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…

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

I'm in! The play around in January will give me something interesting to do.

I've already arbitrarily announced the informal "Winter Warm-up" on the RetroBBS. I guess you guys weren't paying attention ;-) Anyway, we'll go from Jan 1 to Jan 31st... as usu…

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…
