When the system is rebooted, the fan starts but there is no start up chime. This continues for about 5 secs and the system shuts down with a loud beep. After attempting to reboot many times the system...

Okay, so I've been trying to google and search on forums on how to get past this, but I see that it would probably be best to just ask for help. Here goes.. I have a 17" Powerbook G4 1.67ghz running on Mac OSX with the newest version (I just let it update itself when there's a new update for the OS). Also, I don't have the original CD and my CD drive does not work and hasn't worked ...

Okay, I've had this USED laptop since last August, and up until last month the internet was super awesome and fast and lovely. Then, I'm ALMOST POSITIVE, the last update was like some big Adobe THING, and it seemed like soon after that my Airport connection was very low (like 1 or 2 out of 4 bars are full) in comparison to before, and my internet REFUSED to load anything. After googling...

I gave my grandson my PowerBook G4 Titanium. After a while, it wouldn't charge and the power cord had a short. I bought him a new power cord - looks just like the original (round body, 2 part cord). The powerbook still won't turn on. Will the laptop turn on with the battery removed (using power cord)? Could it be a bad power cord? Bad battery? Is the battery exchange program still in ...

Ok, so I apologize if there is already a thread for this. But I have a 12 in powerbook G4 with 2 gig of memory and a 120 gig harddrive. I would like to put leopard on there for a couple reasons. Running windows on a seperate partition is one of them... Doesn't leopard have bootcamp as part of the os? My specific question is, what exactly do I need to look for when I am searching for a ...

I've had my 15" G4 PowerBook for around 5 or 6 years, and it's had a few problems, but now it is no longer starting up properly (does not get past blue/grey apple screen) and was wondering if anyone could enlighten me as to what the problem might be and what can be done about it. Firstly, it did need a complete hard drive replacement within it's first year, and it also had a failure of one ...

I have a G4 PowerBook (PowerBook5,3 : early 2004, 17", 1.33GHz, 1.5GB RAM) running 10.5.8. I no longer use it for anything heavyweight (e.g. video transcoding); it is now just my web/e-mail/latex/iTunes/etc machine. The only problem I have with it is the painfully slow start-up and app launch times due to the HDD. There is nothing wrong with the HDD itself, it's just a 6 year old mechanical ...

I cannot seem to figure out what is causing this. I've looked at ...
