Shoot. I bought a rev. A 12" 867mhz powerbook a month ago.. It was perfect then.. but now I am noticing the wobble, and the aluminum right next to the latch-release button has po…

I just had the same problem. No wobble for 2 months. Yesterday - massive wobble that won't go away. Anyone have a fix?

Hey is this on the 12 inch? My girlfriend just mentioned her 12 PB wobbles due to the battery not seating flush! We went to the Apple Store in Clarendon, VA and got rude treatmen…

I found the end that wasn't balancing. Placed that end off the table and gently put pressure w/ my forarm while holding down the other side. No more rocking!

My 12" Rev B was perfect until I had the display replaced, then it wobbled. I brought it back to the shop I bought it from and within a few minutes it was perfect again. He just ha…

I'd call BS on Apple. No ****ing way would I accept a warped Powerbook.

My wife and I went into 2 Apple stores here in the Dallas area. At both stores, we were treated like dirt. The sales people were very rude, especially at the Knox street store in…

Rather na�vely I bought my 12" RevB PB with Superdrive assuming that any blank write-only DVD media would work fine. I went out and bought a box full of blank DVD+Rs, only to lear…

not really. DVD-R and +RW are totally different standards. if you had a DVD-Multi drive that supported +RW, then it would work, but macs don't come with those. That and matsushita …

I'm talking about DVD+R, not DVD+RW (I assume they're not the same thing?). I only realised there was a difference when I read the latest issue of MacFormat which reviews a dual-f…

+R is a derivitive of the +RW standard (it's called the +RW consortium or something like that. a group of companies that make +R/+RW stuff. they're not actually part of the DVD for…

Thanks a lot Albert, that's really helpful. I'd trust a regular here over a Future publication any day... I'll just have to offload those DVD+R discs on someone else...

FYI, if you are looking for good deals on bulk DVD-Rs check out Shop4Tech.com. I just bought a hundred 2x DVD-Rs for 60 bucks (free shipping included). Yes you will get several d…

I want to do a archive and install of 10.3 on my PB 1.25 since the computer is running flaky and its time to tidey up. I qualified for the 10.3 upgrade program so I got the upgrade…

Guess I have everyone stumped.

According to Macfixit, there's no other way

I used to visit Macfixit until they went pay. Thats why I didn't check there. Do I need to have a membership to view issues still?

I am trying to find any information about the meaning of the stop symbol on startup when the machine refuses to boot. Is it a bad RAM symbol or bad boot blocks on the drive? This i…

both are Lombards w/384 RAM. Once the Apple comes up on the screen it quickly displays a stop symbol and simply freezes. It will boot off the CD with the c key down and I did run D…

I'm currently trying to fix a friend's computer with the same problem. It is a dual G4/450 (with jaguar and classic partitions). I get the stop symbol both booting off the OS X p…

I just set up a separate machine for my wife and daughter (G3 box running 10.3.2). I created an admin account for myself and managed accounts for them. During setup I selected cert…
