Except that only works if you already have a G4 Tower, and RedJack states he has a G4 Powerbook. The upgrades are also pretty pricey, so you're still looking at around $100-500 fo…

that may very well be, but G5's are still not cheap and considering how much more powerful even the first-gen 32bit Intels are (unless you plan on getting a last-generation G5, whi…

Intel. I'm not even sure why a G5 is still a consideration at this point. Unless you just really like the PPC platform, 2 internal HD limit, purchased obsolescence, and knifing y…

Didn't the Quad G5's have the max RAM of 16GB? Click to expand... You're right. All the older ones topped out at 4 or 8Gb.

It's cropped up a few times on the Apple Discussions from time to time.

Get off all your important data now, and chuck it. You can map out bad sectors but more will come, and within a short time everything will be inaccessible. JB

my cube died and on a surface scan tech tools found bad sectors. can I fix it or new drive time?

I never heard of that being possible. Maybe you'll want to go with an external solution.

I heard it's plausible but no one has made software for it.

Hi I have a old but cool Powerbook G3 Pismo and an Apple remote. Since the Pismo has an Irda port I wonder if I could pair my remote with my Pismo.

If calibration doesn't do it, then I'd say the battery's dead. I saw that wit my first gen "BlackBook": one day 85% of full charge capacity, and the next day it shuts off without w…

Quad G5 sounds so cool...just to say you have it. Nonetheless, an Intel Mac Pro will be on my radar in the next few months. No immediate plans as they are pricey but just gorgeous.…

That was the same case with my iBook. Calibrating did nothing.

First I'd suggest you go through a full calibration circle. The fact that the iBook shuts off without warning nor sleep seems to tell the battery doesn't know what's its charge.

It's striped using Apple's drivers? I think the G5 was the first to support booting with Apple's RAID drivers. Some forum posts indicated MDD may also support this. Xserve definit…

I checked...it's not a recall battery....therefore, that can't be it... any other ideas anyone?

It sounds like a dead cell possibly, or the chip board for the batteries is messed up, check to see if it follows under the recall program. https://support.apple.com/ibook_powerbo…
