by JJ by hyperjoe This site has the service and owner's manuals of many Macs. Manuals Ed note: This is a good site too. by mkcompu "[To improve my Airport reception] I was next instructed to eject the battery and look at the right side wall of the battery compartment where I was supposed to find an approximately 5 cm long plastic strip. (My particular powerbook doesn't have this visible -- instead, there is a plate with the serial number, etc...) Still, he told me to firmly press the side wall of the powerbook against the frame, just slowly and firmly pressing along its length several times for about 10 seconds. Next, he told me to replace the battery and start her back up. I can't believe it, but my Airport's range is now like my iBook's!! I never could have done this from out here by the pool before, but here I am. The reason for this as he explained it is, where I was told to press is where the antenna runs alongside the framework of the Powerbook. Sometimes it isn't situated just right, or gets out of whack from having been shipped or something. Pressing it puts it back into proper contact with whatever needs to be touching." If your reception is still unsatisfactory you can purchase a wireless card for your PCMCIA card slot.
by mkcompu Buy some TiPaint and apply according to the directions. In some cases, you may even be able to get the metal on the TiBook replaced by Apple since it was an industrial design problem: the paint used was not designed for titanium. This is only if you are under AppleCare. If you've scratched your aluminum Powerbook, then you need this. by mkcompu
The Warning: This is for educational purposes only!! If you wish to try this on your iBook, ATM, DSLR, me, and the author of the hack are not responsible for any data loss or damage to your computer. Please only try this if your computer meets the requirements (listed below). THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY Requirements- iBook 700-800MHz w/ RADEON Mobility chipset with at least 16 MB of VRAM. DO NOT TRY THIS ON A RAGE-based iBook. What to do: (thank you to macparts.de for posting this. Original hack at: Rutemoeller) This hack works for OS X as well as OS 9. 1st - Disconnect all external Monitors (may not be needed) 2. restart your iBook. Hold down the Command(apple)-Option-O-F keys immediately after the start-up chime to enter Open Firmware. 3. Enter the following text, please note 00000000 are eight zeros not o's. Also note all spaces, they will be shown as *, Do not type them as *'s but as spaces. any space not shown as * should not be typed, and (r) means press the return key. { Press Control-C } means to press the "ctrl" and C buttons. nvedit(r) "*/"*select-dev(r) 00000000*"*graphic-options"*get-my-property*2drop*!(r) { Press Control-C } nvstore(r) setenv*use-nvramrc?*true(r) reset-all(r) The last command will restart your iBook 4. When the iBook has started up, plug in a external monitor (I usually put the iBook to sleep before doing this, you can probably just plug one in on the fly) 5. The screens should mirror. Go to Displays in System Prefs. Then to the "Arrange" tab. Then deselect "mirror displays". (If using OS 9, open the monitors control panel and do the same thing as in OS X) 6. Congrats, you now have a monitor spanning iBook! If it doesn't work the first time, try again. Some people had to do it a few times to get it to work. UPDATE
If you have any questions, you are welcome to IM me on DSLR or on AIM. DSLR- ThinkDiff AIM- ThinkDiff84

Code written specifically for these vector processing units can speed up certain operations (e.g. manipulation of multimedia data) by a tremendous degree. Those who want a full explanation of how it operates should have a look at this article. Update: the cat found this interesting article in IBM's technical library. And here is part two.
by JJ • •Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water, then dry them. •Put the PowerBook or iBook into sleep, then wake it up. •Hold your finger in one corner of the pad, and tap your other finger in the opposite corner. •Clean the trackpad with a little bit of soap and water, drying thoroughly. •Do a PRAM reset. (Hold down Command-Option-P-R while restarting, do it until you've heard the chimes 3 times.) •Try resetting the PMU. Here are a couple of links to some Apple Knowledge Base articles about jumpy trackpads: • •PowerBook: Jumpy or Erratic Trackpad Operation •PowerBook and iBook: Trackpad Does Not Respond Thanks to Mauricio9
by Bradley These documents are mainly of interest to hardware developers, but can also be interesting to read if you are a technical-minded, curious individual.
by prwood Now there is another site for Powerbooks: PBFixIt.com And jupiter10 Note: Only attempt to use these instructions if you are very comfortable with the risk of voiding your warranty or causing permanent damage to your system!
by prwood For a more thorough write up of the features of the PPC 970 processor go to parts one and two of the Ars Technica in-depth evaluations. These links are for those wishing to go into more detail.
