well honestly the default video card will probably be fine. if it can push 1600x1200 then 1368x768 will hardly be a stretch for it. But if you do want to upgrade you are unfortun…

I believe refresh rate is a term for CRT's, as the electron gun must hit every phosphor every so often to "refresh" it so it doesn't fade out. I suspect flat panel technology uses…

HEY, gang! I'm thinking about getting a 22-36" digital flat panel HDTV. 8-o I doubt the stock Video Card in my G-4 466 Digital Audio will drive the RGB inputs on one of these ba…

Get off all your important data now, and chuck it. You can map out bad sectors but more will come, and within a short time everything will be inaccessible. JB

my cube died and on a surface scan tech tools found bad sectors. can I fix it or new drive time?

If calibration doesn't do it, then I'd say the battery's dead. I saw that wit my first gen "BlackBook": one day 85% of full charge capacity, and the next day it shuts off without w…

That was the same case with my iBook. Calibrating did nothing.

First I'd suggest you go through a full calibration circle. The fact that the iBook shuts off without warning nor sleep seems to tell the battery doesn't know what's its charge.

I checked...it's not a recall battery....therefore, that can't be it... any other ideas anyone?

It sounds like a dead cell possibly, or the chip board for the batteries is messed up, check to see if it follows under the recall program. https://support.apple.com/ibook_powerbo…

Hey everyone! Lately I've been having some issues with my iBook's battery. When I open an application that tells me its health and its current status, it says it has 86% health (3…

I did the same thing with my duo. The only way to fix something like that is to find a startup disk for your computer or pull the drive, hook it up to another computer (with a usb …

Sometimes the most frustrating problems are the ones that you completely understand. I moved a few system resources from the start up folder on my G3 iBook (running OS 9,) and now …

I was on my iBook G4 tonight, when the machine froze up. I thought it was due to having a lot of tabs open in FireFox. I did the Command-Option-Escape command, but nothing came up.…

Well, the title says it all, really... I have a sneaky suspicion that there's something wrong with my PowerBook. It boots without chiming (I have reset the PRAM to no avail), and t…

I'll have to try getting into OF.. didn't seem to work when I tried.

No 802.11g card will work under OS 9 with Apple-original drivers - if you'll recall, AirPort Extreme (Apple's name for 802.11g) was introduced in machines that wouldn't boot OS 9,…

I currently use a Lucent Wavelan Silver in my Lombard 400 in OS9 and OSX (and OS7.6.1 on my PB 190). It works in OS9 fine with drivers found on the net. With OSX you either have …

the sonnet aria extreme does not work in os 9. The system recognizes that it is there, but does not see it as a wireless card. The sonnet card has a broadcom chipset too.

I got one of my friends to tell me how he did it with his G4 iBook. He had to boot into Open Firmware and run a command to do it, but it (USB DVD-ROM) worked.

Everything I've read says they wont. Only the intel ones. I'll just snag a firewire cable this weekend and try disk mode on my G3 if I can get THAT to boot OSX......

Plenty of G4s will boot from USB, although none of the Power Macs will IIRC. It's worth a shot on the mini.
