I recently purchased an iBook G4 12" 1.33ghz. It's the fastest 12 inch ibook out there. I did all the servicing, thermal grease, cleaning, and a new 100gb toshiba hard drive.
However, I notice that when I turn it on, it stays for several seconds on a gray screen before the apple, for me this is unusual, since my other macs don't have this "delay". But I tolerate. The big problem is when I leave it idle and it sleeps, or when I close the lcd and open it again, it will be frozen (but with the mouse pointer working) for 15, 30 seconds! It's like the HD has stopped responding.
No, it's not a problem with my hard drive, it's 100% bug free, and it worked like a charm on another windows computer.
I once observed something similar when I used a slave hd (or cable select, I don't remember) on a PMG4 733, I changed a jumper and the system was much better. But on laptop hard drives, I never needed to use jumpers, and I believe the jumperless setting means master.
I'm using OSX 10.4.11, and I've already checked the connection between the hd and the motherboard 3 times, it's perfect.
