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.…

I found some YouTube videos don't have the option to downgrade the actual Flash quality. Especially on the mac side...

Bunsen, definately go for 433Mhz in your OC adventures - I've had two now that have gone up to this speed without an issue. If you control + click on a YouTube video you can reduc…

I get two frames a second on youtube, if that's the kind of video you're talking about. Quicktime (.mov .mpeg) video off the hard drive plays fine. Divx and AVI? Fageddaboudit. …

I have the 333 cpu and I think it is running tiger. I cant get it to run a vidio on it worth a bean. I just figured the 8 meg vidio could not handle it. I have tried swaping ram ou…

I've only ever had the fan fire up on both my Pismo and Lombard when I had them sitting on a soft vinyl chair for a couple of hours watching a movie - it was pretty hot after that …

At the moment the 400mhz card has been replaced with a 333mhz card. While it does run a little warm at times depending on what I'm doing so far it has not crashed since the proces…

Well. I just lifted the keyboard on my Lombard to check. Turns out the sound I always thought was the fan, is in fact the hard drive. The fan (next to the air vent on the left h…

Funny price - I got one for free. Awful display. Slow. 99% chance the battery is useless.

He said he purchased a few and I guess opened one of them. I don't care for that model so I think the price is a bit steep. Wonder if the battery will even charge after all this ti…

Sealed? Then what laptop is in the picture?

I heard about the exploding batteries but nothing about case quality or anything like that. Mind you I was wondering a little while ago why you never see any 5300s anywhere.

I have a 5300ce got at the thrift store. External scsi devices will not mount on the desktop. I have the right SCSI cable. A hard drive,CD rom nor zip drive will mount. SCSI probe …

I'd take it if they paid me $150. My 5300 suffered from every known problem, it's the only machine I've ever just thrown in the bin.

Very nice, if a bit expensive!!!!

Just in time for Christmas, this 5300 PowerBook never opened, brand new sealed in box. Now you too can experience first hand the cracked cases, broken AC connectors, or spontaneou…
