Oh and the other difference is that the high res has a dual layer superdrive.
I honestly don't know the answer to that question.
Theoretically it shouldn't make any difference as they both use the same GPU, but knowing Apple there's probably some subtle difference that makes it impossible to...
Ahh the low res one.
I have a high res and low res 1.67, 17 inch and to be honest there's not really a lot of difference between them that I can tell. The most obvious difference is the the higher resolution screen, which I admit is useful but only if you use the laptop as a laptop! I use both...
Shame!
Keep your eye open for a parts machine on eBay with a busted screen/busted case/missing RAM/HD etc. and hope the logic board is good.
Don't bother with the 'sold as seen and untested' logic boards you find on eBay, it's odds on they're faulty. Sold as seen and untested is eBay speak for...
Hey ccc
Thanks for your input.
The drive is for my G4 Titanium which I use primarily as a Classic OS 9 machine so compatibility with Classic OS would be important. I have a faint recollection that when using non-Apple OEM optical drives missing that firmware information means you can't boot...
I've just checked the Apple Service Manual for this machine and you're right, it will boot with the battery out - but ONLY if you're using the correct power adapter - which ccc isn't.
However, resetting the PMU should be the next step really.
Then with respect, you probably need to find yourself a new hobby, because fixing these old machines has no guarantees attached to them. A lot of it is trial and error - there are no guarantees anything will work 100%.
However, being slightly, but not hugely philanthropic in nature, I'll offer...
The machine should still boot with the power adapter plugged in even though the battery is bad, although, if the battery has been allowed to drain to nothing you may have problems. It will not boot with the battery out and the power supply plugged in. The psu unit for the Titanium and later Alu...
Heya
The DVD drive on my Titanium laptop has started playing up and ejecting discs. It's running Classic OS 9.2.2 and I've checked all the correct extensions are in the Extensions folder. I've tested it with a known working DVD and CD and it whirrs a few times as if it's reading the disc and...
I have some power adapters from that era made by LiteOn so I'd venture a guess that they only made the power supply. Given that it's an Apple branded made by Quantum drive in there, I would think the external casing was designed and built by Apple.
Well that isn't going to work given that Macintosh clears the RAM disk at shut down.
This information isn't that hard to find if you make an effort to find it -

Just seeing that Performa 6400 gives me the eebie jeebies!
As in my opinion that machine was probably the worst pile of donkey doo doo Apple ever produced. To work on it was an absolute nightmare, build quality was rubbish and typical cheap junk made for the home consumer.
I also disagree that...
Going back on topic, regarding browsers.
I've got a Safari extension called ClickToFlash which blocks flash content with a plain white box. If you want to load the flash content you just click the box.
I've found it to be an absolute godsend in speeding up Safari browsing and the difference is...
Congratulations on your new acquisition.
Those aren't the original power adapters by the way. At least they're not the same as the one I have for my Bronze Keyboard 333, which I've owned pretty much since 6 months old and purchased it from the original owner. The correct power adapter is a long...
Unfortunately you assume wrong! The G3 Lombard (both 333 and 400Mhz versions) have no internal airport slot, therefore cannot use the airport card from your ibook.
They do however have a PC Card type I/II slot which you may be able to use with a wireless card of some form.
With regards to...
There are a number of things going on here which may or may not be interrelated, but you need to start proving some knowns and unknowns before trying to tackle all of the possible problems.
The first known or unknown you need to prove is whether the floppy disks you're creating will actually...
It looks like you may have to take the logic board out to get to that fan, but I'll send* you the information I mentioned in my pm and that will help you locate it.
I'm not sure I'd bother trying to fix the fan, I'd be looking out on eBay for a replacement to simply drop/plug in. Annoyingly a...
It's interesting that it hangs when booting from floppy as well.
It could well be a corrupted or damaged hard disk driver as that is one of the first things the system will load. If the driver is corrupted it would probably produce the kind of system hangs you're getting.
I'd try booting the...
