Oct 15, 2011 2:58 AM in response to REYNEby Bmlee,One last question for you guys. Do you think inadequate ram could keep the PowerBook g4 from booting off of the battery? The computer sees the battery and has fully charged it.
Thank You Lee

Oct 16, 2011 12:37 PM in response to REYNEby Bmlee,Hello there I was able to pick up a 128 mb ram chip and a 512 mb ram chip. My PowerBook g4 12" 867 MHz aluminum does not see either chip. It shows bus speed 133 MHz ram 128 mb on board ram slot dimm1/j31 it shows it's empty all the way across for size, type, speed, and status shows nothing. Computer makes no sound at startup indicating bad ram. Normal start up tones. When fully booted it sounds like somebody is pressing and holding a key keys making it beep. And the trackpad does not scroll right. I've matched the ram to my PowerBook and I am
Now lost.
Thank You Lee

Oct 29, 2011 1:08 PM in response to REYNEby cpulesto,Hi all,
I have a PowerBook G4 1.25 GHz (fw800) and am experiencing what appear to be kernel panic symptoms when I try to upgrade to 10.5. I think I may have bad RAM or too little (256 MB). Can someone send me AHT 2.0.2 or 2.0.6 so I can make sure the hardware is sound before upgrading RAM?
Thanks,
Cedric

Actually, 1 GB should be considered bare minimum.

Oct 31, 2011 12:04 PM in response to REYNEby cpulesto,Thanks for the links, BDAqua, but I couldn't make a startup disk out of the insaller Disc 1. I tried via Disk Utility, and althoug the CD looked good, my 1.25 GHz 15" PowerBook FW800 couldn't boot from it. Is that because it's looking for a desktop?
Yes, Japamac, the RAM is pitiful. I have a newer MacBook Pro and the PowerBook has been sitting for about 3 years. At first I thought that one of the RAM chips was bad when I loked at System Profiler and only saw 256MB. But I opened it up and to my surprise there was only one chip. Like the urban legend where you wake up after a night on the town with only one kidney. I did a fair chunk of my PhD on that computer, running Matlab simulations and other heavy math. Not sure how I did it with one sad little 256MB chip. I have two 512MB chips on order for it.
I want AHT 2.0.2 to check if the hard drive and other hardware are good before putting anything more into it. The terrible lag and constant work of the hard drive could well be the RAM shortage, but I'd like to make sure. Any idea how I can get AHT on a startup disk from the material you linked?
Thanks,
Cedric
