Maybe I'll just strip it and turn it into art for my office.

Thanks for posting guys. This laptop was used solely for email believe it or not. It was connected to an ethernet router - that's it. About a year and a half ago it was having problems and Apple...

I've got an old G4 laptop 667Mhz that was working fine until recently. It had a kernal panic and crashed. Now when it boots, it hangs on the gray screen with apple logo and will sit there forever. ...

scratch my last post - already did that

How do you reset the PMU button on the G4 Powerbook?

thanks for the suggestions - I'll look up how hard it is to change the battery. With the laptop I don't know my way around too well on the inside. May end up taking it in for service.

Went to turn on my powerbook last night - dead. No friendly mac chime. It's not used on a daily basis, but I was using it a few days ago and it worked fine. It's the 667Mhz model with 768MB RAM.

Scratch the start up question - somehow the control panel folder got duplicated and ended outside of the system folder for OS 9.2 - found the right control panel to make it work.

Greg,

Here's something weird - I didn't create a separate partition for OS X as I've done in the past. How do I reboot into OS X? It's not showing up in my start up disk - just the name of the...

Ok - looks like the original apple ram was the culprit. I'm now up to OS X 10.2.6 and all is running smoothly - even left it on all night without problems.

Now what do you think about putting in...

Which ram should I get? Right now, I've got a 256mb Crucial module in - it's a PC 100. In an earlier message, Greg thought the PC 133 would do the trick.Isn't it best to keep with the same that's...

It Worked! I took the original ram module out and OS X installed. Right now I'm updating the files via the web. Next we'll see how Jaguar behaves.

Thanks again for all the suggestions. I'll...

Greg,

Thanks for the feedback - I'm currently trying to install again after taking out the original Apple RAM - I've got a single Crucial 256mb in there now - so far so good.

I did intialize...

Rick,

Is there something in the information of the panic that could give me a clue? For example: "...previously dumped as "Latest" state. skipping..." or "memory access exception"

any ideas?

Hey Rick

Unfortunately it didn't. I'm going crazy here. I've pulled all extra ram, the original processor, video card are all in - I've even tried the card in a different PCI slot. I thought I had...

Can't get OS X 10.1 to install on my B&W (now upgraded to a G4 550 using the Powerlogix Zif)- just put in the Sonnet ATA133 card to run the 20GB hard drive due to constant corruption problems when...
