Druaga1's PowerBook Curse

[@AdamBGames]

druaga1 video in 4 words : Simple idea, convoluted outcome

[@TheRedCap]

Sounds an awful lot like Apple to me

[@lilstonedfoxplayground4182]

blood sacrificed has been made. you have appeased the computer gods.

[@noahdejesus5601]

Thanks KZbin for randomly recommending this to me.

[@Fesiug]

no prob

[@heytherecool]

+LightOnOff (Fesiug) hi youtube

[@1300l]

Hey smoker, welcome ;)

[@retimarci]

And you enjoyed this video and Druga's sarcasm? ^^

[@nurullahaksay]

welcome, smoker

[@frank668]

If I recall correctly, Yellow Dog Linux was what the US Air Force used for their PS3 supercomputer cluster, that's probably why they have a PS3 build.

[@paincreatesfame]

spending my entire sick day off school watching druaga1 is the only proper thing to do

[@advancedsimpleness6345]

You didn’t physically break the PowerBook, you mentally broke it. It was positive thinking holding it together, and when you gave up hope, the computer broke.

[@studiopapa5874]

That trackball looks like a horrible cyst growing out of that poor machine.

[@user-fc4so8of8o]

Eating cooked eggs and watching Druaga destroy ancient art, what a life.

[@ProtoMario]

Confirmed 31:07 Duraga1 is Scarce

[@burgerindividual]

ProtoMario holy shit ur right!

[@mehrabuddin4497]

LOL

[@nyxiehero5979]

since I am scarce............when it comes to dvds

[@tOSdude]

1. RW discs can be erased and re-burned. 2. Try plugging in the drive you were using instead of letting it run on magical thoughts.

[@SOF006]

You don't understand, Druaga makes videos under the intention of doing things the most difficult way possible.

[@SilverBlazeBrony]

It's true.

[@Kritical_Fail]

number 2 OMG XD

[@Kolroling]

I second that!

[@itzspencerr1403]

I'm in Journalism class... But Druaga1 made a new video thus I have to watch it in it's entirety, because Druaga1 is my religion.

[@derpinbird1180]

Hey you have already got journalism 101 down packed may as well watch it up.

[@albertcazares9092]

In Soviet Russia...

[@1300l]

The future of the nation... Another Smoker :P

[@caharkness]

@Joke, You make it sound like getting a job is destiny or something. The fact is that you will never get rich working for somebody else because you are helping them get rich. Journalism is definitely on the other end of the "work force" spectrum and is usually freelancer work. Successful freelancers often hire people like you so you can have a "job".

[@mspeter97]

What Druaga1 didn't know was that PPC Macs can't *normally* boot from USB. At least not when using the boot picker. But you can always do some magic using the OpenFirmware command line to boot from USB.

[@jbrooks4282]

Le Docteur "boot usb1/disk@1:,\\yaboot" or something like that.

[@iGuy7777]

yes I could install Linux on a g5 from USB with this guide: ben-collins.blogspot.ch/2010/08/booting-your-ibook-g4-from-usb-stick.html

[@jdpruente]

On top of that, he should have used dd on the G4 to write the image to the USB so it would actually have the boot blocks and not just files on a file system.

[@EdwardJamesBickels]

The usb drive should have been using the apple partition map. I believe all ppc macs require this to boot

[@iGuy7777]

he did write it in rufus using dd mode, that shouldn't be the problem

[@Bp1033]

guy tries to computer, everything breaks.

[@frozensys]

The axle of your Conner hard drive is blocked. I revived mine by opening it carefully, giving the platter a gentle rotating move (not touching platters, touching the center), and while I was there, putting a couple drops of bicycle lube. It worked for some times, then the power adapter broke (you can apparently open those non-destructively by clamping them on a vice, check on the 68kmla forums). Also, macs boot from a floppy by default. To eject the floppy, keep the mouse button pressed whilst booting.

