[Ti] Dead TI

[paulatx1 at aol.com]

If nothing else works to repair your Ti  and you are going to scrap it for parts, at least try to recover your hard drive.  Remove the harddrive ( directions can be found online, and if I can do it, you can do it ) and install the hard drive in a external hard drive enclosure.  I think it would be a 2 1/2 inch enclosure.  I'm not sure if it is  ATA/IDE  or SATA, but I would guess it is a ATA/IDE drive.  But the enclose for it, install the hard drive in the enclosure, then hook it up to another Mac computer (via USB cable) and that way you should have access to all the information on your hard drive!  A portable,external hard drive!     Macs should be able to ready your drive.  PCs will  not be able to read your drive  and will attempt to erase it and reformat it (and your data will be lost).

I  have a TI 1gig/1gig that until recently worked perfectly, but now will not 

start. The power supply is working (switched with my laptop) it has a new 

battery that has been in it for at least 6 months and all the lights on it show 

it is fully charged. I've held the power button down for 10 seconds, nothing. 

Took it to a User Group meeting and they pried the keyboard off to find the 

reset button...that didn't work.



Is there anything else I can try?
