Most laptop speakers leave something to be desired, especially consumer-grade ones. I've not listened to an iBook in a good while now, but I know that the speakers in my old MacBoo…

You can get a halfway decent pair of speakers and a sub for $50 these days os why not? When i had an iBook G4 I always felt the speakers were poor - very tinny and no range. I hav…

A small subwoofer perhaps? I have a 10 watt IBM branded one (probably came with an Aptiva or some such) that complements my laptop speakers nicely.

The iBook G4 that was mine and then my uncle's is about to become my cousin's in a few days. My uncle insisted that he buy her a pair of speakers for the laptop. My question--do a…

Is your memory fast enough? Click to expand... Yes it is, "512 MB 64x64 PC-133 CL2" is what the sticker says. Comes from OWC. i did notice something though. When I put the kerb…

There remains the question if the Lombard memory that you used is electrically compatible with the Pismo, and if not, then whether it (both the Pismo and the memory part) is still …

Tried disconnecting the PRAM the battery, nothing still. I installed the RAM correctly. I'm still lost!!! I tried checking for things that might be dosconnected, but nothing.

http://www.transintl.com/technotes/installram_pismo.htm says the memory electrical spec is somehow different... [?]

trying unplugging the pram battery

Hey guys, I have recently (2 months ago) aquired 2 Powerbook G3 Pismos. One is 400 MHz the other is 500 Mhz. The 400 has a cracked LCD and it doesn't boot. The 500 has "many missin…

The screen doesn't flash, the white led under the screen does. I think you are right about the memory. I found that 1 beep = memory problem, but I don't think its the actual memor…

Yeah thats the ram beeping. My PowerMac G4 did that when I didn't seat ram correctly.

A single beep -> could <- mean a wrong or not well seated RAM module. Regarding the screen flashing: try to connect an external display and see what happens. J

Got a Titanium PowerBook G4 (A1025) that has issues. Symptoms: Turning it on results in a Beep, then the led comes on, then flashes twice, then steady for a little while (couple …

David - That's excellent!

Anyone have any resources for refurbishing these 5.25" Drives? Click to expand... You'll find some general information here: http://home.swbell.net/rubywand/Csa2FDRIVE.html

Well I got both machines. The II+ was pretty rough... I got it for $25. I've cleaned out the case, motherboard and PSU. The power switch was broken so I'm sourcing a good one. As o…

Thabks David - I sent him an email. It seems he has a few items I would like.

Mike Willegal has some replacement switches for the older-style PSU. I bought one for my ailing II (non-plus)... http://www.willegal.net/appleii/forsale/appleii-forsale.htm

Anyone know a good source for an OEM look togle switch for the PSU? The II+ I got has a broken one... TIA!

All right!!! Thanks! I'll take your suggestion on the hard drive, thanks!

That RAM should be fine, OWC sells it too. As for a hard drive, 320 - 500 GB is a pretty good size, but get a firewire external. That way you can switch it between machines easil…

i reset the PMU on the other mobo and it was to no avail. I think that the motherboard is dead. I did all of the things in the manual. bummer man.

Hey guys, I figured it was time for a RAM upgrade for my iMac G5. Will this work? What about a hard drive? What do you guys suggest? It would be nice to move up from 521 MB and 8…