[@24kben]

Rufus is awesome software that works perfectly. The problem is that PowerPC macs with "old world" boot loader don't support USB booting

[@PhaQ2]

Thanks Druaga1. I have had more than my fair share of complete failures and much shedding of blood on sharp PC case edges. I thoroughly enjoyed and shared your pain.

[@BenEsherick]

except that wasn't last week

[@wielku]

You literally shed blood to make this video :D

[@hipolitosegismundez]

Surprised he didn't name the USB drive "yellow dogg"

[@RubyIsBored]

previous video: no more weed jokes, This video: a weed joke in the intro

[@jakesbase5657]

At 45:39 I started bawling

[@davidbosilj]

When he said we might use compact flash, my heart stopped for a second

[@AiOinc1]

The difference between the new MacBook Pro and the PowerBook 170 is that System 6.0.8 will start up significantly faster than Mac OS X could ever hope to *dream* of. It doesn't matter about raw computer power - it's efficiency. Intel proved that in the early 2000s with the Pentium 4 vs. AMD's Athlon series.

[@AiOinc1]

That CMOS battery isn't soldered on, it's spot welded!

[@sithsiri]

omg it's because of the os, not the "efficiency" of the cpu

[@ethanruckert3871]

Doofus Industries dude your so right!

[@TheRedCap]

"Oh boy a druaga video! eh, I didn't need to sleep anyway" every damn early druaga comment...

[@ducttapeanddreams]

Powerbooks are IDE, you can try putting CF cards in them with an adapter. There are some steps involved, but it's not impossible. I have a couple CF cards spare so I can do it if I need.

[@corygreen1895]

Laptops on the carpet and OLD? This is why I love you Druaga

[@benjaminbrady2385]

The all-new Macintosh Paddybook 170

[@NepgearGM6.1]

Benjamin Brady introducing the MacBook 420

[@howl3098]

Make a series called "Will it Compact Flash" That would be amazing

[@Pilotgeek]

Whenever I feel like I'm not an idiot, I listen to your videos. Just to know that there's someone out there literally exactly like me.

[@jonmahashintina]

This episode sponsored by Ireland. Curse of the Powerbooks! You must slay the Powerbook gohst and free yourself!!

[@averyoriginalname1547]

i like gohsts.

[@NepgearGM6.1]

t'is fellow wtf ghosts are dangerous

[@whiskeyjuliet]

Hope you didn't cut yourself up too bad on that powerbook. That OpenArena flashback comment really got me tho.

[@Essometer]

This is exactly how all my hackintosh projects go, every time. Your Sunday is over and you haven't get shit done.

[@stanstrum9920]

Taking apart and reassembling (especially) is the most terrifying and scary thing you will ever do

[@bobmanuk]

next time, destroying the bastard laptops that cut Druaga1

[@NepgearGM6.1]

bobmanuk yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees

[@MaximNightFury]

"Who wants to use their DVD like a flash drive?" _laughs in DVD-RAM_

[@ScottBeebiWan]

Please don't give up on the PowerBooks.

[@loganbahm]

skipped school yesterday and today to watch, thanks 4 upload bro

[@SenkJu]

logan dont do that

[@darkmagnet21]

I'm going to tell your teacher Logan

[@Antonio-he4oh]

logan good

[@DyoKasparov]

That's how it's done, my man xD

[@fancysnake1]

Same but I had surgery :)

[@BladeMaverick]

Get an Android device, root it, and get DriveDroid. Load your android with ISOs and use that instead of burning CDs. Your computer thinks your phone is a CD drive with the ISO and loads even off OS.

[@SenkJu]

BladeMaverick lol thats cool. never heard of that

[@TheOnlyITPro]

+Druaga1 I recently had to reinstall OS x for a customer on a PowerBook g4 and it turns out it doesn't natively have support for USB boot only firewire. The way to boot to USB is you have to go into command line and do a bunch of commands in order to make it recognize the USB as a bootable device and boot through the command line. Hope this helps, love your videos keep up the good work.

[@yjk_music]

I heard that someone tries to boot off USB using OpenFirmware command prompt.. But that's just what I know. So... It looks like you cannot directly boot using that menu.

