Many thanks to everyone who replied with a lot of helpful info. Helped me
step back and look at the choices better.
I've been looking at old powerbook prices and parts down here. They aren't
cheap. A Pismo 500Mhz is around AU$1100 which is not far from a PowerBook
G4/867 (AU$1700) these are

I just replaced the top case on my Pismo due to a malfunctioning trackpad.
Now, the trackpad works fine but when I close the lid, the PowerBook doesn't

As you face your Pismo, with your hands on the keyboard, the magnet is

Laurent,
If you go straight down from the lower right corner of the fn key and 1/2

I too have been using sleep mode with my PowerBooks since 1998 (Wallstreet
