What would nice to determine is why it happens to some before some others… Mines have none of these problems so far . I live in a not so dry area , humidity is quite high along the curves of the Seine around here. + I have some spare parts stored in a closed place in the yard, no heat there...

There is a Duo 280 on sale on the bay , seller from Italy. It has the same film screen problem... Seems these films are reaching their ends nowadays... :/

You could try to leave it plugged to the power block for a night . It "saved" one with the same trouble for me once. I also had one making horrible noise at boot and failing, even changing the fews caps wouldn't fix it. Until I did a good wash of the main board (warm water and soap, leave to...

I've started a 3400c with the screen lid disassembled once, can't remember if I had a chime though, some time ago and was testing a very troublesome machine. But anyway , it's easy to disconnect the screen ribbon cable under that speaker panel, then reconnect the speaker panel, and test.

It's normal for PBG3 WallStreet/MainStreet to do so when PRAM battery is old or just dead. Try reset PRAM, leave it plugged on power block for a while , or change the PRAM battery (not so easy on the WallStreet...).

I suppose these crack in the transparent plastic are around the Apple logo at the bottom of the screen. Don't think there anything to do to make it less visible apart from replacing the plastic part. But iBook g3 first gen without these cracks are rare anyway.

Apple Djinn :) You lucky... ;p

WD-40 works great on plastics to give a nice clean "new" look. Spray a bit on a soft cloth , and wipe the all surface. It can lessen rub marks on the iBook rubber plastic.

Mmmh :/  that's the furnitures manufacturer I was talking about in that story. Was 2/3 years ago maybe. Then they had to make tighter controls on how their stuff were made and with what... Worth checking maybe ?

Ough !! that hurts ! Sorry for that. Pulled mines from the closet from fear and for inspection. None have this kind of thing... Indeed if yours all came from the same source, they could all had something sprayed on the screens at some point. Or maybe it's the place there are stored. I remember...

Indeed the Wallstreets/PDQs have a big metal "heat shield", but not the same. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/PowerBook+G3+Wallstreet+Heat+Shield+Replacement/2 It’s really just a metallic plate, not like the thick metal or special plastic real heatsinks of the Pismo. these serve their purpose very...

Check T Minus Ten also , don't know if it work on Syst 7 though only used V.2.2 on 8/9. Maybe earlier versions. http://www.mac.org/utilities/tminusten/

I have these all metallic heatsink on some 400MHz as well. In fact these are the early Pismo heatsink model, the other part black plastic (well, special kind of)  was the later model introduced on the Pismo models revision in sept 2000 when the HD passed from 6GB to 10GB for the 400MHz and 12GB...

i feel like an old shmonk... I do have a 4 with iOS6 as my only mobile, is serves only as a phone (and music player sometime)... Oh and jaibreaked, so i can shh sometime too. Don't feel like changing, I hate phones.

Yes , the fan spin when plugin the power brick, then boot without running the fan is normal on all Wallstreet/Mainstreet . I have one of these : https://68kmla.org/forums/index.php?/topic/25205-galgots-new-stuff/?p=324753 Got it with 8.6 installed, but then restored it to 8.1 later.

Is it a live Lubuntu cd ? Never tried Lubuntu, but i have Debian 8 running on some pismo, so it should run on a ibook 500 me think. And Ubuntu/Lubuntu are derived from Debian... And can have LXDE on Debian. Best linux ppc install tutorial i know is this one ...

:) Sorry Sirs, I got finally them to work some time ago , can see it here :  https://68kmla.org/forums/index.php?/topic/25205-galgots-new-stuff/?p=322961

Ah yes, my bad. there are adonized. But anyway,I have example were the adonization goes away.

I think the problem is that the aluminium is painted with a mat silver paint. What you see on the surface is not the aluminium it's made of. I have a 17" all book with paint chipping off near the Atl and Ctrl keys. Under there it's shiny aluminium. So if you sand it, you'll sand the paint too...

Hi, Have you tried formatting but without updating the driver ? Seems to remember I had that issue too. There also the option for non updating the HD driver in the installer.
