iBook G3 running is not on but shows signs of life...

Hello

I have experience with Mac repair, but not much with the old Mac PowerPC. I got a G3 iBook for almost nothing in a sale at auction, and when I plug it into a charger, the thin battery charges. I now loaded it so that all the lights on the battery are strong.

When I press the power button, MAJ CAPSLOCK, NumLock and the little light on the flash front for like 1/4 of a second, and then they go off. The machine does two very light clicks. The fan on the computer then starts spinning, and the hard drive (I have replaced). It stays on for a few seconds and then shuts.

On the laptop LCD screen is cracked, so I'm assuming that if she turned on, I wouldn't see much until I replaced it, but there is no edge, no second light (except as ¼) and no POST. I have to check/replace the RAM as well as several other components.

I know this laptop isn't much value, but I would like it to work. If it is the logic board, that are not too expensive either.

It is a model A1005 of 2002. I think it is 12 ".

Thanks for any help!

There was a problem with the connections of a graphics chip welding in some iBook G3 computers. An iBook would then not properly the start-up procedure, and the screen remains dark (sometimes the question could be diagnosed by a change at the clamping/pressing an external area to the left of the trackpad during the boot sequence). However, it may or may not be of interest in this case (with a damaged LCD screen).

  • 5 Lightroom does not start but shows that run in the Task Manager?

    Hello

    I use Lightroom 5.7 (64-bit) on a Win7 machine and it worked perfectly until a few days ago. Now for reasons unknown to me, it will now not start correctly. According to the Task Manager, run, but nothing appears on the screen. It shows as a running process with about 15 020 k. If I try and interrupt the process he won't stop until I've tried 4 or 5 times.

    I tried to rename the file to preview force it to build a new file and optimize the database and he ran once, said he was checking the catalog and then came back to the same behavior.

    If I can get it started I can return to a backup of database.

    Help appreciated.

    Thanks for the comments.

    It turns out that Lightroom is not guilty.  The hard drive containing the catalog was not, and although tests seem to show like OK it was made only reading / writing at a fraction of the correct speed. If Lightroom was very time consuming to read it's own catalog.  It tooks 48 hours to exemplary concert 1 of data off the drive.

  • Firefox will not hold, but shows in the Task Manager, after updating graphics drivers from AMD 13.1.

    Hello

    After update for drivers AMD 13.1 on my 5770, Firefox will not launch; It doesn't, however, appears in the Task Manager. I want to emphasize that it will boot into Windows safe mode; When I opened it in safe mode, I used this time to deactivate all plugins, modules, extensions and created a new profile. This did not help. I also tried launching Firefox in its safe mode and had no luck with that either.

    I encountered this problem once before, when trying to upgrade to an earlier version. I think I was moving from 12.1 to 12.4, but I'm not 100% sure of that. In the end, my solution was then to retrograde back to my previous driver. The steps mentioned in the previous paragraph has not helped at that time, not do a complete reinstall.

    experience of 15 years, and that computer repair baffled me.

    Thanks to all those who might be able to help.

    Hello

    On this path, it is not easy to say what can be the problem and just inquiry may help, but from your description, I'm afraid that there are some critical material damage. It may be something wrong with the power supply (motherboard) or perhaps is the grilled CPU if you have done something wrong with the thermal paste.

    Sorry, but I think you should contact the partner customer Service in your country and check it properly.

    Thank you. It is a financial institution. I can contact them to check on the plans in support of version 8. In the meantime, I use IE on this site. Of course liked the look and feel of FF better V3.

  • iPhone 6 no charge, turn on, show signs of life, etc.

    Hello.

    I got this iPhone 6 for a month or two. It worked completely fine without any problem other than the occasional freeze. Then, today, the screen flickered and restarted. He went on the Apple logo. I have waited, but in vain. It wouldn't resume. I gave my phone to my cousin, who said this had happened to his iPod touch before and knew how to fix it. I'm not sure of what she was doing (hard starting, perhaps?) but it worked and I was able to use my phone again. After only five minutes, he did exactly the same thing. My cousin has worked his magic again. This time, I decided to stop the phone then just leave. It's a little hot here, but we look I thought that the phone could be too hot. So I plugged it in, turn it off, and made my own thing for about twenty minutes. I'm back and turned on my phone. As always, he went to the Apple logo. I waited and it does not restart, it just stayed on the Apple logo. I gave him a Hard Boot and tried to put it on the Recovery Mode, but that has not worked, it just went to a black screen.

    I tried to charge my phone, Hard Boot it once again, but this does not work. I think maybe it's time for a new battery, but keep in mind that there is a new iPhone 6. If it's any help, my old iPhone 6 was a little less than a year when I replaced it an unfortunate accident during a pool party.

    I am looking for a cost-effective solution. Help, please!

    I'll assume you bought a used phone. If you bought a new phone, you can take it to Apple and they will repair or replace under warranty. If it is used very probably it was broken before you guessed it. You can check the status of the warranty here: Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support coverage

  • Windows 7: Explorer.exe does not start but if manually run it restarts my laptop.

    My laptop HP Probook 4530 s boots until the Welcome screen, it does not continue to show the desktop instead, it shows only a black screen.

    As I entered in the Task Manager, I tried to check the process and discovered that "explorer.exe" is not running. I created a new task, browse the explorer.exe and run. It shows the office, but after 10 seconds or less, it restarts and goes back to the black screen after the Welcome screen.

    Hi Mark,

    Check if the Userinit registry value is correct. To read, use the command:

    Press Windows key + R, and type:

    cmd /k reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v "Userinit".

    Copy what is displayed in the output and after here.

    Similarly for the value "Shell:"

    cmd /k reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v "Shell."

    I have a MBP of 2009 end. I updated the material to 8 GB of ram with an SSD of 240gig. I want to run the new OSX, but is not on the list approved for the update. Anyone know why?

    It is a decision that was made by Apple.  El Capitan is the newest OSX that will support a 2009 MBP.

    This is not uncommon.  My 2006 MBP came with Tiger, but is limited to OSX Snow Leopard.

    Old hardware ends up by becoming obsolete with newer technology.

    Simply because Apple makes the promotion of iBooks does not necessarily that they are available in all locations.
