PowerBook G4 Aluminum 15": Black lines on my screen

Fri, 22 May 2015 04:43:58 -0700

I bought this Powerbook with a couple of issues. One was not charging so I swapped out the DC board and solved that. The other was dark lines across the bottom third of the screen. When even light pressure is applied to the edge of the screen the lines disappear.

I thought this was an lcd problem so I swapped in a working one and I still have the same lines. I cannot think what the light pressure at the side on the screen does and the PB works fine with a clothes peg on the side of the screen, but the perfectionist in me would like it to work without the peg.

Any ideas out there?

PowerBook G3 Lombard: Keyboard has no efect on boot-up

Thu, 09 Apr 2015 12:05:43 -0700

I have a PowerBook G3 (400) Lombard with OS9 installed. Now I've been trying to install OSX 10.3 with no avail.

Neither pressing C, T or ALT seem to have any effect, it still boots straight to OS 9. I can hear the DVD drive starting but that's all. It would seem as though the keyboard is first recognised after OS 9 has booted...

I did try changing the start volume to the DVD drive which cause a alternating mac OS face and a question mark for a couple of seconds before it returned to booting OS 9 again.

Also I

Now what I would really like is to install OSX on a USB stick and leave the OS 9 alone...

Any ideas? I would be grateful for any help.

Regards, Steve.
