Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried all of them - different batteries (although they only last about 30 sec each), no battery, PRAM reset and PMU resets. Plugged in overnight, c…

You might also consider an open-firmware reset dance. Can't hurt, might help.

Wait a sec... Isn't there a PMU reset button? I also thought that the lappies have a CUDA somewhere, no? Pull the battery and run it off AC. Does the problem happen? How about o…

That is really, really weird.

Sorry to hear about your problems. In all the years I have been using OS 7, 8 and 9 I have never heard of the problem you describe. Hope you get it sorted out soon.

the dlink is bad what would be a good recomendation for my ibook wireless and g4 qicksilver, cube, blue and white wired

In a way. Here's an issue I've seen with iBooks running OS 9 before: as soon as the desktop loads, the powerbook falls asleep. Wake it up, it falls back asleep. No amount of PRAM r…

The only fixable cause of that symptom is a display cable problem. The flex cable is not infrequently to blame. If squeezing somewhere on the edge of the lid around the display mak…

I hope someone can help me! I have a powerbook 1400 which I use daily, however a short time ago it began having two bars on the right side of the display. These are most noticable…

Thanks!

...I wonder though, whether the 1400 even has the Adapter Sense circuits mentioned. Click to expand... Excellent question. As I write this I have a PB1400 running and charging…

When I turn on my Apple //e the just says "Apple //e" at the top, and nothing else happens. Click to expand... It's waiting for a floppy disk to boot. If you don't have one, h…

when it says apple II at the top you should be able to type unless you have a floppy drive hooked up then it will want a floppy to do anything.

Got it, thanks. I wonder though, whether the 1400 even has the Adapter Sense circuits mentioned.

Is there any noticeable difference with the mouse connected directly to the Mac, space (and time) permitting? Click to expand... Not any one of connecting the mouse to the DA d…

Why would we joke? This is a serious matter. A classic mac could be sick. Geez man get with it. [] ]'>

I can't figure this out. When I turn on my Apple //e the just says "Apple //e" at the top, and nothing else happens. I was expecting a prompt for Apple Basic. The Apple //e em…

Note that refers to the Powerbook G4 15" and 17", which I believe take the newer, smaller (but similarly shaped) power connector. So it may not be relevant to a 1400. By "outer se…
