I still have to send mine in...and if it's like Tooki says, that makes me very happy. But I wonder if they are in short supply now...how long it will take for them to get back in …

Got my last run ti back in threee days back in Nov. I had the same thing on the status page and it didn't change to being done or complete (whatever they write) until a couple of h…

As I was getting out of my chair I snagged the power adapter cord which dragged my powerbook onto the floor. Luckily it was closed before it fell and it still works! Should I be wo…

If it still works I wouldn't worry about it. You might want to check for straightness of the screen and things like that see if it is still level other than that if it works I woul…

With my old Tibook 500 I tripped on the cord and if flew off the coffee table about 26" down. I trashed my yoyo adapter but the laptop has been fine for 6 months.

The moving parts on your powerbook are the ones you should have an eye on. Especially the harddrive is sensitive to abrasion, so I would back up my data immediately if you haven't …

The exact same thing happened to me and my 12" (Rev A) back in April, except the only damage was to the lower left corner (dent) and it has not suffered any malfunctions or problem…

well...lets say you are lucky! the most delicated part on the 12 is the display....the processor itself is kind of stable, so the display is all u gotta worrie abt...notice any whi…

Haven't noticed anything at all, I was so relieved! I guess my boyfriend is light on his feet... I still have the dent from the earlier episode and although I haven't called apple…

I'm watching TV last night, and I heard a clicking noise. I followed it back to my PowerBook. The clicking was coming from the front left (its a 12"). The thing was locked up - …

It could be going bad. usually that is a sign of a drive going bad. If it continues to do it I would worry. If not then I would just keep an eye/ear on it

if it's clicking it means the heads are hitting each other. back your data up immediately. chances are it will fail, don't take a risk by waiting to back up.

backup all your data buy a new one be happy.... the clicking noise is the first signal of a HD death.... If you don;t have a external FW HD (portable or not), it's also a good time…

The HD in my Cube made that clicking sound before it eventually died. It was the original Western Digital that shipped with the Cube. I replaced it with a Maxtor and haven't had …

I'm with you on this one, there has been a ticking noise for quite some time. Well since I have gotten it. The thing is if I shut my powerbook down and then start it up, it stops…

I've had the same problem with my Powerbook (Ti DVI) for a few months now; it has made some very odd/loud clicking noises at random times. I've run norton and it tells me that the …

I would like to know if this is the harddrive or the fan. Maybe we should build a report, it would be nice to get this settled. I want a new harddrive if this is the case, and the…

Quote: Originally posted by wallinbl: I have an Apple Store nearby. I could actually drive it there next time this happens. If I were to have to leave it clicking over…

good luck! mine did that, within three days it failed completely.

Damn thing is done for at this point - I can't even boot before it locks.

Well, I took it outside (it's 42 degrees) and I have it running (I've read that heat can cause the clicking). I'm backing up everything I can think of to DVD. I suppose that at t…

It's been working for several days now without any issues. I'm not sure whether I'm happy about that or not.

Next time it locks up, call Apple!
