Hello, The end plug into my Pismo powerbook suffered when someone tripped over the cord. That end will now produce sparks. Is there a way to cut off the offending part of the wire (right at the join to the plug) and use the rest of the 'good' wire, or should I throw away the whole yo-yo AC

I've done it, it's not easy. Hacksaw the plastic case of the plug open, and cut the wire very close to the plug, then solder it back together and use a good load of electrical tape on it. On 17/12/2005, at 6:55 PM, kaldav wrote: Hello, The end plug into my Pismo powerbook suffered when

For Apples sake I'm glad that there is so much exitement about the new Macintels, and, intellectually I think it was a good move. That said, and for reasons I won't delve into on this forum, I'll be looking forward to the opportunity to get my first Mac desktop in a while, probably a dual G5

Thanks, I thought of doing that so it reset it. That didn't solve the problem. I was able to boot of a OX 9.2 disc and reselect the start up volume. Oddly, that didn't work either. I went back to the processor and rearranged the SODIMM's to the original placement, the smaller (64 MB)

You should be aware that there is a small resistor inside the computer end of the plug on these yo-yo power units. Just replacing the plug without this resistor may cause problems. I had the same failure mode and tried several ways to fix it without success. I ended up buying an old style

It's nothing. I'm planning on doing the same with my Lombard as soon as I can afford it. However, that Newer Technologies battery upgrade from Other World Computing looks too good to pass up. :) Hopefully, you'll have a portable powerhouse, instead of an extremely light desktop, which is what

Just an FYI-- I finally sat down with a borrowed multimeter and tested the ground path from the three-prong plug on the long cord that comes with the Apple power supply. There's no ground path from the power plug (ring, tip, or outer circle) to the grounding path. So it's still problematic what

Have managed to link my Pismo running tiger via appletalk over airport to ethernet to an upgraded (040, ethernet) LC running OS 7.6.1. In order to obtain some semblance of understanding between them on the network I installed the appleshare 3.8.3 client on the LC and can access the Pismo from
