Or just fix the cable. The inverter cable's wires are easily re-insulated with heatshrink tubing. Since replacement would require disassembly anyway, there's no additional work inv…

They range from $15 to higher.... http://shop.ebay.com/items/_W0QQ_nkwZibookQ20G4Q20inverterQ20cableQQ_fromZR40QQ_mdoZ

ugh damn...any idea where I can get one? ebay? Thanks!

It sounds like the lovely pinched inverter cable issue. The snow iBook's are known for this problem, your best bet is to get a new cable.

Hey there! I'm having a few problems with my iBook G4's screen. 1. Sometimes when brightness is all the way up or almost all the way down, the screen flickers but stays that way …

Soon I'll have an 88mb SyQuest Drive & 7 disks. [|)] ]'>

I've tried multiple known-working disks on the Zip. The SuperDisks sound pitiful. I think I'll be looking for a SCSI SyQuest or maybe an external SCSI HD. I haven't seen eithe…

My experience with at least the later Syquests hasn't been good. They're basically hard disks, and it seems too much to ask them to be removable, too. Their 40MB and 80MB disks see…

AND NOW I HAVE THE CLICK OF DEATH!! :O > Click to expand... I had a good SCSI Zip Drive I got from my sister for a couple of years and then it went click of death on m…

I'll probably end up getting another… Unless I get one of those SyQuest thingers. Has anybody used them? Are they better? :?: EDIT: Oh, and SuperDisks! How are those?

Yeah, that happens... Sorry

AND NOW I HAVE THE CLICK OF DEATH!! :O >

The best one I had was not really the same class (it was my grandmother.) She complained that one day her iBook just stopped running, and nothing she could do could get it running…

... I can't believe that, with such a long history of failures, laptop manufacturers haven't devised a more robust method of getting power. ... Then again, it's absolutely brillian…

I just set up one of my IIe's on my desk. I have it sitting under my 20" Dell LCD, which has a composite input, and setup a serial connection (Keyspan PDA Serial-USB adapter) to my…

you still need to make sure that the drivers are installed. if not the game server wont see the port

never played with anything more than a IIe. Have always wanted a gs, of course. -digital

for those that do not know, to boot a IIe (and I had to remember how to do this), when you flip on the power, you get Apple //e at the top of the screen, it is scanning for a disk.…

after a month of waiting, I finally got the damn thing sometime while I was away the past 3 days. It works just fine, has a 5.25 disk controller card in slot 6, and a Super Serial …

MagSafe is indeed wonderful. I wish more portable devices had something similar. That said, the pre-MagSafe connectors still seem underdesigned for no particularly sane reason (ot…

Glad you got it working.

Until it catches fire...one thing that i'm going to be incredibly paranoid about when i get my MacBook (no, i'm not dissing MacBooks...i'm going to OWN one in a month or so!)

Yes, it's surprising how many 'books (and windows laptops) have been afflicted with this same problem. I can't believe that, with such a long history of failures, laptop manufactur…
