Q: Keyboard Issues With G4 Powerbook
Can anyone help me please, I am pretty new to MAC and I know nothing about how MACs work thou I am a windows microsoft engineer for 10 years. Question is that I resently got a G4 powerbook last week just to get my head around the MAC OSX and then at a later date upgrade to someone newer. Anyways, when installing the OSX I was unable to use the keyboard to name my volume once I formatted it to MAC.
Now after reading a few online manuals, I was able to take the top off and made sure that the keyboard was attached to the logic board. Now I have been hearing that the Powerbook should come with lighted keyboard...YES/NO
Also if some of the keys work but not all...what could be the issue. I know this is a stupid question being an engineer but could it be the whole board or could it be some keys. The person I got it off said that the keyboard was working...but saying that I only have his word for it.
Please HELP....
