or you could say that you were putting in the airport extreme card in...i think that's an exception excuse to open up the pb...not sure though.

You don't have to open up the case to install an airport extreme card...

Note that the Apple service guide PDF for this model specifically and explicitly warns about this problem, and the fact that undoing said goof-up requires basically stripping the m…

Well, I am returning to school in London tomorrow. The PowerBook will be picked up for service on Tuesday, because the backlit keyboard does not work like it did before the repair …

Hello all. I purchased AppleCare for my PowerBook 15" AL in the U.S. It states that it provides global coverage. I am currently studying in the U.K., and have started to notice …

Probably the UK number

Definitely the UK number. AppleCare in the US won't even deal with your case if you're not in the country. By the way: if you can wait until you're back in the US, you should con…

I just got my pb 6 days ago, and i'm just gonna return it to the store to swap for a new one cause getting that white spot is rediculous, not even a week of having it.

I'm in Italy and sent it up to AppleCare in Denmark. 3 day turn around and I got a perfect screen but... they scratched the screen lid/case in two spots and the plastic trim was wa…

I still have to send mine in...and if it's like Tooki says, that makes me very happy. But I wonder if they are in short supply now...how long it will take for them to get back in …

Is there any way to set up a Powerbook to use the internal speakers at the same time as a set of USB speakers?

Any opinions on the best hard drive - with the largest capacity I can swap for my stock 60Gig drive?

I've been happy with Hitachis. I think the largest capacity from any manufacturer currently is 80GB.

The fastest is the Hitachi (formerly IBM) Travelstar 7k60 which is a 7200rpm 60GB drive. The largest is the Hitachi 5k80 which is a 5200rpm 80GB drive. The 7200 rpm one is somethin…

Hmm. Thanks. I guess I should wait for larger drives. Can't see getting a new drive for only 20 more gigs. Thanks for the info....will keep an eye on Hitachi.
