I have found that when this happens on my Lombard I can just put all four of my fingers on the track pad and rub the whole thing and it will stop jumping around. I have had this p…
I loved my Newton Message Pad 130 and used it everyday, but one day the batteries died. I didn't get around to replacing them for a couple of weeks, but when I did get around to r…
The Rev A AlBook 15" models had the same problem due to pressure on certain sections of the LCD during shipping.
I would hazard a guess that at some time the iMac had undue pressu…
I have disks that have Panther plus the 10.3.9 update. It will only install the update after I have installed Panther if I first copy the update to the HD and then open it from the…
Well, as a speculation, a temperature variation. In the Sharp Application Note on Mechanical Design Considerations for LCD Displays, "It is important to note that variations in te…
What would cause a bright spot about 2-3" across in the center of a G4 iMac LCD screen? The screen is still usable, just the center is brighter than the rest of the screen.

If you want to use your PCI bus for anything else time critical (like a multi channel sound recorder) I've heard it's not advisable, as it chokes the bus.

Turns out that the Network browser crash is a bug not a flaw i got the same freeze from the iMac DV SE so i am guessing that the rest of the crashes were similar bugs in the O…
With extreme difficulty. It's one of those things that gets lumped in with 'MLB failure' as the only remaining (but unspecific) cause of malfunction. When you have eliminated the…
