narcolepsy problem on PowerBook?
Hai there,
I bought a Powerbook G4 15 1,67 with no sound, no lcd, fans are not working, it shuts down (or goes to sleep and does not wake up) after 5-10 minutes: so heat prob. i quess, or DC-IN/Sound board prob of course. I'll let you know how things work out.
Any suggestions?
Update: in the mean time i discovered (by googling: narcolepsy) that by removing the left ambient light sensor the powerbook works about 50 minutes, and then shuts down, without any warning.
Tried to get the fans running but no luck. Still nou sound, but headphones are working
also: when i attach the single layer DVD unit the PB won't start up, and therefore my question is: should it be a DL DVD drive at all means?

Thanx mayer and machead3 for your help,
but: the SL DVD drive was an internal one, so nothinhg to worry about the USB ports (should have mentioned that, sorry).
the problem still is there: (longest time i got the PV up and running is now about 1 hour and 50 minutes with no programs running - except Itunes, via head-phone) especially when i try to playback an avi file (from my Windows PC via airport)after a few minutes the powerbook shuts down (or goes into deep sleep.
CPU top temp is rising quickly then, about 130F then, fans are not running (according to IStat pro).
It's a challenge to get the PB stable.
I'll keep trying.. is there a program to force the fans running?
thanx in advance
