Some software can make your PB unable to sleep, below is from the Apple's support website. But I safebooted into a newly created account... unconnected to internet too. Is there so…

Massive bump to an old thread... my TiBook has been having this problem again - it happened for a while, then stopped and is happening again now. Nothing has changed as far as I …

Hello this is my first question on this forum, which I admire very much Thank you! I have af question: After the last upgrade 10.3.2 my 12" fan is turning everytime the temperatu…

You need to be a little more specific on what you are running when the fan comes on. mine pops on when I'm running the Marine Aquarium Screen Effect.

I can be running only Safari or only Word or only iPhoto or only iTunes. Anyhow when the temp. is above 52 degrees celsius (use temp. monitor) the fan goes on. It's very loud and V…

It's not a bug, it's a feature of the Mac OS X 10.3.2 update. The fan turns on earlier to avoid the heat issues everybody was complaining about when the rev. A shipped. Maybe Appl…

I have noticed the fan coming on a lot with my Rev A PB G4 12" on 10.3.2 whenever I use the modem to dial up. It never came on much before. However, the palmrest does not seem to g…

Try running top in terminal or use Activity monitor to see what is using your cpu%. I have seen WeatherPop go whacked and suck up all remaining cpu time. For that reason, I quit us…

MacJanitor seems to have cleared up the issues. I put my laptop to sleep at night so I was missing all cron jobs. thanks.

you can also change the time the cron jobs run. No need to add yet another program to do this for you in terminal, you can type: sudo pico /etc/crontab then put in the admin pa…

I just thought it might be nice to post something good about the current crop of PowerBooks in lieu of all of the negative posts recently. Yes there are plenty of fully functional,…

Yes. My Rev b has been rock solid. The only problem I had was self-induced when I put in bad ram. I am using this machine a lot too and it has taken many road trips and few air …

My 17" is great, no issues, i bring it back and forth from work, whip it out at various B&N/starbucks, as well as at friend's apartments, city parks, and skateparks.. Although…

My rev A 17" is perfect. Absolutely no issues since I received it in May '03.

mine is great too, not one problem at all... Rev A too.

No problems on my PB17 Rev. A. The sizzling stopped after a few weeks; one Kernel panic in 6 months. Installed the firmware upgrade for my Superdrive-no problems there either.
