How to install powerbook g4 12 inch screen

Im wanting to buy a screen for my son for Christmas and install it for him....Im a mom with resonably decent tool skills. Can anyone tell me what part to buy and how to install it? Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays!!

Hi mkimse2000,
Welcome to the forum.
Taking apart a 12" PowerBook isn't really for the faint hearted, especially if it's a task you have not undertaken before. To give you an idea of what's involved and the steps needed look here:
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/53.0.0.html
As you go through the guide, you will notice that virtually everything must be removed before you even get to the stage of actually removing and replacing the display.
It's your call but my advice would be, in this instance, to take it in to an Apple Authorised Service Provider to carry out the work. I don't know what the cost of the display will be but most will be - the link I provided above also sell components. In their Display section they have a 12" PowerBook display available for $249.95:

How to make a presentation screenfilling with powerbook Pro 17 inch screen

I made a presentation with photographs. Now I want it to play filling up the screen. My pics are the original 2x3 format (six by four on 300 dpi), it does fill up in height, but not in width.
I have two black borders on the side of my slides. How can I avoid that?
Will it play frame filling on a second display?
Is it because my laptop has a 17 inch screen set on 1650 display resolution?
I tried to change the resolution in keynotes itself, but it pushes the pics down so they appear wider and out of proportion if I go to stretched...
Extremely annoying. Can anyone help me out????
The slides are all on a blank black background, no masks...

Catherine, the "odd" ratio of 16:10 is used by Apple because it closely matches the 16:9 ratio of high-definition video.
Resolution is really not the issue here, it is simply that photos with the aspect ratio you have won't fit fully in the "frame" of the monitor, just as if you were trying to fit them in a physical frame without a matte. If you think of the extra black space as essentially the matte of the frame, that might help to clarify the issue.
I would, however, recommend that you consider downsizing the resolution of your photos, as 4200 pixels is way bigger than any display can show without automatically downsizing, and doing the reduction yourself will a) give you better control over the final appearance, and b) should really help with the performance of the presentation (since Keynote does not have to do the reduction itself on-the-fly). The photos should be reduced such that their height in pixels is no more than the height of your slides. You can find your slide height by looking at the Document Inspector.
You don't say if the presentation will be viewed on your computer, or projected. If it is to be viewed on your laptop, then I would recommend setting your slides to be the actual size in pixels of your laptop screen. Once you've done this, scale your photos in Photoshop or a similar application to be no larger than the dimensions of the slide. In this way, you will best preserve the quality of the images.
If the presentation will be projected, your options are more limited, since the quality of the final display is largely a matter of the resolution (and quality) of the projector. Generally, projectors have a resolution of either 1024 X 768, or even 800 X 600, and so are likely to be much lower resolution than your laptop screen. In this case, the ideal solution is to determine the "native" resolution of the projector you will use, and set your slide size to that (changing your photos accordingly).

How to How to install ATI Radeon HD2600 driver on bootcamp 3.0 windows 7 partition w/black screen problem

