I'm having a similiar problem with my iBook but it usually goes away after the smiley Mac appears. On another note, I can't seem to watch VCDs in anything other than 256 colors. In…

"machaus", Okay, it was a joke, although quite on purpose. I was implying that I took slight offense to it and to refrain from saying that next time you post asking for help. Also…

hey i hate to bring this up but half the posts were rambling and incoherent also whats wrong with kids would you find "guys" incoherent and ramnling?

RAther than "kids" how about "ladies" either as used by Jerry Lewis (way back when, not recently) in a high pitched screech, or as used by the drill sargeant in Kubrick's "Full Met…

I just got a brand new iBook se and it refuses to wake from sleep. I have to reset the power manager by taking out the battery, etc..... Are there any known issues that may be…

Well, I have read that there is more than one cause for iBooks not to wake up out of sleep. My problem was cured once I turned off Disk Light 5.0.2, which is a component of Symant…

The "W" keycap on my iBook recently broke. When I contacted the CompUSA where I purchased the iBook, I was informed that they had no replacement keycaps for iBooks, and that I woul…

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 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…
