Whatever dude. You should see the post that I didn't send you. I'm not the only one that has suggested that you get the right adaptor. I might have been the only post that you read, but I'm not the only one that posted about it. I've been hella nice about reposting that same info, but you don't seem to get it. You even went so far as to repost what I said and then say you've done everything when it is clear that you didn't. So I got a little more in your face about it because it looked like you were ignoring the posts where people were telling you what the problem was. I think you did this because you are afraid of the soldering iron. Chin up soldering is easy. Just takes practice.
What's funny is that you still think it's software. It's not software it's hardware and no matter how many times you reinstall your warez, reset your p-ram, or yank the battery out it's still going to be hardware. I've sent you the links that show you what to do. You can get a decent soldering iron at Radio Shack (get the 3 prong grounded blue one) for about $6. Spend about 20 minutes (or less if you are good at soldering) and you'll have yourself a working machine. If you don't know how to solder I think Radio Shack has a little book on how to do it. It's easy and you'll get the hang of it. It just takes a bit of doing it. You'll also need a pair of dikes and the Shack will have this too. Pick up some solder with rosin core. If you want to be really fancy get some heat shrink tubing. Use a match, lighter, or hair dryer to shrink it. The one other tool that makes this stuff really easy is a multi-meter. The shack sells them for $20 to $30. They have more expensive ones, but the cheep ones work find and you don't cry when you sit on them. Don't ask me why I know this. :) None of this stuff is hard, despite what people will tell you! You just have to be open minded and willing to learn. The tools are all out there for you to learn "how to." Google is your friend. : ) The 1710AV came out at a time when apple finally got things figured out and stopped using sense pins. Same with the 3400. But your machine uses them - and that means that you have a hardware issue to deal with. -Rob, the condescending one- "to accommodate one's self to an inferior" Isn't that what anyone does to help someone that doesn't know what you know? I mean maybe it's not inferior in every way, but in ways that you can exchange knowledge it is. And what is so bad about it? Would you prefer that one not be accommodating? =8<> ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
