Dim Screen on a G3 Series II - fix or replace?

Hello! I just acquired a G3 Series II with 300 MHz, 192 MB Ram. The previous owner had some water leak onto the 'book and the display is almost totally dim (you need a flashlight to see something). Video-out works fine. The Power Adapter is the Yoyo type and the battery charges well. Surfing via A

Re: Meritline External Enclosure Help-Question

A tiny Installation Manual that came with the enclosure says, "If your system is Mac OS 9.0 or above, the system can find the driver directly." But you're saying that the driver doesn't exist on my basic OS9 partition that came with the machine, right? I would think that it would be there, no? I'v

Meritline External Enclosure Help-Question

Just got a 2.5" enclosure for an old 6GIG HD from my old Pismo. Put it together, successfully installed the driver (at least this is the message that I received), plugged it into a USB port on the iBook G3 900, and I hear the HD spinning in the new enclosure. However, it doesn't appear on the deskt

Actually you can buy new iBooks from MCE with superdrives installed for about $200 extra. Usually includes upgraded hard drive and ram as well. Not a bad deal. Matt The iBooks do not have the Superdrive option either so that was another draw to the PB. -- G-Books is sponsored by

For day-to-day email, web surfing, word processing and even most games, you won't notice a difference. Even Diablo II runs as well on the iBook as it did on the Powerbook and almost as well as on my 1.2gHz G4 Cube. The iBooks, as I stated in my previous note, are a great value for those just n

I should add that I have the backlit keyboard on my 15"Al PB but have rarely had cause to use it. It is a nice feature to have but I wouldn't base my decision on it. The iBooks are a great value if they suit your needs and you could add a monitor and Applecare for the difference between the
