To access a friend's hard drive on an old G4 Powerbook I had to take it apart. Dead battery, broken power plugs meant this was the only way. When I finally had only the screws that held in the hard drive to remove, I was frustrated to find that one of them would not budge in the least bit. since the computer was dead anyways, I resorted to sawing off the bracket that held the drive in place. Yes, I took a hacksaw blade to a Mac. It hurt me as much is it did the computer to do so.
It's slowly getting worse, it's happening to hundreds of PowerBooks manufactured at the same time, and Apple won't acknowledge it.. Since I took the photo, more lines have appeared.

My old Powerbook was great. She has a new owner now, and was been replaced with a MacBook Pro in July '07.

PC Notebooks at Walmart today still don't have a Firewire 400 & 800, and DVI ports!
I realized that if a PowerBook G4 got the ports then it can handle the data throughput. I got Western Digital 2TB My Book Studio II the Firewire 800 port is good way better than the internal hard drive of the PowerBook G4 because the My Book are two 1TB in Raid-0 with 32MB Cache each. Downloading from iTunes through Gigabit Ethernet port to Firewire 800 is the fastest only way it be faster if I had a SSD.

I got three PowerBook 100. I got the first one at the middle. It has a bad screen and no daughter board inside (or I swap it?) but the case isnt bad. Then I got the second one at the left. It has a better screen but there's a dead line on the screen. Later I got my third PowerBook 100 on the right. It wasn't functional when I get it until last night when I plug a SCSI Dock Connector to it... it was the first time for it to light up and shows a SCSI icon on the screen moving along. So I decided to grab good parts for it. What a pity all the HDs are dead.
Powerbook G4 with the smashed screen replaced, but the replacement screen has a line across it DOH !
Notice at the right my 12'' PowerBook, standing up. Working in Closed-Lid Mode at my 17'' LCD TFT Sony Monitor. The PowerBook stand is custom made, taken from an external FireWire 3.5'' Hard Disk!
I've become so dissatisfied with current laptop offerings, configs and prices I finally decided to do something about it.
The shell is a Powerbook G3, powered temporarily by a raspberry pi, and the screen is a 1400 x 1050 LCD removed from an old Dell.
The parts in this come from several Dell laptops, Mac Mini, G5 Powermac, and more. This project has the highest reuse of parts, with the only items purchased new being the LCD board, raspberry pi, and the hdmi - vga adapter.

We were spring cleaning our lab and I chanced upon this sweet box! It was from a time when the Apple logo had colors. By the way, anyone know why the Apple logo has a byte taken out of it? ^^. I was pretty excited when I found this. Does it even still work?
