    TiBook battery spoof possible?

    My TiBook is running at 667MHz instead of 1GHz because it has no battery installed. I'm capable of building a battery from individual cells but don't have the dead battery anymore, so don't know the pinout and don't have the pcb. An iBook battery pack that I have is 3s2p, the TiBook needs to be...

    Best way to preserve TiBook battery?

    I have a mint G4 TiBook that I cherish. I also have a battery for it with only 8 cycles. As I never really use it, everytime I do boot it up (maybe a few times a year), the battery is completely depleted and the CMOS battery has depleted as well. I'll then charge up both fully, and it goes back...

    Newest acquisition A boxed example of the Titanium PowerBook G4

    I had spotted a previous example for sale on UK ebay a fairly rare 1Ghz last gen model in excellent shape, but missing the distinctive silver headed power lead, hard drive, box and accessories. The seller was actually unsure if it worked or not, but condition did look like new. That ended up...

    Resolved PowerBook G4 Titanium (TiBook) Battery

    Greetings interwebs, I recently acquired a TiBook (1.0 GHz, A1025) and I am pretty excited to get this up and running. I have read a lot about these PBs, but one piece of information I can't seem to find is the battery model number that goes with this specific model. I have seen a range of...

    PowerBook G4 Titanium touchpad not working

    Hello, I've just got a Titanium PowerBook G4 DVI (emc 1913), but the touchpad doesn't seem to work at all, not even the button. Keyboard works fine, the buttons feels ok, and the touchpad is connected well to the logic board. I've reset the PRAM (the PRAM battery is dead btw) and SMC. What could...

    M8858LL/A Titanium Powerbook running Yosemite

    I have a Titanium Power PC 867Mhz that was stolen in 2010. I got it back a year later and it had Yosemite installed. I can't remember what I had on it before but it was a much earlier OS. I have a lot of problems now and from what I am reading on this forum, I am beginning to understand that it...

    Dear Fellow PPC Enthusiasts, I have seen this question posted numerous times on the tubes and in various venues. In my research I've been seeing some conflicting reports and information floating around. I thought I'd come here now that it's 2018 and ask again! I've got a titanium PowerBook G4...

    Can't Access Target Disk mode after installing SSD (TiBook)

    I got myself an mSATA ssd and the Ableconn IDE adapter that people recommend, and I installed it in my TiBook. I made a disk image of the leopard install I had on the old HD, and I was planning to copy it over via target disk mode. The problem is, whenever I hold down 'T' the computer just shuts...

    TiBook G4 fans never turn off!

    Booted up my TiBook 1.0 today after a longer pause of not beeing used and I noticed, that the fans don't ever stop to work. And even worse: "G4FanControl" and "HardwareMonitor" don't display any temperature-sensors at all. Then I found a note on the website of the developer of...
