*Mini ITX Motherboard (I went for the low power Intel Atom single core)* Isn't this considered to be a hackintosh?

I would personally replace the CD drive with a DVD, i'm not sure which portable you have, but check ebay, either way, it doesn't really matter which drive you get so long as you get a Slot or tray loading (again i don't know which model you have) Or you can boot it up via target disk mode...

If a 15" PowerBook didn't have a backlit keyboard, would it still have the controls on the F8 F9 and F10 keys? It does have the ambient light sensors, but no backlighting? I tried the app Lab Tick and it says your macintosh does not appear to have a backlit keyboard, my Last 1.67 had an option...

hmm i thought the wireless keyboards came with a cable for that "Just in case" situation, which you appear to be in :/ i would use a USB keyboard mentioned above..

iBooks use the battery as PRAM, there is no battery soldered the board.

Its very common the video chip goes out on the iBook's, does the computer seem to be on while the screen is black?

Gold? I've never heard of that happening!

Well what brand of ram did you put in? The whats the speed of it? Alot of times, speeds can be interchanged. so you may have up'd your ram amount, but slowed your speed down.

G4 titanium-Yes, Aluminum 12" yes these models either have tabs like the iBook's, or the 12" you have to pop off 4 keys to get to the screws, and then theres 1 black screw under the ram door. the 15" and 17" are all one piece, because they are illuminated, so changing the keyboard is a little...

Okay, Thanks for the help, ill try the ram i guess, it was only 10 bucks on ebay, so i guess i won't be out on anything, i paid 200 and it came with the 17" cinema display, keyboard and mouse, so i guess i could give it a go on ebay if all else fails. do both processors interchange? I can't...

Yes the metal can become very warm to the touch, it may be time to service your CPU with some thermal compound. (clean your fans too)

I just picked up a PowerMac for a really good price, But, I'm having some trouble troubleshooting it, When i turn it on, i get no startup chime, nor display, if i take off the airdeflector, the fans spin rapidly, and also i get 2 blinks, which from what i have read means no ram/faulty ram, but...

Yeah when i still had my 15" Powerbook it had to be enabled, so you'd want to check there first, like djack said.

What kind of PowerBook is this?

I didnt mean it to be offensive, im sorry. I just remember a couple of months ago trying to help you out with your G4
