn't work by the morning, I guess I will have it looked at by someone at a repair place. Nothing I find on the web is helping me find any kind of solution. --- George Gunderson <[EMAIL PR

Re: Pismo Display

Hi, Carlos, I recently replaced the broken display in my Lombard with a Pismo screen - the inverse to your problem. No problems noted here, but you'll have to be careful of the built-in airport antenna on your Pismo. I've seen some warnings about the screen from a Pismo not lasting as long in

Pismo acting a little on the lazy side

Hi everyone, Today I was attempting to use my Pismo (500/256mb/20gb/Jaguar) and it took me a really long time to get the computer to turn on. I pressed the power button about a million times. I pressed it and held it down for a few seconds. I pressed the reset button in the back. Finally, after

CONTINUE THE FLOGGING!! Re: My Wallstreet DOES wake when lid is opened

Despite all the naysayers', this is correct. SOME Wallstreets DO wake when openned. Screw the "original instructions" - they'll also tell you that the max RAM a Pismo can take is 512mb. My first Wallstreet (a 292mhz) woke whenever opened, and I've had several others since then that did the same

Hi Sue & John: I use IE 5.1.6 (the newest as far as I know), on this WS 266/192/6 using OS 9.2.2, along with OE 5.0.6. The only IE does to me is it will "disappear" out of the blue now and then, and the Finder says, Error 2 (memory I think?). The prior versions did the same thing. OE, however,

Since upgrading to Jaguar (on my 500MHz iBook), random lines of text in Internet Explorer 5 looks like Woodstock gibberish (the bird in the Peanuts comic strip).
