Anyway, my question is--have I destroyed my Plus by chipping the metallic coating? What are the consequences of running the machine with compromised shield/paint stuff? Has anyon…

Thank you!

Slapping and spanking never helped me much with the BabyPB, what I always did when I had intermittent stiction problems with one of them was to set it up on a hard surface, (back l…

I managed to land a gigger, though I'm "still" using my 867MHz G4 for most of my portable OS 9 needs. The 1400, bless its heart, just doesn't have the battery life to take it on th…

OIC. Then you can just pick the hosts out of the list and whitelist? That actually sounds more manageable. If that's what you mean, I like that idea even better. FTR, NoScript is …

I'll most likely do that as soon as I get brave enough to take the bad boy apart 8-o If the slap trick doesn't work, something else may have to be a donor xx(

I think most of them have the coating, even as far back as the 128k. My 128k has it, I just assumed they all did. Here's a photo of the guts of a 128k, with the coating: { …

All taken care of

If the HD is struggling to spin, it usually requires a firm spanking/slap to get it up ... if you know what I mean But seriously, if not turned on for a while I've found many …

I'd love to get my hands on that model. I have always wanted a G4 powerbook even when I did own a iBook. I would like something faster than my upgraded Pismo but alas they are st…

I wish you good luck with recovering the PB100. The only one I have owned had the lit up but blank screen issue. Eventually i gave it away and if I was smart I would have kept th…

I'm sorry if this is easily found on the site; I did look for an answer but could not find it. I need to contact an admin/moderator for the following issue...any pointing in the r…

I was going to ask if that coating was common to all the machines; I have memories of opening a 512k with my dad and seeing a more plastic-like interior. Ah, I didn't realize …

Here is the damage. The last two photos are a 'before' (flat) and an 'after' (on the drainboard) of the bezel. I did remove the Apple badge; it was fun to learn it's just a metal s…

I have been tempted many times to get and try out the following product, but I have no clue how it compares to the original http://www.allbatterysalesandservice.com/browse.cfm/4,4…

Thanks, JDW. I think a combination of the gel method mixed with some more patience & planning would have done the trick. Here is the damage. The last two photos are a 'be…

I had a fear of that happening myself; namely, that the metallic spray inside the case might be adversely affected by the H202 during deyellowing. But in my case, the reason I ult…

Yeah, I always keep my data and os on separate partitions. It is really useful for if a system screws up or you want to upgrade the os and would prefer to do a clean install.

Hello, long time lurker, first-time poster. :b&w: A week ago I found the threads related to de-yellowing the compacts (viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9381&start=0), …

Alright, I am tired of messing around with it today... I have three sticks of compatible RAM, which at various times have run in this box. None of them work. One of them allows it…

Recent problems with my MDD inspired me to get my first TiBook as a portable media machine, but I still need to get my tower working again. It is so flaky now I almost with I could…
