This all seems very cool. *BUT* if you do swap the drives or get one of the OEM dirves disscused earlier you might run into this problem: Notice that the iBooks CD-ROM cover is c…

It looks to me like you could just pop off the cover from the iBook CD-ROM and attach it to the DVD-ROM, shouldn't be too difficult. It might take a little creativity, but I doubt…

Well? any news? Did it work?

I opened up my iBook and it would be real easy to take out the CD and plug in a DVD in order to see if it works. I just don't have an IDE DVD drive to check it out with.

i've got an imac A, but u guyz over here seem much more enthusiastic about DVD possibilities, so i'll post this here. I see at linuxppc.org that ibooks have linux support. I have…

Someone mentioned that Apple publishes take-aparts on all their products. Not true. There is no take apart published on the Service Source website(the site for certified techs) for…

My iBook screen has started completely freaking out and there are different colored lines appearing vertically on it when I start it. Any ideas kids?

If it still does it with extentions turned off (hold shift on startup). I'd take it in and get it fixed.

yeah, its a no go. its still screwed up

Yup, I've seen a couple of these. Apple won't let us fix them in shop; so we dispatch them to Apple for repair. Take your iBook to your nearest Apple authorized dealer and have i…

Thanks, I'll take it in.

"hawkmankt", Do the lines go away after you start up? I had a similar problem with my PowerBook G3. Vertical lines were on my screen, changing color and eventually dissapating. Yo…

Sean, Thanks for the advice. I hope you're kidding about the "kids" thing. Its just a slang term.

If Dave Letterman can say "kids" . . .

Geez Sean, take a valium...

heh

I'm having a similiar problem with my iBook but it usually goes away after the smiley Mac appears. On another note, I can't seem to watch VCDs in anything other than 256 colors. In…

"machaus", Okay, it was a joke, although quite on purpose. I was implying that I took slight offense to it and to refrain from saying that next time you post asking for help. Also…

hey i hate to bring this up but half the posts were rambling and incoherent also whats wrong with kids would you find "guys" incoherent and ramnling?

RAther than "kids" how about "ladies" either as used by Jerry Lewis (way back when, not recently) in a high pitched screech, or as used by the drill sargeant in Kubrick's "Full Met…

hi from New Zealand does anyone know is there is a way to actually use the airport slot under the keyboard as a PCMCIA slot? The airport card is a PC card - drivers from a g3 power…

well, most PCMCIA cards have some type of port on the end (either firewire, USB, or modem/ethernet) so IF one could be put in the iBook's airport slot, the keyboard would probably …

It isn't a PCMCIA slot; it's an IDE port. I didn't know that anyone still called it PCMCIA. (You know the joke.)

well - i read that the airport was a std lucent OEM pcmcia card - i want to be able to mount a pc flashcard from my prof. digital camera actually - no port issues - it fits ok - i'…

Badcat: I'd like to find a PCMCIA reader for USB, too, but I have 2MB SRAM cards. I know the Antec reader sold by Outpost doesn't work (I'm sending one back now) but I don't know …
