LL3092.book Page 34 Friday, February 4, 2005 6:02 PM
Universal Serial Bus (USB)
Your PowerBook comes with two USB 2.0 ports (d), also referred to as Hi-Speed USB, which you can use to connect many types of external devices, including printers, scanners, digital cameras, game pads, joysticks, keyboards, and floppy disk drives. Your USB 2.0 ports are compatible with earlier USB devices. In most cases you can connect and disconnect a USB device while the computer is running. Once you connect the device, it is ready to use. You dont need to restart or reconfigure your computer.

Using USB Devices

To use a USB device with your computer, simply connect the device to the computer. Your computer automatically loads the correct software whenever you connect a new device. Note: Apple has already included software to work with many USB devices. If your PowerBook cannot find the correct software when you connect a USB device, you can either install the software that came with the device or follow the onscreen prompts to use the Internet to locate, download, and install the correct software.

USB Devices and Battery Power
USB devices, such as joysticks and keyboards, that get power from the USB connection instead of a separate power adapter can be used with your PowerBook. However, these types of USB devices can cause your PowerBook battery to become depleted faster. If you are using the device for an extended period, it is a good idea to connect the PowerBook power adapter.
Chapter 3 Using Your Computer
LL3092.book Page 35 Friday, February 4, 2005 6:02 PM
Using Multiple USB Devices at the Same Time
You can purchase a USB hub to connect multiple USB devices to your computer. The USB hub connects to an open USB port on your computer and provides additional USB ports (usually four or seven). Hi-Speed hubs can support USB 2.0 Hi-Speed devices as well as USB 1.1 compatible devices. USB 1.1 hubs dont allow Hi-Speed USB devices to operate at their maximum data speed. Some USB hubs have a power adapter and should be plugged into an outlet. Note: If you are using a chain of USB devices and hubs, some USB devices may not work when connected through a combination of USB 2.0 Hi-Speed hubs and USB 1.1 full-speed or low-speed hubs. For example, you may not see an external USB hard disk on your desktop. To avoid this problem, do not connect USB devices with different speeds together. Connect your Hi-Speed hub directly to your computer and connect Hi-Speed devices to it. Connect a full-speed or low-speed hub to your computer directly and connect similar speed devices to it.

USB hub

LL3092.book Page 74 Friday, February 4, 2005 6:02 PM

Using Your PowerBook

When using your PowerBook or when charging the battery, it is normal for the bottom of the case to get warm. For prolonged use, place your PowerBook on a flat, stable surface. The bottom of the PowerBook case functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the computer to the cooler air outside. The bottom of the case is raised slightly to allow airflow that keeps the unit within normal operating temperatures. In addition, the computer vents warm air from the back of the case. Warning: Do not place your PowerBook on a pillow or other soft material when it is on, as the material may block the airflow vents, in particular the rear vents, and cause the computer to overheat. Never place anything over your keyboard before closing the display. This can cause your computer to cycle on and off which may create excessive heat and drain your battery. Never turn on your computer unless all of its internal and external parts are in place. Operating the computer when it is open or missing parts can be dangerous and can damage your computer.

LL3092.book Page 76 Friday, February 4, 2005 6:02 PM
Warning: There is risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect battery type. Dispose of used batteries according to your local environmental guidelines. Dont puncture or incinerate the battery.

Avoid Hearing Damage

Warning: Permanent hearing loss may occur if earbuds or headphones are used at high volume. You can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound, which may sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing. Set your PowerBook volume to a safe level before that happens. If you experience ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use of earbuds or headphones with your PowerBook.

Ergonomics

Here are some tips for setting up a healthy work environment. Keyboard and Trackpad When you use the keyboard and trackpad, your shoulders should be relaxed. Your upper arm and forearm should form an angle that is slightly greater than a right angle, with your wrist and hand in roughly a straight line.

Not this

LL3092.book Page 77 Friday, February 4, 2005 6:02 PM
Use a light touch when typing or using the trackpad and keep your hands and fingers relaxed. Avoid rolling your thumbs under your palms.
Change hand positions often to avoid fatigue. Some computer users may develop discomfort in their hands, wrists, or arms after intensive work without breaks. If you begin to develop chronic pain or discomfort in your hands, wrists, or arms, consult a qualified health specialist. Chair An adjustable chair that provides firm, comfortable support is best. Adjust the height of the chair so your thighs are horizontal and your feet flat on the floor. The back of the chair should support your lower back (lumbar region). Follow the manufacturers instructions for adjusting the backrest to fit your body properly. You may have to raise your chair so your forearms and hands are at the proper angle to the keyboard. If this makes it impossible to rest your feet flat on the floor, you can use a footrest with adjustable height and tilt to make up for any gap between the floor and your feet. Or you may lower the desktop to eliminate the need for a footrest. Another option is to use a desk with a keyboard tray thats lower than the regular work surface. External Mouse If you use an external mouse, position the mouse at the same height as your keyboard and within a comfortable reach. Built-in Display Adjust the angle of the display to minimize glare and reflections from overhead lights and windows. Do not force the display if you meet resistance. The display is not meant to open past 140 degrees. You can adjust the brightness of the screen when you take the computer from one work location to another, or if the lighting in your work area changes.

