It looks like it's rusting!

I have a year old Ti 400 that I bring to my work place every day (I bike). I also have travelled around Europe three times. Still, not a single scratch. Do not blame the computer, …

It's definitely not his fault. Scratches are usually lines. His is chipping. Dropping the machine would only dent it. The paint is most definitely defective.

All i hope is when i buy the new revision as soon as it is released, what ever it is, that they have addressed this problem and have some how made the laptop stronger and more scra…

A friends Tibook 550 fell from 1.5 meters and it spat out one of those "card" cds that was stuck into it. No damages. No worn paint, he treats it rather brutally.

OK, I know I did a Bad Thing, but I'm curious if anyone knows how bad. I plugged my ancient Duo 210 into the dock while both were powered on. I know, I know, it's wrong, but I forg…

Wow, reading this reminds me of a few years ago when all of a sudden the power supply in my dock died right after coming home from the road. I think the Duo 210 was on and when I …

Are you talking about a minidock or a desktop dock? The only way you should be able to connect to a desktop dock while the Duo is "powered on" is while it's asleep, in which case t…

Yeah, get a 280c to replace it. The Dock may still be OK. Try resetting the power manager and PRAM first, though. You may not have hurt anything.

My dear father spilled some healthy herbal tea (he claims not much of it) on his wallstreet's upper left speaker/keyboard area He lifted the keyboard and said it all looked dry …

Herbal tea is only good for people (so they say...), not PowerBooks... You really should stick to CD's and battery acid (in the right places that is...) Salvage the HD, take it in …

I've spilled liquids plenty of times on my PowerBooks, but it's usually only on the keyboard which can easily be cleaned out. Contrary to what Cipher said, the problem is probably…

I did the same thing a few weeks ago on my Wallstreet, but it was coffee with lots of sugar added http://forums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/frown.gif Unfortunately the repair center said t…

Just out of curiosity, what would a repair like this cost? (Spilled my chew cup onto the keyboard)

I did not need to know that. http://smilecwm.tripod.com/cwm2/puke.gif

Hey, at least it has an uhm.. new fresh smell

The reason I say its probably only a minor problem, is that in my experience, after spilling liquid on an electrical device, I just open it up and use a hair dryer (not a good idea…

I've seen this several dozen times in the Service Center where I work. Nine times out of ten, it's only the keyboard that shorts out requiring a simple dry-out and replacement of t…

Thanks for the advice...my dad sent it in to Apple for repair using his extended warranty. We'll see what they say -if they demand payment, which they might, he'll pay .Otherwise w…

Even if it is just the keyboard... "well, we needed to replace the logic board, and the ram too..." That will be $1300 thankyou... Cipher13

GOOD NEWS! The powerbook came back today with a new keyboard, working perfectly! No charge, courtesy of Apple Extended Warranty! My father is happy which means I'm happy too since…
