My iBook screen has started completely freaking out and there are different colored lines appearing vertically on it when I start it. Any ideas kids?

If it still does it with extentions turned off (hold shift on startup). I'd take it in and get it fixed.

yeah, its a no go. its still screwed up

Yup, I've seen a couple of these. Apple won't let us fix them in shop; so we dispatch them to Apple for repair. Take your iBook to your nearest Apple authorized dealer and have i…

Thanks, I'll take it in.

"hawkmankt", Do the lines go away after you start up? I had a similar problem with my PowerBook G3. Vertical lines were on my screen, changing color and eventually dissapating. Yo…

Sean, Thanks for the advice. I hope you're kidding about the "kids" thing. Its just a slang term.

If Dave Letterman can say "kids" . . .

Geez Sean, take a valium...

I'm having a similiar problem with my iBook but it usually goes away after the smiley Mac appears. On another note, I can't seem to watch VCDs in anything other than 256 colors. In…

"machaus", Okay, it was a joke, although quite on purpose. I was implying that I took slight offense to it and to refrain from saying that next time you post asking for help. Also…

hey i hate to bring this up but half the posts were rambling and incoherent also whats wrong with kids would you find "guys" incoherent and ramnling?

RAther than "kids" how about "ladies" either as used by Jerry Lewis (way back when, not recently) in a high pitched screech, or as used by the drill sargeant in Kubrick's "Full Met…

I just got a brand new iBook se and it refuses to wake from sleep. I have to reset the power manager by taking out the battery, etc..... Are there any known issues that may be…

Well, I have read that there is more than one cause for iBooks not to wake up out of sleep. My problem was cured once I turned off Disk Light 5.0.2, which is a component of Symant…

The "W" keycap on my iBook recently broke. When I contacted the CompUSA where I purchased the iBook, I was informed that they had no replacement keycaps for iBooks, and that I woul…

Apple has decided that they want to work on all iBooks directly, and will not ship service centers ANY parts. I think calling Apple (and shipping back you whole unit) might be y…

I called tech support and told them I didn't want to send my iBook in because of sensitive data on the drive, the told me they would send out a replacement keyboard if I was comfor…

Anyone have a scanner, zip drive, CDR with a scsi end that successfully used an adapter such as 'iscsi' to the USB ibook? All thanks

I have an original Wallstreet 233. For the last month or so, my battery will not charge. I've tried resetting the Power Manager (Ctrl-Fn-Shift-Power), resetting the PRAM, and usi…

Well, over the weekend I investigated a little more. I found that where the AC adapter plugs into the Powerbook, there's a copper-colored piece of foil. When I make sure the AC a…