Some DSL-based ISPs use Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE). If you use a DSL modem and need a user name and password to connect to the Internet, check with your ISP to determine if you should connect using PPPoE. To set up a PPPoE connection: Have your user name, password, and if required, the domain name server (DNS) address from your ISP available (see page 81). 1 In Network preferences, choose Built-in Ethernet from the Show pop-up menu. 2 Click PPPoE and select Connect using PPPoE.
3 Type the information into the corresponding fields. If you want all users of your computer to use the same connection method, select Save password. Note: To connect automatically when you start a TCP/IP application, such as a web browser or email, click PPPoE Options, then select Connect automatically when needed. 4 Click TCP/IP and choose either Using PPP or Manually from the Configure IPv4 pop-up menu, as instructed by your ISP. If you have a static IP address from your ISP, choose Manually and type the address in the IP Address field.

5 Type the domain name server (DNS) addresses in the DNS Servers field.
6 Click Apply Now. Once you configure your network, your Internet connection is ready. You can open your web browser or other TCP/IP application to test your connection. Important: If you did not select the option to connect automatically, you will need to open the Internet Connect application, choose the correct configuration, and then click Connect. For more information, choose Help > Internet Connect Help from the menu bar at the top of the display.
AirPort Extreme Wireless Connection
You can configure your AirPort Extreme network and Internet connection using AirPort Setup Assistant, located in the Utilities folder within your Applications folder. The assistant helps you configure the AirPort Extreme Base Station or AirPort Express and set up your computer to use AirPort Extreme. For more information about your base station, see the documentation that came with your base station. If your AirPort Extreme Base Station or AirPort Express is already configured, in most cases your AirPort Extreme Card is ready to access it immediately.

Troubleshooting Your Connection
Cable Modem, DSL, and LAN Internet Connections
If you cant connect to the Internet using your cable modem, DSL, or local area network (LAN), see the following steps. Important: Instructions that refer to modems do not apply to LAN users. LAN users may have hubs, switches, routers, or connection pods that cable and DSL modem users do not. LAN users should contact their network administrator rather than an ISP.
LL3092.book Page 93 Friday, February 4, 2005 6:02 PM
Check the cables and power supplies Make sure all modem cables are firmly plugged in, including the modem power cord, the cable from the modem to the computer, and the cable from the modem to the wall jack. Check the cables and power supplies to Ethernet hubs and routers. Turn the modem off and on and reset the modem hardware Cycle the power on your DSL or cable modem by turning it off for a few minutes and then turning it back on. Some ISPs recommend that you unplug the modems power cord. If your modem has a reset button, you can press it either before or after cycling the power.

PPPoE Connections

If you are unable to connect to your ISP using PPPoE, first check the cables and power supplies, then turn the modem off and on again and reset the modem hardware. Check System Preferences settings 1 Choose Apple () > System Preferences from the menu bar. 2 Click Network. 3 Choose Network Port Configurations from the Show pop-up menu. 4 Drag Built-in Ethernet to the top of the Port Configurations list. 5 Choose Built-in Ethernet from the Show pop-up menu. 6 Click PPPoE. 7 Select Connect using PPPoE. 8 Check the Account Name field to be sure you have entered the correct information from your ISP. 9 If you chose to save your password, retype it to make sure it is correct. 10 Click TCP/IP. Make sure youve entered the correct information from your ISP in this pane. 11 Click Apply Now.

Network Connections

If you have two or more computers attempting to share an Internet connection, be sure that your network is set up properly. You need to know if your ISP provides only one IP address or if it provides multiple IP addresses, one for each computer. If only one IP address is used, then you must have a router capable of sharing the connection, also known as network address translation (NAT) or IP masquerading. For setup information, check the documentation provided with your router or ask the person who set up your network. The AirPort Extreme Base Station may be used to share one IP address among multiple computers. For information on using the AirPort Extreme Base Station, check the onscreen help or visit the Apple AirPort website at www.apple.com/airport. If you cannot resolve the issue using these steps, contact your ISP.

