The reason I say its probably only a minor problem, is that in my experience, after spilling liquid on an electrical device, I just open it up and use a hair dryer (not a good idea…

I've seen this several dozen times in the Service Center where I work. Nine times out of ten, it's only the keyboard that shorts out requiring a simple dry-out and replacement of t…

Thanks for the advice...my dad sent it in to Apple for repair using his extended warranty. We'll see what they say -if they demand payment, which they might, he'll pay .Otherwise w…

Even if it is just the keyboard... "well, we needed to replace the logic board, and the ram too..." That will be $1300 thankyou... Cipher13

GOOD NEWS! The powerbook came back today with a new keyboard, working perfectly! No charge, courtesy of Apple Extended Warranty! My father is happy which means I'm happy too since…

As far as I know the PowerBook will only support one extra screen but I'm waiting for someone to prove me wrong as usual!

Each monitor requires a video card.... powerbooks have only one.... My PB 300 can only do video mirroring and also the screen must be open because of heat issues... as for a seco…

2000 PowerBooks �CAN! drive two monitors at the same time. All you have to do is put the Pismo to sleep. Wait a good 15 seconds. Then attach the new monitor. And lastly open(wa…

yah, i inadvertently discovered the two monitor thingy during an in-class demo...i dont think they quite understood why their teacher was jumping up and down and such...my only con…

I got a 256M upgrade from 1-800-memory and it was 2-2-2 and works perfectly in my Pismo. WhenI bought it 3 months ago they were way lower than anybody else at $189.

Avoid cheap RAM. It is often unreliable. This causes more crashes than anything else. I have had good experiences with Micron RAM. The price is low and the quality is incredible.

I, too, ordered from Micron/Crucial, and it has been perfect, not to mention at a very good price. tooki

hey guys..... i just looked into the micron ram, and it is significantly more expensive than the ones listed at ramseeker.com 128 megs is $150, 256 is over $380! right now, 1-80…

Wow very nice, cool ideas.... A slot loading dvd rom drive is what Apple should have done a long time ago. Anyway what program did you use to do the 3d in? Cimema maby, or Maya? -…

Very nice, suhail. I would add onboard AirPort to the new Duo, however. AirPort is vital on a subnotbook. With AirPort in both machines, you could also "dock" with non-docking mac…

Hey, good ideas! Here's my take on things... I think the dock is too functional, and is basically a computer in itself. I would understand if the subnotebook was like a PDA, much …

Thanx for the input http://forums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/smile.gif Here is a diagram of where the components reside. The Upgrade-Slot on the old Duo held a Co-Processor. To take the up…

Maybe you can have a second processor in the dock, of exactly the same frequency setting. Multiprocessor notebook when docked... (crowd cheers)... http://forums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/…

I'm sure you can put dual processors in the Dock since the current G4s can handle duals in the same processor slot. But I don't think its possible to have the G3 active when the Do…

No. I mean this: If you have one processor in the PowerBook, why not have a second one (identical processor) in the dock?

That was a problem I faced, too. I don't quite know how to make them "talk" to each other, frankly. http://forums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/smile.gif Anway, I don't think it's going to h…
