Apple has decided that they want to work on all iBooks directly, and will not ship service centers ANY parts. I think calling Apple (and shipping back you whole unit) might be y…

I called tech support and told them I didn't want to send my iBook in because of sensitive data on the drive, the told me they would send out a replacement keyboard if I was comfor…

I'm not new to networking, but this problem really stumps me, it's not unique, but there have been no solutions I could find, so I'm asking here. I have an iBook,Rev.A iMac, and an…

Hmmm...That is a bit odd. I'm going to assume you tested the cables to make sure they work (by switching the devices they are connected to)...did you check the hub to make sure all…

In response to your questions, the hub works, as do the cables, I have once had the Ethernet work, and only once...... I'm run OS 9, 160 MB of RAM in the iBook, 128 in the DV SE, 3…

There was recently an issue about the iBook's auto-negotiation (telling it whether it's hooked up to a 10 or 100BaseT network).. I don't know the particulars, though, so do a sear…

Nope, I have a different port then indicated in the TIL, and anyway it only affects one out of three, when it should 2 out three if I had that hub, which I don't.

I have an original Wallstreet 233. For the last month or so, my battery will not charge. I've tried resetting the Power Manager (Ctrl-Fn-Shift-Power), resetting the PRAM, and usi…

Well, over the weekend I investigated a little more. I found that where the AC adapter plugs into the Powerbook, there's a copper-colored piece of foil. When I make sure the AC a…

That's a problem I've lived with on an old Compaq laptop. (AMD K6-2 400 megahertz) I had to press the electric plug wire down to make it contact the AC adapter. It got so bad that…

I wonder if anyone could be more specific about the location of the copper colored piece of foil. Is it visible externally or do I have to open up the PB to get at it?

I have the same charging problem with a 233 wallstreet PB. Mine only charges the batteries when completely discharged. Also tried apple�s battery utility but no change. I would ap…

The "copper-colored piece of foil" is located inside the PB. You can probably see it (I can see mine) if you unplug the PB, and look down the power plug hole. The foil is on the …

Thanks, wags. I see the piece of foil now.

I had the very same problem with my Wallstreet II 300 Mhz. The batteries would not charge, no matter what measures I tried. I discussed it with an Apple Service Rep, and they det…

i thought Apple was doing all PB work themselves. is that not true?

My problems with my pb happened right before the policy was implemented. I remember that ibooks and pismos, for sure, now have to be mailed to apple. I don't know about earlier m…

There's a fairly common problem apparently with those "UFO" styled power adapters. If you've wraped and un wrapped yours a few times check near the base where the wire goes into th…

My power adapter hums too, but according to tooki, that's normal. It hums the same way an Electrical Plant hums when you drive by it. or something like that. Anyway, the humming …

Mine never used to hum, though, and it's not consistant... it'll hum for a second, stop, hum again for a second, stop, hum for a minute, etc...