[@dragom3417]

LOL, one of the best videos yet! Everyone who has been a tech for any amount of time has had these kinds of days.

[@meowcat2854]

I am not done with the vid yet but at one point when the PowerBook 170 wont boot is becuse the rom is stored on the Hard Drive.

[@pizzaboxer]

Exactly, when I saw that the hard disk had an EPROM label on it, I knew why it wasn't booting up.

[@ELECTROHAXZ]

Thats why I wear rubber gloves when I repair computers, I would have destroyed the glove, not my finger.

[@amanguver]

I still have my unopened Lightscribe CDs from 2006

[@AEX10]

amanguver Send me one, I have a lightscribe drive

[@applepinez]

AEX10 Buy a pack from Amazon

[@AEX10]

Duffel Bag Full of Tech I'm joking lol

[@darkwatersband]

i have a powerbook 170 and when it does that with the hard drive it means its broken and should be removed asap

[@LightyNourT]

Finally, a Druaga1 video I can waste my time with. :D

[@thevividyoshi]

By the by, I recently picked up a PowerBook 140 that... didn't work. Or so I thought, until I grabbed a multimeter and realized that the power brick is dead. From what I've read, these power bricks are fairly fragile and die if you blow on them too hard, so you might want to try getting another 7.5v power supply, and splice the cable across, or just buy an aftermarket supply

[@Fretslapper97]

Ive got like at least 5 of those in my workshop that may or may not work. Id test and fix em but i dont have power supplies for them

[@NonsensicalSpudz]

dat power brick. hate them it takes up two slots for no reason

[@SuperMario1005]

I have at least a hundred of both DVDs and CDs, you can find them literally everywhere.

[@adwaitagnome]

10:42 those words prove that Druaga1 will try to put an SSD (or some form of NAND storage) into everything.

[@HSmasteryoda]

To boot usb from powerbook g4's hold down option, cmd O F, type in boot usb1/disk@1:,\\yaboot. and hit enter.

[@MasticinaAkicta]

Sometimes old stuff just doesn't wants to work. Of course sometimes NEW stuff doesn't wants to work either.

[@BigBangClips]

Some Bios, expecely old ones, don't support USB boot, you can use PloP from any Hirens CD that you have, then you can boot from USB on an unsupported Bios

[@nilswegner2881]

BigBangClips but that only works on x86 and not on older apple ppc macs

[@zacharynance9511]

Druaga1 you should try Rufus. It makes bootable USB's of Windows, Linux, OS X, etc. you can also use USB hard drives

[@joeconti2396]

Fairly sure you can only boot Firewire drives off those old G4 Powerbooks. I could be wrong. May be thinking of Target Mode.

[@cyber_pirate]

It sounds like you have the same luck with installing things as I do It never goes your way

[@animedudevid]

I keep hearing how wonderful Mac designs are. But that tear down was ridiculous.

[@ansonx10]

I had to use "open firmware" mode (command-option-o-f on boot, I think) and some commands from the Ubuntu site (I think) to make an old TiBook boot from a USB because the disc drive is broken. I'm sure the same would work on this. I had those commands memorized for a while, because of all the reinstalls I did.

[@loxyx781]

Never have I been so happy to click on a youtube recommendation.

[@DiamondProAlpine]

yes Druaga that does mean the PlayStation 3 as it has an install other os button thats been removed from the PlayStation 3 os

[@IBEGDL]

you can save the powe mac that not turn on maybe is the power button. you need to brigde just a little where the power buttonn is just the point where is solder the button

[@beingatliberty]

laptop 2 noise is hard drive failure, the 'mac portable' was the first apple portable laptop, had my hands on one many years ago, i should have bought it.

[@cb1671]

I have a PowerBook 100 just like that in my basement. Unfortunately the Hard Drive is long dead, and the only replacement is either another ancient hard drive or a CF adapter that costs like $115.

[@000000000o0000000]

I was wondering if anyone here has any sites to find old pc and components? I'd love to start screwing around with old computer stuff.

[@ahmadaamer6]

If you completely kill a led acid battery, it is completely dead and will never work no matter how much you charge it.

