The 12 display is a DS 800x600 (or whatever the mac resolution is). Are the hinges loose? Major issues with wallstreets is the 2 cables that are along the hing to the LCD get cut …

There are two connectors to check on those. One is on the mid-left of the machine, under the keyboard, to the right of the PCMCIA card cage and cooling fan. It's covered mostly by…

Good to hear you got it going. I second what Ben said - before you buy anything, try reseating the keyboard cable, or failing that, cleaning the contacts.

I just bought a Powerbook G3 Wallstreet. It was sold as working from ebay. I open it up and turn it on and BOOM! Lines allover the LCD. The LCD is fine, but it looks like some kind…

What he said. Sadly, CRTs are pretty much "out of fashion now", including most of the iMac G3 models, meaning that they sell for quite little and even go for free. Your iMac is wor…

Are you sure the keyboard is broken? You could of just knocked the card bay into place that time.

The 233 bondi blues aren't worth much, maybe $20. The G4 upgrade is worth more, probably at least $100 because of the rarity.

So a few months ago I bought an iMac from the thrift store to play around with, mostly because I have never used one before. I really bought it to teach myself how to repair and u…

I did what you suggested LCGuy, but it still only plays the "death chimes" Edit: I went a little further and found out the PCMCIA card bay was loose, that fixed my "death chime" i…

Have you tried booting it up in a "barebones" configuration? By that, I mean, only the onboard RAM, no HDD, no expansion bay device, no video out/ethernet card, no PC cards, etc. I…

I would have looked at the Sad Mac, but none shows on the screen. My HDD is perfectly fine, but thanks for your help anyway.

Take heart. If you looked at the code under SM you may have seen that it was once more a result of the commonest cause of Sad Mac: nnnnnn0F, indicating a software fault. Hardware…

I have this PowerBook 1400c/166 that has been working great until recently, when I turned it on and I got the infamous "death chimes" I went through the system, dismantled the e…

Hrm. 4 MB should be sufficient for up to 1280x800 at 24-bit (Millions) color.

Yeah I saw that, problem is it needs the ATI card with 8MB not 4MB which is what I have. It's worth a try I guess... When I read that I thought "isn't the snow iBook's display con…

i found this http://forums.macnn.com/73/mac-modification/305763/clamshell-ibook-questions-lcd-cd-logic/ i hope this helps ps, I have not tried it so good luck.

Is that even possible? Aren't the connectors and dimensions all non-standard and proprietary and mean? I'd love it if it was.

Just go on ebay and buy one. They aren't expensive especially if you can find an install disc that was made for your model machine rather than a full retail disc. LEM also has a pa…

Does anyone know where I can find a higher resolution LCD for my poor clamshell? I love it to bytes but I cannot for the life of me use 800X600.

porter Of course you can, but I deliberately wrote 'working computer', which is entirely different from a functional computer without an OS. dogbiscuit Make sure also that you d…

.... and it is an offence to do so when the Mac was originally sold with one. Click to expand... I can sell a car without it being roadworthy as long as the buyer is aware.

Oh I see, I'm really with it, just didn't know it...

You are already running the latest version of 10.4! Apple's OS numbering goes 10.4.8, 10.4.9, 10.4.10, 10.4.11, etc. Generally, later version provide bug fixes and general improve…

Yeah, I think that makes sense. This is off the subject a little but, I'm using 10.4.11 now, can anyone give me any reason to upgrade to 10.4.3 or 10.4.4...4...5...6...etc (or to …

If the machine is for personal use then I would say that you're pretty much in the clear. Things like this are only really dodgy if you are using an install of an OS or other softw…
