Back in the 90s, I'd cry crocodile tears over Macs I couldn't afford. One of them was the clamshell iBook. Now, fool that I am, I want to get my hands on one. :p So, my questions- What should I look out for, in terms of failing parts? What would be some decent prices for one? I'm looking for...

LOL, I don't have the technical know-how anyway; I'm just a writer/illustrator/photographer. 🙃

Well, it should be interesting to see if this issue comes back, once I get the G4's power supply back from Andy's refurbishing service in Texas. Andy starts work on it Monday.

Andy received the power supply Friday, and will start work on it Monday.

Gracias. 😎

Hope this is the right forum!

Here are the pics. Nothing in the BIOS from what I can see…in Device Manager, do I disable the HID compliant mouse?

I tried, using what was available in the BIOS, but I still have that stupid cursor drift issue. :(

Found software to measure CPU temperatures. Here’s a pic…

Nah, I already have 5 Macs using OSX (2 desktops, 3 laptops). I'll keep this one strictly Windows. 🙃

LMAO, I want to get W7 tweaked here first! 🙃

Unfortunately, I couldn't install CoreTemp-I keep getting a "driver failed to load" error. What else can I try? Thanks for your help. :)

Last question for now... What's the ideal temperature that this machine should be operating at?

Hm. Wonder if I could put a 250-gig SSD in this D630... :unsure:

A question for you folks-what's a good piece of software to measure the temperature of the CPU? Redoing the thermal paste on this machine is a bit more involved than just removing the keyboard, as it involves the removal of the display and a fair amount of disassembly.

Second video I'm watching now. I'll have to dig up an I-FixIt tutorial.

At least, I might add an additional 2 gigs of RAM, because I might install an older version of Photoshop on here. But this machine will remain a home unit, and be primarily used for writing. Though...watching this video, I wonder if an SSD replacement is possible for this machine and what the...

Found this...

Thanks for the suggestion! However, 1) I don’t have the technical knowledge to do that (I’m just a writer/illustrator) and 2) this Dell laptop will be primarily used for writing: fiction, essays and poetry. So usage will be very light on this machine.😎