[@TobyCowles]

Just so you know you can reuse DVD-RW disks as many times as you want, so after you write to it once you can write to it again and again so you don't waste it

[@vkoskiv]

Those were actually released at the same time. The 100 is just the slim, light model.

[@everythinggtav621]

a druaga1 video always brightens up my day

[@krass76]

also: Plop Boot Manager. If you have a PC that doesn't support USB Boot, you start from that CD and then you can boot off of USB.

[@nilswegner2881]

krass76 but thats only for x86 and not for the other archs

[@sparticus214]

You know it's obsolete when a MAC is used for comparison.

[@NAKGRR]

It was the first powerbook that was ever smoked!

[@kylehues8465]

It hurts me to watch you do this. More! I NEED MORE!

[@IAMSolaara]

to boot a drive on ppc macs you have to use APM as partition map

[@Nomaran]

Druaga the reason those power books probably aren't working is because of the old power adapter. I have a PowerBook 120 (I think) and I had to replace the adapter. Every once in a blue moon the old adapter would work. I believe the PowerBooks use 19v and 3a. But I'd double check

[@ab.3800]

on screws like that 6:53 u pry in between the case to put tension on it then they usually come out btw

[@dylc413]

is it just me or did anyone else notice the screen on the more modern powerbook was off center to the rest of the computer when he opened it?

[@DearHalo_lover]

Did you know rufus has a small timer in the lower right hand corner?

[@tubex0214]

Hmm , read a book asigment or watdh Druaga1 ???

[@jussapitka6041]

Crazy Tubex looks like u are watching druaga

[@haroldflower8008]

You should do something with the Powerbook G3. I had one for a while with a broken charger

[@6Diego1Diego9]

what happen to the new content

[@DrFoxter]

Hey Druaga1 I'm a fan of your videos and don't worry, i still liked this video a lot as it made me laugh many time. Keep on making them, they help me relax after a hard week. Thank you and keep on smoking.

[@chrismax99Gaming]

You should check if you got the extended warranty and contact Apple support.

[@P5YcHoKiLLa]

6:54 You don't rip screws you can't remove, you get a drill with the same width as the screw body and drill the head off.

[@thekidd7860]

When Druaga has a rage moment and throws flame at his only life style of collecting spare disks xD.

[@TorutheRedFox]

Wait, so, if I buy a Powerbook 170 from the USA, then it would have went from Ireland to the US, and back. huh.

[@comptonrapper601]

PowerPCs can't boot from USB unless you boot into Open Firmware and start it from there.

[@krutikquiran8184]

I beg you do some videos with the MacBook mid 2010 unibody a1342, so many possible things to do with and it's really cheap to buy

[@AiOinc1]

the year of compute time on the Powerbook 170 would have been spent doing useful work vs the 5 seconds of browsing tumblr at starbucks on the new Macbook

[@HarryMimigiannis]

I really admire your patience. Keep up the good work

[@danielfouke1823]

if that is the worst thing that happened today your day was pretty good

[@ItsPyrus]

I love how you do all this computer stuff on the shaggiest carpet known to man. Ballsy stuff.

[@TechHowden]

I feel like I have an old PC curse whenever I open an old computer it seems to just die!

[@sugna82plays61]

Is it just me or did The PowerBooks look like giant nes game cartridges. I might just be having nostalgic flashbacks.

[@trent245]

Damn if that powerbook 100 was on criminal minds or something they’d never get a confession outta him

[@brentdamage1520]

This is what it was like with my Macintosh SE EVERY... DAY.

[@kris5451]

Someone buy him a few iFixit plastic opening tools/spudgers so he can open things without breaking them

[@bnmc]

DRUAGA1 VID LES GO Again, don't care what you upload. I will probably be here until you quit, if you do. Don't care if you don't upload anything at all for a while, I'll still be here. You can at least count on having one reliable viewer. -BNMC0919

[@cometdude6789]

lol the harddrive has a rev limiter

[@glcr]

360p? is youtube buggin on me?