Ok....so i've posted this question in a different way, and i gotten several "scratch the surface" answers from people just saying to install "Ati catalyst", or insert the os x dvd and run set up.exe, and update to boot camp 3.1 or 3.2...while these all seem like great suggestions, I am finding myself needing more specific direction or "hand holding" so to speak.....here is the MAIN problem...
The Background/history
I used boot camp (3.0, and i found updates for 3.1 for imac and for windows, but can't find for mac pro, AND they all are ".exe" files which run on windows..which as you'll see is the big part of my problem...So I recently updated my mac pro (with the ATI Radeon HD2600 graphic PCIe card with 10.6.7 from 10.5.8. I created a single partitioned drive to install windows 7 professional 64 bit. The download software function didn't work (Thanks, APPLE for that poor level of support) so have to select the option that i have already downloaded, or have other media with the drivers already on it....i restarted with the windows 7 disk in....
The installation of Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
So the installation of windows 7 seemed to go flawlessly, was able to use my existing 23" hd apple cinema display (so somehow it has drivers that work with the graphics card, or maybe the motherboard's on board video components) and i select english, and install now, custom, blah, blah, blah...installation causes a few reboots, then restarts ultimately back in os x since that is the default boot os i use on this desk top and have to do the "opt" button to select booting in windows....so when i try restarting in windows, now using the actual boot drive on which i am installing it, it ran through another reboot or two, but then after that, my display goes black.... in the communities, the solution sounds super simple... "go download the ATI catalyst for the black screen problem....windows 7 doesn't have device drivers that work with the ATI radeon hd2600...no problem, just go download and install...."
The problem, re-emphasized : I cannot even finish the install for windows, because of this driver problem....i cannot see anything....I have tried to reboot in safe mode, and that then seems to invoke whatever basic drivers that do work, likely through the motherboards onboard video vs the actual graphic card, and the screen works and says that it's wanting to complete the installation, so i'm thinking awesome this is gonna work....and then.. "windows installation was not completed and cannot be completed in SAFE MODE, need to restart, blah, blah, blah" pops up...and forces reboot...so Safe Mode allows me to see, but won't allow me to finish the install of windows 7...and without completing the install i can't run (ranther I DONT KNOW HOW TO) any of the various .exe files everyone is telling me are the solutions to my problem...like update 3.1 and 3.2 bootcamp...they're all .exe files? not sure why, because bootcamp runs in 10.6.7 i thought, but whatever...it needs running Windows to execute...then the ATI radeon hd2600 driver for windows 7 that i downloaded from the site has an installation program that is an .exe file, which needs windows to run... Does this make sense, why i can't just use these fixes, that seem to be the only fixes out there....so can someone school me step by step here (not just the highlights) of how to update bootcamp, and how to install the ati radeon driver without having been able to complete the windows 7 installation because the monitor goes and stays black????
This is so very frustrating for the record...and any substantial help "not just go download this..." would be immensely appreciated.
Some other things i've been told to try that i've tried and nothing seems to happen as i'm told it will....
---I've been told to install the osx dvd and run "setup.exe" - AGAIN...it's an exe file...and 2 - when i put in the os x file it just wants to re install 10.6...so need more help if this is even a real solution to understand how to make it work...
---I've been told to update boot camp to 3.1 and/or 3.2 from 3.0, using Apple Software Update....Well, my software update is saying everything is up to date and there is nothing new to download at all, and when i reverify the bootcamp version it is still only 3.0.2...and again downloading the updates from www.apple.com/support/ for 3.1 and 3.2...all of those are .exe files...need windows to run them...again, refer to the problem described in detail above...
---I've been referred to the black screen on imac early 2011 thread saying it should fix my problem...and reading it it SEEMED like the most promising resolution...it involves creating a boot flash drive for windows 7 and an xml file that sets the imac drivers to auto install during the windows installation..and it got me farther than anything else..but still ultimately ended up in the darned black screen...my assumption is that it's because it's for imac and not mac pro so not ati-radeon specific drivers....ok....that's enough..please...anyone who thinks they can help...your help is desperately needed...thanks so much in advance!

hey Hatter, thanks so much for getting back...so just to be super clear...is there no way to install the drivers using an exe file given my current state? no way to do it with command prompt or something? if can make work with existing card, i'd prefer it...now when you say it's 'toast' how do you mean? it works well with the os x partitions and always has...so i'm not sure i follow, just want to be clear...
Now to your point of starting with only the one drive installed...so i would put that bootcamp drive in bay 1 and disconnect the rest...i'm not totally sure what you're suggesting the effect should be of doing this? just that i'm just installing windows without the bootcamp deal...but if windows 7 doesn't support the ati radeon hd2600, it still will go black screen no? or you're saying it will run video through the motherboard if it's the only bootdrive, and will run all the way through the windows install without trying to switch over to the hd2600? (slrry flr these questions..just really want to make sure i understand what you're telling me..thanks so much for your patience and help by the way...it's very greatly appreciated...your support is priceless!
So now, assuming none of the above is possible...referring now to the ati 5770 that you referred to...you mention it works with 10.6 well, and that windows 7 supports it ...2 questions on that
1) Windows 7 supports" meaning, out of the box windows 7 supports it? or will i have to install drivers still through some update, because again, if that's how i have to do it, then won't work, cuz can't start windows to see anything to install any drivers or run any thing at all...so it would have to just work with initial installation.
2)hardware wise for my Mac Pro 3,1...intel dual quad core xeon, blah blah....will this card work? it's a PCIe and should fit on my board no prob, etc?

How to install windows 7 on Old Macbook Pro 15'inch 2.3 Core 2 Duo

How to install windows 7 on Old Macbook Pro 15'inch 2.3 Core 2 Duo:
I want to known how to install windows 7 on Old Macbook 15'inch 2.3 Core 2 Duo by using usb
I try many time, but after restart bootcamp partition, apple show blinking folder error
I think this firmware not support to install windows by usb
NOTE:
I Cannot install Apple New OSX Mountain Lion, Mavericks etc in this MAC
If I cannot install windows 7 on this MAC, so tell me what I will do with this MAC ?

I agree with the optical drive, mine acted strange, and i thought people were crazy and my drive was shot, but a simple cleaning disc worked miracles.
But- are you trying to reboot with both the USB install and the DVD install both plugged in? that would definitely cause confusion.
Do this, reboot with NOTHING plugged in. Once you hear the Mac chime, immediately press and hold option.
You should only see the Mac HD, and Recovery Partition.
THEN plug in your external DVD, and wait a min or two, you should see a disc icon appear next to the recovery partition that says something like windows. If that doesnt appear after a min or two, unplug it and put the USB stick and do the same thing. I had to do it this way on my mid 09 MBP.
Let me know if this works to start the install. If not we may have to start over with Bootcamp Assistant

Need help- have no idea how to install original airport on G3 Powerbook

I just bought an ornignal airport card on ebay. I have no idea how to install it (i think it goes under the keyboard, but specifically where?) also, it didn't come with any software...do I need some kind of driver? I am so confused. All I know is that I spent over $100 for this thing and would love it if I could get it to work. Really want to go wireless...can anyone please help. (already checked all over the support page and called apple and asked them to point me in the right direction, but have gotten no where. thanks in advance.

