dead PowerBook G4 500 — #2

Reseat your RAM. My iBook wouldn't boot because its ram stick somehow came loose. Usually when RAM is in halfway it will blink the sleep light.

Can IrDA be manually controlled? — #4

You might need some sort of direct hardware access to do that because it isn't a typical serial signal. I really don't know where to start, though. IrDA can also receive IR signa…

Should I do it? — #3

My thoughts exactly. I had Leopard on my dual 450 G4 with 1.12GB of ram and the Radeon 7000, it was alright, but it gets annoying after a while. Leopard seems to chew on hard drive…

The only thing is, if you're using an old Apple display, the monitor must be a multisync monitor, ie: a Multiple Scan or AppleVision Display. If you're using a third party SVGA mo…

Should I do it? — #2

Tried it on a G4 450 with PCI Radeon Mac Edition + 1GB RAM. It ran like an absolute dog compared to 10.4. It's not especially fast on my 1.33 Ghz G4 and that's way above the spec…

iBook battery reset => Back alive? — #3

AFAIK, there is no reset app on the clamshell -- the one that I'm familiar with works with the earlier G3 powerbooks. On the clamshell, only an extension gets installed, and it's …

Powerbook 2400 — #4

The flickering is a sign of insufficient voltage. Either the battery is marginal, or the power regulator board has a problem. The crashing could also be due to power instability. …

Using OF commands, after amending the settings for thermal-info I got the fan to turn on straight after booting, by setting them to 01010200 00000000 01010200 00000000. With the o…

Ah, that would be my bad. You can hook one of the older Apple monitors up to that port I think, but don't quote me on that. Click to expand... Yes you can. The port is the old …

Powerbook 2400 — #3

I've got a 2400c spec'd very similarly to yours. My NUpwr is the 240MHz variety. Anywho, I couldn't say anything for sure about the first issue. It could be that something's aging…
