iBook G3 fees, does not illuminate

Greetings from the United Kingdom!

My 600 MHz 2002 G3 iBook (16 VRAM model) snow worked oddly, acting as part of my vintage collection of the Mac, until a few weeks ago.

My iBook does not at all, despite the PRAM and PMU reset according to the normal procedure for these laptops. The charger is verified to work, and the two batteries that I used to test the machine work also correctly. When the PMU or PRAM have been reset, the machine does nothing, but the indicator color changes briefly. The computer loads, as the Green/orange ring on the poster of the charger and the battery also lights. When you press the power button, nothing happening at all - without backlight LCD, no fans, no light no light change charger.

As I say, the machine worked flawlessly until very recently, so I hope that's any serious question. It would break my heart for one of these beautiful machines throw!

Thanks in advance for your help,

Jack

There are some clues on what fixed inside, waiting for you to look inside, with the help

a few guides repair with an accuracy of just image and not to dismantle such a device.

Some circuits can not due to age and heat expansion/contraction due to natural

warming and cooling periods of use and non-use; There are some solder joints in

which can be affected by weather. Some issues were known to exist as a time

Then, because in part, the chemical composition or the weld type has changed.

If there is a cause, investigation may further be required and symptoms

This can be difficult to identify. Unless you can get working again, to have

failure in the same way. A common issue weld had been discovered by Corey Allen (or the name of sim)

and his name was given to this effect. He has devised a way to put shims within the body

the (white) iBook to apply pressure on the CPU and push the tiny microscope

joints broken solder together without re - solder. There are companies that can do

the micro-brasage or re-ball in the event of logical failure affected tiny Council sometimes these

are sporadic due to heating and cooling; other times there is a complete failure and

the Board of Directors may be repaired in a shop well qualified, rather to find a replacement.

{I can't see article how this DIY repair by compression online}

and it does not appear in a search of the above mentioned name.}

Troubleshooting is the main difficulty without technical skills or understanding

of work of the unit and diagram of electrical courses to test.

There may be a copy of the original apple Manual of Service online as PDF is worth a visit

to see if you can download one; Be careful because posers can have loaded malware.

Don't know who to see and respond to your thread (it only takes one, go ahead)

However the unit should not be thrown again. I have some older Macs that are

need a repair microscopic out of my League, sitting nearby. Much older had

better access to the internal parts, such as desktop PowerMac, etc.. Compact design

part of the problem, integrated electronics complex; The difficulty for the end user.

Perhaps some of those who visit and answer here who made the will of troubleshooting

See your thread and suggests methods to test further the unit; because these are

much older, only a few authorized qualified specialist will be of service providers

touch them. And their time cost the same if you have a new model or an antique.

The level of their ability to know what has need of repair & troubleshooting, varies. In

in the United States, a company like wegenermedia.com could restore the device, especially if

a complete laptop them were sent for initial diagnostic tests.

When a computer is also a little like new in appearance, it may be worth fixing.

Anyway, it's late here in my time zone and so I should have slept more...

Good luck & happy computing!

    On this virtual path, it is not possible to provide an accurate diagnosis. All you can do is to unplug the power plug, remove the battery and leave it for a while. Then press the power button and hold it for 15 or 20 seconds.
    After doing this connect the power running and try to start again.

    Hello

    LED flashes orange?
    If you mean the DC-in LED if it flashes orange if the output voltage of the adapter is abnormal or if power outages.
    If you mean the Power LED so it flashes orange while the computer stops if you select sleep mode.
    If you mean battery LED if it flashes orange when the battery reaches a low battery indicator.

    I think you should check if the AC adapter has no malfunction and provide enough power.

    I think you should also try another solution that I found in this forum.
    So to remove the battery and unplug the AC of the laptop and wait form (10-15 min) then several times the battery and connect the AC to the laptop and try to start the laptop.
    Eventually, it helps.

  • Satellite A300D does not illuminate

    Toshiba Satellite A300D does not illuminate

    The battery light is red when it is plugged in with the light of the white plug

    When I press the power button it lights up two other fires, and one that looks like a sheet a4 fact paper.it a vibration when turning it on also.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery.
    Leave the laptop unplugged and then hold down power button / stop along 30 sec.
    Then reconnect the two parts and check how the unit works.

    In which case nothing would be visible on the screen, try replacing the RAM modules. Perhaps one of the modules is the troublemaker
    Otherwise if the RAM modules are OK, the problem could be linked to the motherboard.

  • Satellite M100 does not illuminate unless the AC adapter is pluged

    I am also having the same problem with my Satellite M100. The computer does not illuminate unless the AC adapter is pluged and plugged into the power outlet.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem? The battery should be fine.

    B.

    Hello

    Well, to me it sounds like a battery problem
    Why you say that the battery must be good?
    Have you checked it or because the technician?

    In most cases if the battery is faulty then the laptop would have no power until it would be connected to the power adapter.

    So I think (but that's just my personal opinion) the battery must be enabled (by technician, ASP) and if necessary should be replaced.

    See you soon

    What do you think average is by any fix for the WLan light

    Are sure you that you have enabled the WLan switch on the side of the laptop?
    Only this switch controls the WLan light!

    If the WLAN led does not illuminate after that you have activated the WLan switch there is something wrong with the hardware.

    then if there is something wrong with the hardware of notebooks is needed the help of ASP.