Identifying the Powerbook G4 550/667
The powerbook G4 Titanium is easily identified by its titanium frame and sleek appearance. Even though all of the models look nearly identical, each of them is different in a unique way, and the parts are NOT interchangeable between models. The easiest way to identify which model you have and need parts for is by processor speed. The pairs listed below are compatible only with each other. For example, the 400mhz can use 500mhz parts, but cannot use the parts from a 550mhz. 400mhz & 500mhz 550mhz & 667mhz (non-DVI) 667mhz & 867mhz DVI To determine if your machine is a DVI model, then you will need to look at the rear ports on your unit. Look at the pictures below. The first picture is a NON-DVI model. (Notice the VGA port next to the fan slots.
The picture below is from a DVI model. Notice the rectangular DVI port.

Display Take Apart / Hinge Replacement
READ BEFORE PROCEEDING Working on the display of the G4 Titanium is a very risky procedure. If you are not careful, there is a high risk of damaging your display. Also, the casing will not look 100% cosmetically perfect many times after performing this repair if you have never done this type of work before. Physical Harm The casing of the Display is extremely sharp, and you risk cutting yourself on the casing if you are not careful. We strongly recommend using protective gloves when performing this procedure. By performing any work on your Powerbook and by continuing with this repair, you agree that Powerbookmedic.com is in no way shape or form responsible for any damage done to your laptop or for physical injury done to yourself. Before proceeding, you must first remove: Battery Keyboard Bottom Case Airport Card (If installed) Logic Board Display Hinge Mount Removal Hold your display as shown, and locate the 2 hinge mounts shown in red in the picture. They will be held on by two black Philips head screws

Page 25 of 41 Copyright 2004 Powerbookmedic.com. All rights reserved.
Remove the two Philips head screws on each hinge mount as shown. Make sure to apply enough downward pressure so as not to strip the screws.
Guide the hinge mount out and towards you as shown.
Page 26 of 41 Copyright 2004 Powerbookmedic.com. All rights reserved.
Opening the Display On both sides of the display you will notice 2 Torx T6 Screws as shown in red. If you want to remove the entire back panel (not recommended) or get to the display cable, youll need to remove all 4. If you are performing just a hinge replacement, you only need to remove one from each side. (The ones on the bottom of the display where the hinges are located)
If your hinges are broken, the next step will be much easier. If your hinges arent broken, then there is a high likelihood of breaking them when you try to open the display unless you take extra care. Grab the display as shown, and pull with a fair amount of force up. You are needing to break the epoxy bond holding the display together. Try to only grasp the display as close to the edge as possible. You do not want to put pressure anywhere near the actual LCD or you may break it.
Page 27 of 41 Copyright 2004 Powerbookmedic.com. All rights reserved.
After the initial bond is broken, you need to work your way around the display to break the bond. Do this slowly. If you try to do too much at one time youll dent your display casing. Again, only grasp from the sides. If you are performing the hinge repair only break the bond up to about 3-4 along the sideyou want to break the bond as little as possible as it will be a cleaner repair when you are done.
Display Cable Replacement If you are replacing the hinges, skip these next steps for the display cable removal. Break the bond all the way around three edges of the display. Do not break the bond on the top of the display (side with screen latch mechanism) unless absolutely necessary. It is very difficult to put the casing back together if you break the top bond.
Page 28 of 41 Copyright 2004 Powerbookmedic.com. All rights reserved.
After you work your way around, it should look something like the picture.
From the base of the display, open the display as shown. Youll notice there is an orange piece of tape holding the display cable to the display connector. You will need to remove this piece of tape as well as the piece holding the cable on closer to the bottom of the display. You will then be able to remove the cable from its connector.
Page 29 of 41 Copyright 2004 Powerbookmedic.com. All rights reserved.
Note: this picture is turned around from the picture above. The display cable is most easily replaced by replacing the enter cable and frieze (the white cylindrical plastic piece that is about 7 long) The frieze is held on by a light epoxy, so you just have to pull it towards you and off as shown. The cable will then be free. You can then replace the cable. You will need to epoxy the case (and frieze back together) Use a small amount of epoxy all the way along the casing edge, and then clamp and let sit. See instructions below for more information on epoxy.

