PEOPLE, please read the TOPIC of this thread... it is NOT about anything but the keyboard... please get back on topic, thanks

Good activity over on MacFixIt lot's of people calling Apple and starting a case with Apple repair. Not much over here anyone called and complained or opened a case?

I have many friends with G3 powerbooks (from 99 to pismo), myself included (pismo), and I wont say they all have that problem 'cause Im not shure, but I would make that affirmantio…

After having my Powerbook for about 6 weeks, the dreaded key marks are showing up on my screen. I just got off the phone with Apple, and they gave me the "oil from your fingers... …

I have had a PowerBook 520c and PowerBook 540c both worked great and just won't die. They are small and yet big enough to work on. They are light but they don't feel cheaply lig…

Can anyone with an SE FireWire iBook give me the mfr and part # of the DVD drive shown in the System Profiler? Thanks, Bill

Don't post this in two forums, and don't post it in the inappropriate forum.

Is there a way to upgrade the video chip in this machine?

I'm sure it's possible with hours and hours of soldering and hacking work. I would say it's impossible, but everything's possible. In other words, the task is impossible. http://…

The DVD kit uses a hardware processor on a PC card, so I'd guess that you can do some video off of the motherboard. As far as replacing the onboard processor, forget it.

I cannot connect with my Wallstreet II internal modem - and testing the modem with software comes out nil: no connection, no dial tone. So, before I go out and purchase a new int…

I don't think the Wallstreet's modem is similar to the modem in the iMac. I believe the Power Macintosh's modem is similar to the one in the Wallstreet. Correct me if I'm wrong, g…

Actually, krabat is absolutely correct that the modems are alike: the tray-loading iMacs, Blue and white G3, and Yikes! (PCI Graphics) G4s all inherited the Wallstreet internal mod…

yes, but how to test it OUTSIDE of the PB? krabat

I don't know.

Anybody know? Thinking: CAN it only be tested when attached to the motherboard, or does a testplatform with powersupply exist, that a super mac-enthusiast might have...? It costs a…

Howdy. This is my first post in the forum, but I'm in need of some advice. I'm a college student, and I'm looking for a laptop because I'll probably be spending 6 months in the Un…

Nobody knows anything 'cept Jobs. OK, now that this is out of the way... Here's my guess: Seybold: OS X beta released (absolutely, for they said they would release in summer). …

I appreciate your reply. I'm still a little wary, what with all the problems posted in this forum with recent Mac laptops, especially the Pismo (notably the key marks/screen impres…

Well, the people I know who bought the Pismo 400 (only one 500) were (and still are) absolutely thrilled. I'm going to buy the 400 MHz PowerBook in september, unless Apple speed-bu…

You know, I was in the same boat right before the Pismo PowerBook came out. I needed a PowerBook, and I bought a Lombard 400, and was quite happy with it. About 2 months later the …

Definitely go with the Pismo. I should have waited to buy mine because I got it before that educational deal started... It's a great machine, but upgrade the RAM as soon as you ge…

The one thing that is likely to encourage Apple to speed bump the PowerBook line is if they introduce new or speed bumbed iBooks. Since the iBook SE runs at 366Mhz and current slow…