Thea,
I get the impression you cannot return the AirPort card...this would be my first choice. Since the card is not recognized, either the card is bad or your powerbook has a hardware issue (doubtful).
Do you have an Apple Store nearby?
You might also contact your local User Group...there should be good help available:
http://www.apple.com/usergroups/
Your alternatives are these:
- find another original AirPort card (limited to the slower 11Mbps speed) to try;
- remove the internal AirPort card and buy a one of these wireless PC cards that run at the faster 54Mbps speed and are simply inserted in the PCMCIA card slot on the side of the 'book:

http://www.asante.com/products/productsLvl3/AL5403_XG.asp
http://www.buffalotech.com/wireless/products/airstation/WLICBG54A.html
The above cards have the Broadcom chipset that Apple's AirPort software supports. If you have already installed AirPort 3.1.1, you are ready to go.

PowerBook G4 (17-inch 1.67 GHz), 1.5GH and cannot install OS X 10.5.6

Can someone assist me please? I have an old PowerBook G4 (17-inch 1.67 GHz, PowerPC) running with OS X 10.3.9 and I would like to update this to 10.5.6 from an original disk that was with a new macbook pro i purchased this spring. Yet, the old mac tells me I cannot update. I thought i meet all general requirements with the old machine. What am I missing?

All you have to do is buy the Upgrade disc package, and install as an update.
Make sure you clone your drive contents before upgrading. Use an external blank firewire drive and perform through disk utility. Make sure you boot your clone using firewire boot function to verify the clone is working. Sometimes it does not work. After that, simply upgrade your os using the retail upgrade disk. I have performed this taks with a g4 1.5ghz powerbook 12 inch. It runs very well on os 10.5.8.

Black screen on GDM, how to install xorg-base from grub?

I followed these installation guides to install archlinux in a virtualbox before testing it out on a real machine:
* http://wideaperture.net/blog/?p=3851
* https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vi … al_Machine
* http://lifehacker.com/5680453/build-a-k … he-process
* http://www.muktware.com/2013/11/how-to- … ed/16825/6
* http://cbopt.com/how-to-install-arch-li … ng-system/
* https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide
It was really all smooth sailing until I finished installing gnome and gnome-extra. These seemed to go well, but then I ran into a problem a lot like this guy's:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=119657
Namely, I now get past GRUB and am greated with a black screen that I seem to have no control over. I can't boot, can't type, can't add my user to a video group, nothing.
So, I have two questions:
* What seems to be wrong? From that thread, I think I need to install xorg-base, possibly? Could it be that I installed the wrong video drivers for a virtual machine? (I assume it's the virtual machine I need drivers for, not my actual video card, right?)
* In a situation like this, how should I properly use GRUB to boot into CLI where I can diagnose, fix stuff, and do things like install xorg-base? I can't find any way to boot to command line.
**Update**
Here's a little more research I've done.
1. I booted up using my installation disk to try accessing my files, maybe I can set something to not use GDM, as per here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/76543/ho … -selection
2. But I didn't know how to access underlying files when on boot disk, so I did this:
$ fdisk -l # told me sda2 was my Linux Filesystem
$ sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
3. From the beginner's guide section on GUI troubleshooting here, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners_Guide, I tried this (prepending my mount point):
$ grep EE /mnt/var/log/Xorg.0.log
4. Well, I can't copy the output because of no GUI, but there were 3 errors:
(EE) Failed to load module "modesetting" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module does not exist, 0)
Are any of these relevant to why I boot into a black screen rather than something that looks like GNOME?
**Update 2**
Something similar for:
grep EE /mnt/var/log/gdm/:0.log.4
(EE) Failed to load module "modesetting" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
** Update 3 **
Discovered I could TTY to another terminal. In virtualbox this is Host + F2.
Re-enabled gdm, restarted xstart, ran gnome, no luck.
$ sudo pacman -S xorg
told me I was out of disk space, uh oh! Of course, I made it only 4 GB since this is a virtualbox demo.
OK, let's resize my sda2 disk. Restart with the live CD.
and now...?

Hello Michael.
Hopefully this support article is what you need:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+will+not+start
In any case, it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.
Also, if you want to use an older version of Firefox, please use Firefox 3.5.11. Only versions 3.5.11 and 3.6.8 are supported, and both contain all the latest security fixes. Using any other version is unsafe and not recommended.

I concur with Osmar. That sounds like a valid guess to me.
If you want to know the exact price you will have to take it to the local Apple Store and let them examine it. Then they will tell you your options and the cost for them.
There always it the question of did running with the damaged screen for months cause additional problems which can only be determined by Apple after they examine it. If there is that could add to the cost significantly.
