The 15" Powerbooks have two batteries. One is the one you can remove from the bottom of the machine without any screws, the other you need detailed instructions of the computer's interior and special parts to replace. The user accessible battery will only impact Target Disk Mode if you have no A/C power to connect to the wall outlet, and it also is out of juice. The non-user accessible battery if it gets more than 4 years old, can impact Target Disk Mode accessibility even if you are plugged into A/C power from the wall outlet. If your power brick is frayed, it may not be giving power to the computer, or if the power manager is damaged it may not give power to the computer. See my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/frayguide.html
Consider how old your machine is, and likelihood of one problem versus the other. If you are in the U.S., these places may be cheaper to replace the non-user accessible battery than Apple or other authorized service technicians:

If you feel up to the challange, you can order the parts and replace that battery yourself with instructions from http://www.ifixit.com/

Wow, that's amazing. Sometimes I wonder... (but I won't say anything per TOS).
YES, our 12-inch PowerBooks, the little mighty ultra-portable that could, can be used with 23-inch displays, if you are referring to Part No. M9178LL/A.
http://www.apple.com/displays/specs.html
As you said, you just need the Mini-DVI to DVI adapter, which should have come in the box with your PowerBook. (I'm sure you know that the other adapter is Mini-DVI to VGA, and will not fit if you tried). If you don't have one, you can get them at Apple (retail and online) for $19.95, or even at Best Buy.
Note that Best Buy sells Apple's adapter, and their own "Dynex" brand which is a bit cheaper. (That is, if your Best Buy has the Apple Shop inside). Or, if you have a CompUSA near you--yes, I know people, they are closing down--you might be able to get one at a discount.

Keep the temperature down, usually by boosting the lowest default fan speed to help.
Also FBDIMMs on Amazon I have run at 59*C versus the 72*C+ of prior modules so adding less heat into the system.
There are kits you can modify the card's fan and add copper heat sink pipes. You may be fine and not have to buy a new card and continue with the 8800GT.
The X1900 was a huge problem with dust and therefore with heat and making the fans work harder - but never able to cool the interior, so the card had to be removed and dust inside the card's chamber 3-4X per year.
My Mac Pro 1,1 even without the X1900 would warm up the area during winter after 3-4 hours of use - the exhaust on these is very hot. So monitor the temps and fans and I would install SmcFanControl - I have always had it since 2007 to keep the fans default at 800-900 rpm along with Hardware Monitor (or use another) to monitor all the system sensors.

I bought this computer with no disks, upgraded to Lion
Replacement System Discs can be obtained from Apple's Customer Support - US (800) 767-2775 for a nominal fee. You'll need to have the model and serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html
for some reason AHT wasn't installed
AHT is included in system disc #1.

You can use the two graphics cards, but it's only useful if you have more than two displays. It won't give you higher speed.

My 20" 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo had become almost useless due to freezes and crashes- with NO crash reports in the logs.
They were often preceeded by video glitches, so I assumed it was a bad video card- unfortunately soldered to mother board.
Apparently, from forum postings, this is not an uncommon problem. The computer would run longer if the day was cooler, but rarely more than 10 minutes, so I suspected it was aggravated by heat.
Then I found this post from Bodomann on an Apple Support forum:
"Following up on my previous posting regarding my son's late model 2006 iMac that required a $900 logic board replacement:
Turns out the problem is apparently related to a bad CPU temp sensor. I installed 'iMac Fan Control' (Google it) which reported the CPU temp always at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (obviously incorrect). The same software allowed me to adjust the CPU fan manually. After multiple trials I set the CPU speed to 2800RPM after which the system would run forever - never freezing with the dreaded grey box 'reboot me' screen. I tried several times reverting the software to default speeds and the system would always crash within 10 minutes. "
I downloaded free Fan Control 1.2 for Imac from Derman Enterprises (they have an Intel iMac and a Mac Book/Pro version). It installs as a system preferences control panel. I cranked up all three fan speeds. The fans sped up noticeably. Horizontal lines have gone from screen (so far), no color artifacts and no crashes yet. I may have a real computer back! Hope Apple checks this out-
The control panel also gives the temps sensors are reporting at the CPU, hard drive and DVD drive. The CPU sensor reports the CPU temp as 32 degrees F- which is clearly wrong, unless Apple has been installing little refrigerators inside.
So thanks to Bodomann for posting- Hats off and three cheers to Derman and Cristoph for source code.

I don't think so, because this is not about garageband specificaly, it's about the mac using internal speakers and iphone headset microphone at the same time. Input Microphone via Jack and Output speakers on the laptop.

The management is quite easy. You can move your Documents, Movies, Music, and Pictures folders to another drive and then replace them in the original location with aliases.
Select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "alias." This will provide a help file on creating and using aliases.
