Just in time for Christmas, this 5300 PowerBook never opened, brand new sealed in box. Now you too can experience first hand the cracked cases, broken AC connectors, or spontaneou…

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... [?]

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 …

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!

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.

Here you go: Click to expand... Thankyou!! And just when I need one too. Click to expand... You're welcome! I found a pretty big archive of those manuals a couple of month…

Hey thanks, I will try that out. As far as one of them goes, I am sure the mobo is toasted. It has a burn mark on it on the bottom where there is an visible break with solder joi…

Same problem with my mini G4: the machine died a few days ago in performing a restart. After a test of components swapped separately from a working unit it seems as if power suppl…

Try disconnecting the power and removing the battery (test the battery too). I've had problems with my old Mini starting up, and following those steps seemed to solve the problem.…
