My 12" PB fell off my desk. — #4
The moving parts on your powerbook are the ones you should have an eye on. Especially the harddrive is sensitive to abrasion, so I would back up my data immediately if you haven't …

My 12" PB fell off my desk. — #5
The exact same thing happened to me and my 12" (Rev A) back in April, except the only damage was to the lower left corner (dent) and it has not suffered any malfunctions or problem…

Hi All,
I'm going to be buying a 15 or 17" PB here shortly, and was wondering if there are any good port replicators out there so that I can hook up an external cinema display, et…

Good question...I've been wondering the same thing.
Edit - I did find these, not sure how good they are...but look okay. A little on the expensive side though. Doesn't look lik…

Thank you. I'm very surprised to find that replicators aren't very common for the powerbook line. As popular as they are I would have thought someone would have launched a nice d…

I used a BookEndz dock for my Ti 400 and honestly, it wasn't worth the expense ($250). You have to line it up just right and spend a lot of time futzing with it to get it to work …

I don't get it. Even if you use a replicator you're still plugging and unplugging from the Powerbook. So the wear and tear is the same either way.
I think there are two main reaso…

Random idea I had the other day. Most of Apple's high end desktops have been dual processor for a while, why not offer that possibility in a laptop? Well, shoving two CPUs inside…

If anything, you incur more wear and tear (and possibly permanent damage) because of the considerable force required to dock your PowerBook correctly.

I hate plugging and unplugging the cables from my laptop.
The missing element on Powerbooks is a single in-line connector that many PC notebooks (Dell 600, Sony V505) have either…

I take my laptop on/off my desk twice a day and connnecting/disconnecting cables isn't that big a deal.
I have power, speakers, 1xusb which goes to my keyboard, my MS Natural has …
Ack! My hard drive started clicking! — #1
I'm watching TV last night, and I heard a clicking noise. I followed it back to my PowerBook. The clicking was coming from the front left (its a 12"). The thing was locked up - …
Ack! My hard drive started clicking! — #2
It could be going bad. usually that is a sign of a drive going bad. If it continues to do it I would worry. If not then I would just keep an eye/ear on it

if it's clicking it means the heads are hitting each other. back your data up immediately. chances are it will fail, don't take a risk by waiting to back up.

backup all your data
buy a new one
be happy....
the clicking noise is the first signal of a HD death....
If you don;t have a external FW HD (portable or not), it's also a good time…

The HD in my Cube made that clicking sound before it eventually died. It was the original Western Digital that shipped with the Cube. I replaced it with a Maxtor and haven't had …

I'm with you on this one, there has been a ticking noise for quite some time. Well since I have gotten it. The thing is if I shut my powerbook down and then start it up, it stops…

I've had the same problem with my Powerbook (Ti DVI) for a few months now; it has made some very odd/loud clicking noises at random times. I've run norton and it tells me that the …
