I overrode the cache management and maxed it out. Some basic stuff from the top of my head though. I'll have to collect it all and post back. That's a rather lengthy thread involving a bunch of edits to about:config and a few other things. Well, that and Torx wrenches and screws and a new LCD and…
Ifreemem key mac#
A bit of love is all this Mac really needed. She's a good Mac and optimizing all this junk has managed to keep me almost even with my other Mac which is fine as far as cache goes.īut I hate tossing Macs because someone somwhere believes that it's lifespan is over.
Stuff like a VNC server I left running a long time back and didn't turn off because I forgot about it, etc, etc. There's also been a whole bunch of delving into the file system to find the stuff that is slowing me down. Over time SystemUIServer, which is the menu bar process will pull increased memory because of iStat. For instance, iStat Menus 2 has a memory leak. And I've found out a lot of other things. I have it now where at idle I can pull about 15-25% CPU, even on Facebook. Optimizing Aurorafox/TenFourFox/Firefox has been an experience. I mainly use this Mac for web browsing and email with some light photo editing and word processing. It's made me figure out a lot of stuff I would not have otherwise. Was replacing the sound board at one point and the speaker wire decided it wanted to split (age) so I stripped the wire on both ends, twisted them back together and bound it up with electricians tape.Ĭertainly not an Apple approved fix I imagine. I myself have electricians tape inside my 1Ghz Mac. It may be that the lock is not holding the ribbon cable in securely, IDK. No idea if that matters here or not, but all I can say is that this problem considerably decreased after upgrading.
Ifreemem key install#
I cloned my old drive to this Mac when I got it which was a mistake because the Tiger install I cloned only had system specific stuff for an older Mac and not this PB. Note that this problem became considerably less when I updated to Leopard. So, replacing the entire top deck won't be necessary. If what you did doesn't work, you should know that the keyboard itself is replaceable. Hasn't happened in a long time though so I put it down to the cable. The PB came with some other problems as well (I bought it with the understanding that it was on it's "last legs").Īll I can say is that each time I have done what I explained this has fixed itself. I had this problem start randomly about a few days after I got my PB three years ago. Well, if this tape thing works then there is no problem. I have bought from him before and everything has been fine so I don't believe that he lied but just tested bit too quickly before putting this on sale. It has been pretty long time and I'm quite sure that the seller would not respond or believe me. I'm bit disappointed that I bought this machine used over a month ago but only yesterday I was able to actually test. Now I reattached the cable as good as I could and taped it so it should stay in place. I might need to take a look under the keycaps to see if there's something, dried liquid spill etc.ĮDIT: There is definently connection problem, when keys were out, I tried to push the keyboard ribbon cable harder to the connector and keys were back, when I slightly pushed the cable to other direction, meaning that cable would disconnect a bit, keys were out. Cables seem to be firmly attached, those keys came back life after I just kept pressing them, same keys always stop functioning and actually when writing this, they were gone again but back now. Keys work at the moment, but they have already stopped working couple times. I unscrewed all screw necessary and I am now running the machine with the topcase being loose.
This is probably built a bit differently, but anyways.
