    G3 iBook screen stopped working

    Hi, I just had a look at the laptop and the screen is fine, its the backlight. Past about half way open the backlight turns off. Probably the cable still do you think? Is the light on a separate cable?

    G3 iBook screen stopped working

    That's a good idea, dunno why I didn't think of it. Even if the external monitor doesn't work, is it not possible that a bad connection would be sending back strange signals to the logic board which might confuse it?

    Audacity and Edirol

    I just realised I should probably give a little more info than that! I can select it in the input/output devices in both OS X preferences and the Audacity preferences, however when I click play, it says something about the device drivers and sample rate not being right. I don't think its to...

    G3 iBook screen stopped working

    I have a G3 iBook and recently the screen stopped working. My mum was using it while it happened. She said that it flickered a bit if she had it in a certain position, and that over time the position at which it flickered grew bigger. She used it recently and said that it went blue and then...

    Hard Disk Usage App

    I have a G4 iBook and I find it slightly annoying not being able to tell when the hard disk is active without putting my ear too it. Is there some small app that would let me know when the hard disk is in use? Maybe put a light on the bar at the top of the screen? Thanks.

    Hard drive going slow G3 iBook

    I am ahead of you on the firewire drive, I orderd a enclosure already to replace my current USB2 one. It would be nice to have a faster internal one as well though. Especilly as I am not sure the one firewire port will be able to cope with the soundcard I will also run on it. 10in/10out...

    Hard drive going slow G3 iBook

    I copied a file and doubled the speed the mb counter went up, as it has to read and write as you say. It also did about the same off the 100Base-T network. Smart status is Verified. I guess its just stupidly slow. Can I use any 3.5" laptop drive in the ibook G3? Or does it have to be the...

    Hard drive going slow G3 iBook

    I have a G3 700MHz iBook with 20GB HDD. I only seem to get about 4mb a second from the hard drive. Is this normal? It's too slow to do any audio work on. I thought maybe DMA iisn't enabled. Can anyone help? Surely it's faster than 4mb a second!