Hinge Replacement Note: Some of these pictures are taken with the display still attached. It is possible to do the repair without removing the display module, but in so doing you risk more damage to your unit. We strongly recommend against this! There are two main ways your hinges can break. We will cover the repair of both types of breaks below. Break Type # 1 The picture to the left shows the first type of possible hinge break. If youre lucky, this is what youve got. The hinge is broken off only at the base. This makes extraction of the bad hinge much easier. Follow the instructions above to break the bond on about 3-4 of the casing on the side of the casing of the hinge you need to replace.
Use a flat tool to nudge the bad hinge up. Do not use a lot of force or you will dent your casing.
Page 31 of 41 Copyright 2004 Powerbookmedic.com. All rights reserved.
Follow the hinge along, and continue gently nudging the hinge up until you believe it is sufficiently loose to be extracted. Again, do not use much force.
Use a pair of need nose pliers to pull the hinge towards you and out. Note: Do not use much force. You want the hinge to come out easily. If you use too much force the hinge will break and extraction will be much more difficult. If you have extracted your hinge at this point, skip the next step on the second type of break.
Page 32 of 41 Copyright 2004 Powerbookmedic.com. All rights reserved.
Break Type # 2 With the second type of break, there is a stronger likelihood that the repair will leave your casing slightly damaged. In this type of break, the hinge breaks higher up into your casing. This makes extraction of the bad hinge much more difficult.
If you havent done so already, follow the instructions above to break the bond on about 3-4 of the casing on the side of the casing of the hinge you need to replace. Then, extract the first part of the broken hinge.
Page 33 of 41 Copyright 2004 Powerbookmedic.com. All rights reserved.
If the rest of the hinge does not come out easily, you will need to use a flat head tool to follow the piece of the hinge and break the bond with the hinge and the casing. The less force you use, the easier it will be to close your casing.
A lot of times, you will damage the thin piece of metal that connects the top casing to the bottom casing. When you close your display back, it will normally go back into position, but you may have to prod it in certain places with a flat head screwdriver to allow the casing to close correctly.
Page 34 of 41 Copyright 2004 Powerbookmedic.com. All rights reserved.
Use a pair of needle nose pliers to extract the hinge when it is loose enough to be pulled out.
Putting it Back Together To put the display back together, you have to bond it with epoxy or contact cement. We use Loctite Quick Set Epoxy. It is very strong, and does the job well. The downside is that if you make a mistake in the repair, getting back in may be more difficult. Contact cement has a more glue consistency, and while it wont look as pretty or be as strong, it will be easier to undo if you make a mistake. If you use the epoxy, premix the two components. (You can use broken hinges to mix.)

Page 35 of 41 Copyright 2004 Powerbookmedic.com. All rights reserved.
Apply the epoxy to the hinge. Apply enough to thoroughly coat the hinge, but not enough so that it drops off the hinge or that there are big gobs. If you use too much you could damage the display. Also, BE CAREFUL with the epoxy. Do not get the epoxy on your display or you will damage it. Make sure you only get it on the hinge and the area it needs to go in.
Line the epoxied hinge up with the hinge hole.
NOTE: If you are repairing the hinge around the inverter wire, be extremely careful that you guide the wire into the frieze before putting the hinge in. You want the inverter cable to come out of the frieze and no other place or you will have a whole other set of problems on your hand.
Page 36 of 41 Copyright 2004 Powerbookmedic.com. All rights reserved.
Guide the hinge into place. Make sure the hinge goes all the way back and then fits snugly into its corner. Wipe off any excess epoxy!
Use a strong spring clamp (available at Wal-mart) to clamp the display shut. Only clamp the edge of the display! Do not put the clamp on the actual LCD or you will break it. Let the epoxy sit for 24 hours or as the instructions say. 24 hours is a good time to let the epoxy sit however. After it is dry, use a cleaner like GOO BE GONE on the case if you accidentally got some epoxy on it. Reassemble your laptop.

Rib Frame / Heat Exchange Replacement
Before proceeding, you must first remove: Battery Keyboard Bottom Case Airport Card (If installed) Logic Board Display
Remove the two torx T8 screws as shown.
Remove the 4 Torx T6 Screws near the ports as shown. This will loosen two pieces from the rib frame (panel mounts). Remove these panel mounts.
Page 38 of 41 Copyright 2004 Powerbookmedic.com. All rights reserved.
Along the rib frame there are 4 small torx T8 screws. The two shown to the left are in the hard drive cage. The one in the picture below is under the airport cable near where the airport card goes. The last picture is hard to tell, but it is near the inverter board on the left hand side of the casing. Remove all 4 screws.

Page 39 of 41 Copyright 2004 Powerbookmedic.com. All rights reserved.
Gently lift the rib frame up and out.
Disconnect the audio cable on the left hand side and right hand side of the unit. If it is wrapped in orange tape, remove the orange tape. Note (The picture shows the modem and PCMCIA card cage. These pieces should have been removed prior to this step if you followed the instructions.) The heat exchanger will now lift up and out.
