A small subwoofer perhaps? I have a 10 watt IBM branded one (probably came with an Aptiva or some such) that complements my laptop speakers nicely.

The iBook G4 that was mine and then my uncle's is about to become my cousin's in a few days. My uncle insisted that he buy her a pair of speakers for the laptop. My question--do a…

Thanks to almeath, I could test it for myself. Here is my story: I tried to boot an existing 8.6 installation from my g3 b&w on the g4 sawtooth (it has the onboard firewir…

Funny price - I got one for free. Awful display. Slow. 99% chance the battery is useless.

He said he purchased a few and I guess opened one of them. I don't care for that model so I think the price is a bit steep. Wonder if the battery will even charge after all this ti…

Sealed? Then what laptop is in the picture?

I heard about the exploding batteries but nothing about case quality or anything like that. Mind you I was wondering a little while ago why you never see any 5300s anywhere.

I have a 5300ce got at the thrift store. External scsi devices will not mount on the desktop. I have the right SCSI cable. A hard drive,CD rom nor zip drive will mount. SCSI probe …

I'd take it if they paid me $150. My 5300 suffered from every known problem, it's the only machine I've ever just thrown in the bin.

Very nice, if a bit expensive!!!!

Just in time for Christmas, this 5300 PowerBook never opened, brand new sealed in box. Now you too can experience first hand the cracked cases, broken AC connectors, or spontaneou…

Is your memory fast enough? Click to expand... Yes it is, "512 MB 64x64 PC-133 CL2" is what the sticker says. Comes from OWC. i did notice something though. When I put the kerb…

There remains the question if the Lombard memory that you used is electrically compatible with the Pismo, and if not, then whether it (both the Pismo and the memory part) is still …

Tried disconnecting the PRAM the battery, nothing still. I installed the RAM correctly. I'm still lost!!! I tried checking for things that might be dosconnected, but nothing.

http://www.transintl.com/technotes/installram_pismo.htm says the memory electrical spec is somehow different... [?]

trying unplugging the pram battery

Hey guys, I have recently (2 months ago) aquired 2 Powerbook G3 Pismos. One is 400 MHz the other is 500 Mhz. The 400 has a cracked LCD and it doesn't boot. The 500 has "many missin…

The screen doesn't flash, the white led under the screen does. I think you are right about the memory. I found that 1 beep = memory problem, but I don't think its the actual memor…

Yeah thats the ram beeping. My PowerMac G4 did that when I didn't seat ram correctly.

A single beep -> could <- mean a wrong or not well seated RAM module. Regarding the screen flashing: try to connect an external display and see what happens. J

Got a Titanium PowerBook G4 (A1025) that has issues. Symptoms: Turning it on results in a Beep, then the led comes on, then flashes twice, then steady for a little while (couple …

David - That's excellent!

Anyone have any resources for refurbishing these 5.25" Drives? Click to expand... You'll find some general information here: http://home.swbell.net/rubywand/Csa2FDRIVE.html

Well I got both machines. The II+ was pretty rough... I got it for $25. I've cleaned out the case, motherboard and PSU. The power switch was broken so I'm sourcing a good one. As o…

Thabks David - I sent him an email. It seems he has a few items I would like.
