In August I sent my Lombard to a tech I met here on the G-books list. He apparently spent much time and effort and my 250.00. Unfortunately the problem still exists. It worked fine he says for him...but from the time I got it back it would still lock up or not start...and it has been getting worse. I have kids who must do school work online and its been heartbreaking to loose imputing when time is an issue. The tech added gobs of shareware and do dads...I just want it to work plain and simple.
Last week the daughter took the laptop to another location to work on school work...at the new location it wouldn't start up...She brought it home where it started fine, did a bit of work and then we shut it down for 4 days, while we camped. Today it won't boot past Chime. I am running OS 9.2.2 and it is the 366 MHz model. I have tried the reset button on the back of the pb...force quits, and CD s. Once I actually did get all the way thru the nice new pictures the tech put on it...to the window that says Disk Aid will repair ... when it froze again... and I have opened up the machine and "tucked" things... remembering some of you suggest seating motherboards and daughterboards. I don't have the right tech skills or language to talk specifically but I have been on a mac for 16 years. I very upset with this machine and the tech who has told me that's it too bad...as he thinks I am doing things to the pb. I am not. I work everyday from my G3 beige, same system, same probrams, same way, no problem. Are powerbooks always this unstable? My expenses, buying the pb and the recent repairs far exceed its value now... but I would like to get this problem fixed. I am in the Chicagoland area. can anyone give advise or a reputable repair? Kristina I don't want to upgrade to OS X. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
