    Pismo Mac OS X 10.4.11 Orinocco Silver drivers?

    I should've been a little more specific. I also wanted to work with Mac OS 9. I am pretty sure the WPA2 stuff doesn't work on Mac OS 9, hence the setting up of the original graphite BaseStation. I managed to find an original airport card in an iBook G3 clamshell I had and it works beautifully on...

    Pismo Mac OS X 10.4.11 Orinocco Silver drivers?

    I am looking for drivers for Mac OS X 10.4.11 for my Pismo. I have both Orinoco Silver and Gold cards as well as a Lucent WaveLan card and want to get wifi working. I already have an original Graphite Basestation working. I have done a few searches and all I can find is the IOExpert drivers...

    eMate 300 not working - "dead"

    Persevere. I have opened approx. 20 of them and never had a motherboard fail. Lots of display cables being cut and hinges breaking but never anything that stopped it working apart from a corroded barrel connector that was easy to diagnose and repair.

    eMate 300 not working - "dead"

    I have units where the light never comes on and still power up. However, I agree it is odd. Given the other symptoms it does sound like a power issue. You say you have tested the barrel connector on the power brick, next I would open it up and see if that power is making it through the female...

    eMate 300 not working - "dead"

    I opened a virgin eMate I got on eBay yesterday. The plastic is amazingly flexible compare to its Mac contemporaries. Just don’t forget the screw in the handle. It is hard to see as the rubber plug that covers it the same colour as the unit.

    eMate 300 not working - "dead"

    Try this specific sequence if you haven’t already. Plug in the AC adapter, wait about 30 sec, hold down the power key, press the little reset button on the back while still holding down the power key for another 30 sec. Release the power key and hopefully about 1 minute later you should see the...

    No dumb questions? Maybe this one…

    Apple Service had a part number which was a bag of 100 mouse balls.

    eMate 300 not working - "dead"

    Dumb question but do you have the sound and contrast sliders turned up? I have been caught out my this before. I had a unit which didn’t show the green or orange power light but was on. I just could see or hear it.

    Keep in mind this was my experience with units coming from the Singapore factory. Things could have been very different for units coming out of the Cork factory.

    Everything from LC to LC475 all had the screw. I do remember a batch of Performa 400's that were delivered without the screw. We had to send a screw to each school who requested them.

    They all shipped with the screw. It was considered an extra deterant to the theft of internal parts in education environments. The theft of RAM was a big issue. So was mouse balls but that was much harder to stop.
