Success! A tip for anyone doing this, get the guide from PBFixit, and use the screw chart.

I have the same problem with my Ibook G3 (12 in, 700), and my warranty just ran out. I have ordered a reed switch cable from smalldog electronics, but before I take my computer ap…

Discharge yourself or static electricity by touching an unpainted metal surface. Magnetic tipped screw drivers should do no harm but try to keep them away from the hard drive.

I took it apart, But I still don't know how to get the reed switch out of the hinge. Could you please help? Thanks a bunch!

Are you using a disassembly guide like the one on ifixit? You need to remove the back of the display and then change out the reed switch cable etc

Congrats EnVoy, it always feels good to disassemble a whole computer and having it working again afterwards . It's also a good chance to put in a DVDRW drive and maybe a 7200 rpm h…

Indeed, it is annoying. i hope that this wasn't intentionally allowed by the 'NN staff. p.s.: it also happens with "mac" or "os x", among many others.

YA THIS IS GAY. Seriously, do it in the blogs if you want. But the individuals whose words are being "sponsored" are not intending to have their words used in this way and are not…

Oooh. Now this is cute. I just deleted a thread in the PowerBook Forum created by a new member because it had one of these links in it. I just thought he was a spammer that put an…

According to the "what is this?" link in the advertisement, it appears to be a new policy on the part of MacNN: Quote: MacNN.com IntelliTXT Statement Version 1.0 Intel…

Don't like it. At all. Whatsoever. Period. If that crap show up in my psots, I'll delete them myself..

There are easy ways to block "intelliTXT". Just do a Google search. That being said, MacNN never fails to disappoint when it comes to doing downright annoying things in order t…

I hate them at other sites; I hate them here. Unlike banners or AdWords, I never click on them. Make them go away.

Oh no, not MacNN too! There was a mass defection at another forum I visit over these stupid things. Unless these things can pay for a new Cyborg Hamster, they suck.

WTF? How can I turn this off?

Can we double underline random words or our entire posts in a way that would make these useless. If no one ever clicks on them because they are hidden in our posts, what use would …

"Buy a Personal Computer at Dell." Everyone stop and think about that for a second. Voch

Maybe MacNN will block the Dell ones and leave the others in place. I hope not.

OMFG. : I fscking hate this kind of advertising. Who the hell decided to put that on these boards? And when are you turing it off? It's fscking annoying. What's next? Pop-ups? T…

OK, I'm trying to block IntelliTXT according to what I've found with google. Using PithHelmet in Safari I blocked *intellitxt.com* http://text.burstnet.com/*.js Unfortunately tha…

I'm not seeing this green text, but it looks like the linked script is at http://macnn.us.intellitxt.com/intel....asp?ipid=3078, so there is no *.js.

Telling PithHelmet to block *intellitxt* doesn't do the trick either.

they're in the options for users too!!!

This is way too annoying. This is no good at all.
