I have recently acquired an 867MHz Titanium Powerbook G4. Since having it the past few days, I've learned this thing has got a huge set if problems. Most of these I think can be …

Yeah, they're really different beasts - Faulty iBook G4 chip: about ten legs, repaired easily enough - Faulty iBook G3 video chipset: about three hundred, inaccessible I can'…

Nice work - hope it goes well!I have a few iBook G3 500MHz's to repair at some point - I don't know why I like the icebooks - I just do Click to expand... The G3 IceBooks use B…

Posting from my phone so I'll keep this simple. The iBook is back from surgery, currently in intensive care but the procedure otherwise appeared to be a success. Just need to keep …

Will probably attempt the repair today. I have 2 chances to get this right (2 logic boards) but i'd like to get it right the first time around. Although we don't have the fine tip …

I assume ~tl will probably come in later on and back up what I'm saying, but yeah, its not going to happen, as others have said there's no need for it since what applies to one ver…

My iBook has the same problem. I might be tempted to rip it open and re-solder the GPU when I have some time. I've only had it a few weeks before it failed, but during that time I…

The current software forum doesn't have enough posting traffic to warrant splitting it up into sub-forums. Like others have said, most system software discussion between System 7 a…

This is a bad idea and a waste of time. Why would we want so many sub-forums? Simply leaving things in the Software forum is fine. There is no need to change how things are being…

A lot of what applies to System 6, 7, 8, or 9 also applies to each other. Additionally, the volume of posts is not that great. I don't think sub-forums are needed.

Any thoughts on the Sub-Forums, for each OS?

Followed the guide to the word, it failed, and I yanked the power and ditched the fan. Click to expand... So the fan "melted" or merely "failed" now? If truly melted, I for on…

Post count would be a horrendous idea because we've had trouble with it in the past. Back before the Great Crash of 2007 we had a post count display and actually had ranks based o…

I just don't think that is very useful.. Click to expand... It helps us find the noobs, that's about all.

I was thinking that maybe instead of just the "Software" forum we could have Sub-Forums for each of the system softwares up to OS 9? I'm not sure if this has been discussed before.…

12v DC does not melt a fan... Click to expand... Followed the guide to the word, it failed, and I yanked the power and ditched the fan. Click to expand... So the fan "melte…

All Icebooks could suffer from GPU problems. Regardless of what chip you had on there, ATI Radeon or a Rage 128, that board was gonna flex. I've seen a share of 500/600 G3's with A…

I remember my iMac asking to go down to 16 colors, so I know that's possible. I never used grays on the iMac, but it could be possible to go down to 16 grays. Click to expand...…

Well... the newest iBook exhibited a system lockup due to that chip this morning. Until now it had a pretty good run, 26 hours and counting without a hitch then as soon as it power…

Just as a useless note, SheepShaver will let you go down to 16/4 colors and B&W. On a PPC machine it runs using native CPU, thus it's potentially a more useful option then …

I have the Same iBook as well. No solder problem though.

My Clamshell iBook BlueBerry can go down to 256greys only. Its runnning OS 9.
