    check the video out on a monitor and see if it looks the same. If it looks OK, there could be a problem in tha cable to the LCD or in the LCD harware.

    G3 333 Powerbook Lombard Bronze

    If you are going to run mac os x, run at least 10.2.8. I never had the fan in my Lombard turn on in earlier versions, and it would get very, very hot. Don't bother with the DVD card/logic board in OS X. It can't use it. Use VLC instead for barely acceptable DVD play back. Daystar has a 433 G4...

    ? Possible ?: Making a method that accepts either an object or primative?

    you can use : (void *) input, but I think you would need to make sure that you are passing a pointer to the double, rather than the double value. you would also need to figure out a way to figure out what is being passed. Off the top of my head, you could maybe check: if (sizeof(*input) ==...

    Sony ICD-MS515 memory stick voice recorder

    Can you just buy a mac compatible USB flash memory reader and put the memory stick in? It should show up like a hard drive on your Mac, then you can play the sound files.

    process scheduling

    Process scheduling in Mac OS X is performed by the Mach kernel (and BSD?). You can look up POSIX threads (pthreads) to see how to use it programatically. I am not sure what you are looking for, but this should be a start...

    Apple IIE transfers

    There was an old program for mac os 9 that would allow you to hook up a serial cable and transfer the disk contents that way. It would send a small program to the IIe that would do the transfer. I can't think of the name, but I did have success transferring disk images that way. Edit: maybe...

    Detecting memory leaks

    The xcode debugger should usually help in tracking down where the crash is occuring. adding break points and inspecting the retain count and value of the objects just before the crash can be helpful too. The main NSEnumerators retain each item while it is being enumerated. Make sure to...

    Problem with insufficient power to USB port

    Make sure the chip set on the PC card matches one supported by mac os x. I don't think you should have a problem though. I have not had a problem with generic USB cards on the Mac.

    Pismo Battrey

    If the lights came on, the battery might be ok, although sometimes batteries will have a slight charge and die when a load is put on them. Can you try it on someone else's machine? If the battery is good, it could be your PMU board. Pismos are pretty easy to take apart if it comes down to that.

    Pismo PowerBook, DVD spions then stops

    Have you tried booting from the drive? If you can boot from it, you can rule out a hardware problem. If you can't boot from it, it is more likely a hardware problem (unless Panther made some fimware change on the drive, which I doubt). When the CD ROM drive on my Lombard went out, it did the...

    Problem with insufficient power to USB port

    Get a cardBus (PC card) USB 2.0 card if you have the slot for it (some powerbooks do, some don't). They should be very cheap, and should provide enough power. Otherwise, have you tried a usb hub? there might be enough power on the bus to run the drive and the ipod, if you could connect them...

    Blue and white g3 hard drive disapearing

    Some of the old B&W G3 hard drive controllers are not very good and all of them are slow. You may want to try the drive in another computer and see if it works. A new PCI IDE controller card should be very cheap, so you should get one if the drive is ok.

    Powerbook 867 15inch - Sreen goes blank

    I had a similar problem do to a short in the wire going through the hinge on my iBook. Selecting a new resolution in the displays system preferences would turn the backlight back on for a while. --Eric
