My Pismo started up without it's usual orchestral sound. I called AppleCare and they walked me through resetting the PRAM. This may have nothing to do with your situation, but maybe? Donald On Monday, June 24, 2002, at 07:58 AM, Eric Opiela wrote: >> >> >> just got back from a couple of days

Hey, thanks to everyone who wrote to help with this! This was indeed the problem. Yes, the hard drive was recently upgraded to a 20G IBM drive, and this was the first time the Wallstreet had been closed since the upgrade. We haven't done the steel insert yet, because at the moment taking out the

Bad News- I had this exact same problem with my PBG3 Wallstreet exactly two weeks out of warranty. Luckily Apple granted me a "one time warranty exception" to fix it. I thought it might have been just the sound card, but the techs at computize told me Apple had to replace the motherboard to

With the AC adapter, there's a fast 'clicking' coming from the speaker, which is much slower when on battery power, right? If you remove the HD and then refit it, does the computer then start OK? This sounds like exactly the problem I had intermittently when my Wallstreet had its original 4Mb

Well, I'm a bit at a loss here. I think I remember a few times my Wallstreet acting like this, and I thought that doing Command+Control+Power would bring it back to life, but if it doesn't work for you, I'm not sure what is wrong. What you could do is remove the battery and disconnect it from the

Hi folks, just got back from a couple of days away, during which we left my partner's Wallstreet unplugged, it being stormy. The Wallstreet is a G3/300 which has previously given difficulty if you try to start from the battery, but never had this kind of problem before. Pushing the power but
