Powerbooks

Sorry did't realise I had't posted anything on here for over an year.

I've recently had alot of calls regarding powerbooks, mostly ones that
have stopped working and appear to be totally dead.

Also have powerbook in that was acting strangly after a failed 10.5 apple update,
turns out once I tried to reinstall a new 10.5 system the hard drive died.
Mind you it was the original 60gb hard drive, so it had done well to last that long.

Update to site to follow shortly, to see if I can find some more clients!!!!
Advertising again on freeads and gumtree (kent).

It's been a while!

Yep it's been a while since I last posted a blog via the site, but better late then never.
Since the move to Dartford I've had afew jobs one being a ibook G4 that needed a new
DC-in board replacing which was a pretty straightforward job once I located the part for it.

The other job being a upgrade of 10.3 to 10.4 tiger on ibook which was needed to run one
a 3G usb wireless internet device.

Also just thought I'd mention macrevitalise.co.uk is now top on google if you search
for mac repairs dartford or apple mac repairs dartford. So hopefully more people can find me locally to dartford for there mac repairs.

Macs 4 Sale page added to site

I've actually got round to adding the macs 4 sale page to my site http://www.macrevitalise.co.uk/Apple_mac_parts_4sale.html

Revitalised 500mhz G3 iBook

I've not posted for well over a month now, plus I still have't got around to updating my site! There will be at some stage in the next couple of weeks a 2nd hand mac guide via my site and also a section on my site of various apple mac computers and parts I currently have for sale.

I fitted a new combo CD/DVD drive plus also an new internal 80GB hard drive into an old 500mhz iBook G3 machine the other week, it must of been the first iBook I've worked on that has't got any signs of a logic board problem.

I'm gonna try and keep my blog updated as and when I do repairs now.

As for OS X 10.5, I'm slowly getting into it but is taking time to get use too!

Happy New Year and all that!

Hope everyone had a good Xmas & New Year!

I never got around to posting a blog in dec, I've been fairly busy coming up to the xmas period.
All of sudden I've had surge of imac LCD machines come in with problems or upgrades, the usual problem with them seems to be with the LCD screens (lampshade type imac's).

Also did my first strip down of an powerbook 12" to fit a new DC-in-board, I'll know next time if I ever fit another DC-in-board to charge a hell of alot more then I actually did. But all worked out fine in the end and powerbook burst back into life after being in a million pieces.

Had few easy upgrades of G4 towers just before xmas also, plus I've just started using OS X Leopard on a G5 Tower. As of yet am still not sure I like the feel of the new system, but time will see. OS X 10.5 seems bit more tricky with connecting to PC servers for some reason.

Oh one last thing I know someone selling an G5 Imac 20" see spec below:
-1.8ghz powerpc G5,
-dual processor,-20 " monitor
-2gb ram

Contact me if your interested in the imac and can pass on the details of person selling it.

Oh by the way the second hand mac guide will be up on my website soon.
