Where you lift the screen does not change the amount of pressure, it just makes it harder for you to open it since you have less leverage. If there is 2lbs of resistance, there wil…

Lubricate the hinges helps. I usually remove the two hinges covers, and apply a bit of silicone oil , then put back the hinges. Also , when opening, don't hold it from front of th…

Great, now I've got that song in my head.

That's a pretty interesting video! Definitely shows some of the history of Apple in a simple way.

I see it, and probably should have looked at it before starting a thread... Thanks for the help!

Have a look at the post concerning wireless with a Lombard

I think you'd need to look at something for the PC Card slot, and not something to replace the AirPort card directly.

Does anyone know if there is any kind of replacement AirPort card that allows the TiBook to do WPA2?

I just bought a near-pristine (Only one or two paint chips, good hinges) 400 MHz PowerBook G4 for a really good price. I would like to keep it that way. Does anyone have suggestion…

If this is an LVDS display ( dont know if it is or not), the gamma correction IC on the t-con likely failed. 

You sure it's not an OS install quirk? Or the GPU not being able to drive the OS?

Wish I had an answer to this but unfortunately not the case... just going to follow and hope something comes to the surface. Ive had a similar issue with a Dell CRT I was given. Ev…

I’ve been trying to reassemble at least one working Pismo from a collection of parts able to make one great unit and one functional unit—in theory. The machines belonged to a clien…

On that note, does anyone have or know of where to find Fuser or Fissioner? I'm not sure they're necessary at this point, but all the available tutorials seem to be specific to tho…

The font aspect I know is possible (in theory), though I'd have to track down my research on the font templates. At the time, this predated my use of emulators, so I had no deve…

On the Newton? I doubt it. Japanese is somewhat possible but even then the support isn't great. You'd have better luck turning off HWR and just letting it clean up what you draw.

I can't believe there'd be ingest on this list, and my research (years ago) never led me to conclude it's necessarily possible... By this I meant handwriting recognition sorry. A…

There was a P4 toshiba laptop designed the same way, the DC-DC board was bolted on with one of these, and it always caused problems

If you get one of these shipped it's a good idea to reseat everything anyway, even if it is screwed/latched down.

Ya, it is a piss-poor connector for sure. I thought the same thing after install, that a solid bump would free it.

It's that lousy connector. I have a Gateway Solo 9200 (PII@266MHz) which all the boards (Video, I/O, CPU, HD, Power) are sandwiched together by these connectors. It took a nasty fa…

That's definitely strange! I wonder if any other Macs have done something similar, and if so how many...

Yup, about mid-way. I would assume this could happen with an upgrade card when a driver loads. But odd on stock hardware. So not sure. It detected the defect and did not use the RA…

It said something about detecting a hardware defect later in the startup process? I'm intrigued now... how did it say it?
