Well ive had experience with all three Aluminium powerbooks, and currently own the 12' Rev B and 15' 1,25Ghz. I sold the 17' 1,33Ghz two weeks ago. Heres a summary : 17' 1,33Ghz (…

My 17" REV A has screen arthritis in cold weather. There are pinstripe vertical black lines that fizzle when I first turn it on or wake it from sleep, but this clears up in a few m…

I got my rev A 17" in April? can't remember. But it's been almost a year of using it at work, home, everywhere I go. I've had absoultely no problems at all. It has never let me dow…

hey, i'm new here but will be buying a 15" PB very soon. can anyone tell me if it's worth it to upgrade to the 5400rpm HD? is the speed difference noticeable? thanks in advance.…

I have heard that term but dont know what it means exactly... thanks, G

This isn't the correct forum (belongs in software), but I shall answer you anyway. The term "Memory leak" refers to when a program does not keep track of it's memory usage. Usual…

Just remember to thoroughly rinse the Powerbook with soap water after a memory leak occurs, so you don't get any of the leakage on your clothing. -s*

I just received my PowerBook back from Apple on Monday night. Over the past couple of days, I noticed that the casing is not as secure as it was, and that the keyboard was not full…

Probably. If they see any attempt at self repair or of any tampering with the case it probably if not most likely will void the Apple Care.

Just tell them that's the condition it was in when it was returned. Other than the screw, it's the truth. One screw should not equal a warranty void.

It does sound like you're SOL, however, have you tried backing out the screw with a torqued screwdriver? The extra leverage won't hurt with the screwdriver. Hope this helps, othe…

I actually did the same thing to my 17 rev B. It came back from repair and a few things weren't working so I'd figure I could open the case and seat a few cables. Upon putting it b…

In any case, being that I had the uneven illumination problem BEFORE I touched the PowerBook, will Apple repair it again if the problem returns? Obviously it was a problem before I…

I just stuck one side of the tweaser (the smal ones that come with standard computer toolkits) in the hole and dug it out. All repairs done by Apple has a 30 day warranty on the re…

You just have to stay stubborn in defending your claim that the screw was there all the time. Believe me, they heard worse stories, but at least it wont get the wrong ball rolling …

Quote: Urgent! Did I completely screw up my warranty? Was that a pun? But yeah, screwing with your laptop like that is risky while the thing is under warranty.…
