Re: What did I just fry?

[Jonathan Metts]

I don't mean to be rude (and do not want to start a flame war), as you 
did point him to the other list (the list he should have been on), but 
I do want to point out one thing.  Paragraph 2, line 1 of the original 
posters email.  I have seen you be a little rude dealing with other 
emails ("wireless card - cardbus rant"), and simply wanted to point out 
that everyone makes mistakes (not realizing that cardbus does not fit 
in noncardbus slots, posting to the wrong list, not reading the post 
properly, etc).

I'm sorry if this came across offensive or rude, but I didn't like the 
way you handled the cardbus issue.  We need to try and leave the 
sarcasm out if we intend on helping with problems.

Hello! I think that I just fried something in my
powerbook...
I have recently done some minor upgrades to my
Lombard. I put in more RAM, swapped in a larger HD and
upgraded the OS to Panther. I had thought in the last
few days that I MIGHT have heard something rattling in
there, but I whenever I'd recheck, I didn't hear it.
So...I assumed that it was okay.

Well the first step would be telling us what kind of PowerBook this is.

There are 13 years worth of PowerBooks that all have different features 
and problems.

Because you said you upgraded to Panther, you probably have a PowerBook 
G3 or G4, so you should probably first figure out which it is exactly 
(G3s:  Kanga, Wallstreet 12", Wallstreet 13", Wallstreet 14", Lombard, 
or Pismo, G4s: Titanium, or Aluminum 12", Aluminum 15", Aluminum 17"), 
and then ask the G-Books email list that deals strictly with those 
Books.

www.everymac.com is a good place to figure out what you have, if you 
don't already know

This list deals with pre-G3 machines (PowerBooks that had numbers 
rather than names) so you probably wouldn't get too much use of this 
list.
