Apparently, you have an Aluminum powerbook. The "locking screw and usual sustaining tabs" are only on the old Titanium models. Removing the keyboard on an Alumnimun powerbook is much more difficult. I believe you have to take most of the stupid thing apart. It does not simply pop off the top as in the old Titanium models. Also, if you're thinking of replacing it, as you probably are, more bad news: The Alumninum and Titanium powerbook keyboards are different models, not interchangeable.

It's a second hand battery, so it's difficult to be sure where the problem lies. Better to find a new (or nearly new) battery and test it. - T From micky001 at fastmail.us Fri Nov 10 09:23:30 2006 From: micky001 at fastmail.us (Mykel) Date: Fri Nov 10 09:23:48 2006 Subject: [Ti] WTB/TRADE: G4 Titanium Hinges Message-ID: <1163179410.31812.275516421@webmail.messagingengine.com> Please let me know if you have a set of hinges for a Ti G4 and what you'd like for them in cash and also what you'd like to trade them for.

They are different sizes and, I'm sure, have many other differences. But you have a very valuable card there. If you have an old Ti (bigger) airport card you should sell it on eBay, because Apple does not make them any more, apparently they break a lot, and there are many people who need them for their Titanium powerbooks and other older Macs. You should be able to buy two or three of the newer (smaller) Airport Extreme cards with the money you get selling the (bigger) old one.

Wow. I've considered doing that, but concluded that even if I was able to get the keys back on with 98% reliability, I'd still end up with a broken one or two, so I've never tried.

I did it once on my Ti book, no issues, and twice on my Al Book (the type you have) and slightly screwed up the sensitivity of the V key as a result (nothing major but a quirk that a professional would notice). Basically you lever them off carefully and gently, and they "pop" off. I do this every time i want to clean under the keyboard. Putting them back can be tricky, make sure you have the plastic spring assembly under the key rotated in the right direction. If anyone has an alternative and safer way, please let me know! -- Tarik From jmsparks1 at verizon.net Mon Nov 20 12:36:44 2006 From: jmsparks1 at verizon.net (John Sparks) Date: Mon Nov 20 12:38:13 2006 Subject: [Ti] USB ADvice Message-ID: <4D4DF589-015E-408A-AD61-4280785EAF54@verizon.net> I have a Powerbook G4,867 Mhz.

Also the best place to put the wireless router for your house would probably be on the first floor. The maximum signal strength/range works mostly in a flat plain liked a CD. This is due to the antenna type and basic radio wave action. You'll get better range on the same floor than you will by going upstairs or downstairs.

I also have a D-link cable modem connected to base station for a hi-speed Internet connection. I use my Tibook on the first floor and the iMac on the second floor (both have airport cards). Somewhere I read that the Tibook Airport card uses the 802.11b protocol. So, the router must at least support that protocol. I visited someone who has a Linksys WRT54G and I was able to connect with no problem within 20 feet on the same floor. I never tried any other location so I don't know what range this might have. The Belkin routers have a lifetime guarantee. http://www.amazon.com has hundreds of reviews for all 3 mentioned brands. Some of those have some very good information. Belkin has a series of routers that are advertised with various ranges. In Walmart I've seen Belkin models that do 500ft and 700ft (that's optimal of course). Best Buy had a Belkin that did 1000 ft. Best Buy (at least in my area) sells various models of all 3 brands and some of the sales people were fairly knowledgeable. They seem to have a fairly liberal return policy in case the model you buy does not work in your situation.

I ordered a cable from www.macsupportstore.com. Their SKU for this cable is 922-4672 and the description is "Cable, CD-RW or CD-RW / DVD-ROM (Combo), Flex". You need a different cable as the connector on the drive is on the opposite end of the back side. The physical mounting hardware is also different. There is a site I checked that sells a tray and cable package for it but as I recall it cost about half the price I paid for my drive ($100). I can't remember which vendor that was, possible OWC. I opted to forgo the tray and engineer my own support. Initially I was going to use the carcass from the old drive to make a tray. That wasn't working too well so I made rubber spacers to support the drive. It is ugly but it works well.

Airport Base stations and Airport Express work best with a Mac because that is what they are designed to do. They're the easiest to set up and get working with a Mac. They are more pricey than the others, but it wasn't clear if that was one of your criteria. If price is a criteria, any of the name brands do pretty well; they're getting to be pretty interoperable these days. -- Dennis Fazio dfz@mac.com From gene at macnightowl.com Thu Nov 23 15:40:47 2006 From: gene at macnightowl.com (Gene Steinberg) Date: Thu Nov 23 15:40:58 2006 Subject: [Ti] need new wireless router: what works best with Mac?

Meanwhile, any FW iPod can be used as a bootable FW drive.

I had an external hard drive that I used to clone my TiBook hd with as a back up (cloning creates a bootable copy) and ever since I upgraded to 10.4.8, I can't get it to recognize the external drive anymore. This must be the reason, no? I am planning on buying the new desktop mac and use my tibook as my back up drive. Do you guys think that will work ok? Cloning from the desktop to the laptop? I sure am glad I found this list! Lots of great info, thank you! Suzanna On Nov 28, 2006, at 4:38 AM, Lord & Lady Calla wrote: As far as I know USB drives are NOT bootable on any newer Macs.

My Firelite was dependable for a few years, but then two of them "fried" in 2 days. Actually, the Firewire interface chip inside burned up for some reason (could smell it a little, upon taking it apart, found a little hole in the chip). Smartdisk would not sell me a new controller board, so, now I use a USB 2.0 enclosure for my backup drive with my new Mac instead of Firewire. There are cheaper, seem to be just as fast, and from other reports I've read on the internet, don't have this problem with "frying" that may have to do with the 30-volt DC power on the 6-pin Firewire connector. But I don't know if they can be made bootable or not.
