It will in OSX, but OS9 requires it for audio as Franklinstein said. I think it gives some sort of error about audio hardware on boot, but I can't remember for sure.

I've never tried, honestly. Probably because I always wanted it to have one, usually the Wings card. Anyway, the way those things are designed, the Personality Card slot is essent…

Will a beige g3 mobo run without a personality card installed?

It's fixed. I had to reset the Open Firmware password, then go to single-user mode and force a new admin account to be created. Although they were given a set of Mac OS X 10.4.10…

I received a MacBook to repair from a customer. Being a used laptop, it had the password from the previous owner still on the unit. So far I have tried going into single-user mod…

Popped the bugger out, shot it with compressed air, shot a little air inside the machine, popped out the tray and gently sprayed in there a bit, popped it back in, and boom! That …

Mind sharing the technics?

Nevermind, some 'persuasive techniques' managed to get it working fine

Well, I've found issue number two; the pismo seems to be fine with DVDs, but it refuses to do anything with CDs, kinda obliterating my hopes of Jaguar. Has anybody experienced one …

Curses, I was hoping to avoid that... Anybody know a good source for pismo batteries?

You have taken all of the normal steps to revive a dead battery. Regrettably, it is no more. It is pining for the fjords. It is an ex-battery. Re-celling a lithium-ion battery is …

LiIons are a pain. I've got some for my 3400 and 2400 that still hold at least an hour's charge, and several for Lombards/Pismos/iBooks that are dead as hell. I'm pretty sure that…

I just got myself a Pismo (poke around conquests ), and my only problem with it is that the battery is flat as a board. It shows up as empty and fully charged; if I pull it out …

Read the help doc and found out that when the vga monitor is hooked up a to a monitor, a dialog box shows up in the monitor and sound panel. The powerbook is not seeing the monitor…

Just one thing - remember that VGA port on the 3400 only allows mirroring - you cannot run an extended desktop on any PowerBook 3400.

Additionally, sometimes turning the machine on at an angle and holding down the trackpad button is required for a 'gravity assist'.

No luck. It looks like he deleted some control panels. Will re-install 8.6.1

Depending on what System you're running, try checking the "PowerBook Display" or "Monitors and Sound" control panels to see if anything is available there. Also, the "Video Mirrori…

How do you get the VGA port going? Is there a setup or function key to press?

I just took apart one of the G3 AIOs that was arcing particularly violently. I blew everything out with canned air and jiggled the analog board a little bit and now, so far at leas…

Doh! I wished I had thought of that....

It is probably a combination of what Unknown_K said and the fact that I think the "remaining time" shown while its plugged in is time until fully charged.

Are Lombard batteries anything like Wallstreet ones? On a Wallstreet the lights on the battery are on when it is charging and when fully charged they go out. You could have issues…
