If memory serves me correctly, you can't run your lines to your TV via a VCR. They must run directly to the TV. If yours is the new Pismo it should come with an S-Video to RCA conn…

also dont forget mini plug to rca connection so you can get audio out to home entertainment system.well hope that helps. http://forums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/smile.gif

I run the audio from the headphone port on my Pismo directly to my VCR, because I have an older TV with no direct video or audio in (there's only the RF in) Unfortunately, I get th…

I think I've posted something like this on another topic, "Can't watch DVD on a TV" I think, but here goes anyway. As far as I am aware S-video only uses 4 pins: 1 - Ground (LUM.)…

Well I have watched many DVDs with my Pismo connected through my VCR, absolutely no problems at all. The composite/SVHS output of the Pismo does not include audio, so you have to …

Can anybody tell me if i can connect a Zip drive (SCSI) to a Powerbook 150, with system 7.5??? thanks

If you install the Iomega driver, a SCSI Zip should work fine with a PowerBook 150. I thought I was the only person who had a 150... what to you still use yours for? ------------…

All rught , i got my new PBG4 550 about two weeks ago...was perfect checked for dead/stuck pixel, didnt find any at that time...no problems whatsoever actually. Anyway, i noticed a…

Some pixels are dark pixels and some are light pixels. Souds like you have a broken dark pixel.. Same thing on my last Powerbook... You can't massage a dead dark pixel back to lif…

sounds good. will do

Some pixels won't respond to massaging. Sorry!

is this normal? i don't think it is. i mean, i open the lid to wak from sleep and the fan goes on. i can't be 100% sure about this but i don't think this was always the case, it …

I bet it's your hard drive. My Ti 400 had a really loud hard drive that sounded like a fan. Try running iTunes with the visualizer on until the fan REALLY comes on and you wil…

I'd recommend the Tilt 'n Tote handle for the TiBook. I was pretty concerned about the heat/fan issue when I first got my TiBook and it *was* pretty hot (esp. over the "SDF" are o…

my fan only comes on when I set my Tibook on my bed and use it... that's the only time it ever has... and I think it has to do with the lack of ventalaion sitting on my cheap blan…

huh, it just might be my hard drive. i was concerned that the fan was going on immediately even when my powerbook isn't really that hot, but maybe it isn't. let me ask this... whe…

There is always a background humming noise. The best way to check if the fan is on is to look. I kid you not. When running the computer, just pop off the keyboard. If the fan is …

thanks, i'll cheeck that out as soon as i get home. Quote: Originally posted by Arcayx: <STRONG>There is always a background humming noise. The best way to chec…

I would guess it's your HD as well. My TiBook is almost dead quiet when on w/o the fan, I have to put my ear to ear to tell sometimes. Taking off the keyboard is actually a good tr…

ok, the verdict is in... i flipped open my keyboard and my hard drive is indeed the culprit. does anyone know what would cause my harddrive to be so damn noisy? if it matters, …

Actually, the keyboard does help disburse the heat. The underside near the top does come into contact with heat conducting and disbursing elements and, as far as I know, was design…
