Repairing a TINY 12” PowerBook G4

[@jonathanschober1032]

Frokfrdk is what you get if druga1 and DankPods had a love child

[@B1akTang1dH4rt]

A wild druaga1 fan appears.

[@alittlebit64]

Another duraga1 and Dankpods fan I see

[@DistrosProjects]

You can eject the disc by turning the Mac on while holding the left mouse button/touchpad button. Also, always ALWAYS take keys off from the top of the key, not the side! You won't break the key if you do that.

[@frokfrdk]

I tried holding down the button on boot and it unfortunately didn't eject

[@lelwani]

I love the niche genre of youtube videos where people torture themselves with old Macs. Reminds me of old druaga1 content. Great stuff, subscribed!

[@EvilTurkeySlices]

MacOS9Lives is a custom version of MacOS 9 with some quality of life stuff and support for non supported machines. Not sure why the 12” didn’t like it though.

[@smileyface8124]

The leaf is less obsolete than the frankenstein laptop.

[@coffee24000]

[@everlasts]

The 12" PowerBook G4 is one of my favorite Macs!

[@Norieu]

[@taylorkiggins9081]

A leaf came with it? Must be the Canadian model.

[@s9techz]

Powerbooks are powerfull, i'm sure it didn't got hurt by the first hit!

[@privated-acc-google-dblu]

Amazing new video!

[@CarlazorTheFourth]

ngl the keyboard looks like the one on the new acer laptop

[@duplicake4054]

Amazing video!

[@yorgle]

Ifixit has a lot of good step by step teaardowns that would help with disassembling stuff.. Also some of the G4s and older didn't boot from USB drives.

[@SoundToxin]

G4 and G3 can boot from USB via OpenFirmware commands. It looked like he was starting to figure that out but gave up. I've got a G3 iMac with a broken disc drive I just put a fresh install of Tiger on in the last couple weeks.

[@PeterEmery]

That's quite a good video card. It's better than the Intel GMA 950 that went into the 2006 MacBook (edited, I had typed PowerBook).

[@Radiiiiiiiii]

2006 MacBook, not PowerBook

[@PeterEmery]

@@Radiiiiiiiii Yeah, that’s what I meant. Thanks.

[@nico_jpeg]

does it taste good?

[@codix__]

Oh woah ! Very cool ! I found one for 15€ without the charger and with a 0% battery so I will se how it goes when I will had my power supply.

[@trisiegt]

[@HorizonOutOfWar]

[@dustarma]

What's that screwdriver you use?

[@Exponaut_R-01]

“I’ve always wanted one of these but they’re just so expensive! So I bought two of them-“

[@O5-XIV]

Like ya stuff, new subscriber. Also, i feel ya pain. i had to burn a Linux OS to Disk due to dead usb port's on a laptop x_X took forever and a day XD

[@Wolkebuch99]

Are these plastic or the titanium cased? If titanium, the alloy might delaminating

[@frokfrdk]

It's aluminium

[@SpikeTheHedgehog-c6t]

THERES A LEAF THERES A LEAF THERES A LEAF THERES A LEAF 1:04

[@SpikeTheHedgehog-c6t]

oh he noticed it

[@bramvandenbroeck5060]

This shouldn't even be possible! These Powerbooks are never ment to run macos 9! These are normally os x only laptops! That is so weird! Amazing that the 17 inch booted from the macos 9 on some random hard drive . . . Crazy!

[@waldfruchttee]

couldnt you just screw the dvd/cd drive open to retrieve the disk?

[@keiana-r8k]

bri-ish? im that im in cornwall redruth

[@ipodsandmacs]

11:23 To get the disc out hold the trackpad button or the left button of a mouse when you hear the startup sound. Edit: 18:26 On some PowerPC computers, you can't boot off USB drives.

[@boywithukefan420]

your gpu is good enough to run halo so it good by me

[@mintybudgie]

lil mac

[@billgates3699]

I cannot resist the mini PowerBook. Dammit. It’s just an IRRESISTABLE toy 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@Johnathan069]

[@tigersusyt]

Noo, my MacOs can't be installed... RIP TIGER

[@wondows]

[@sarpmanon]

[@EngieInPixels]

Well of to visit your mother

[@cofffeegirll]

ches

[@elektrosmieciarze]

fajnie

[@EirikrTinkerTries]

Now get a 512GB mSATA along with an mSATA to IDE enclosure. And then multiboot it 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 Leaked version, MorphOS, see if Haiku works, Debian PowerPC, OpenBSD PowerPC and/or NetBSD/macppc…. 7 OSes with one questionable? Yeah. I’d say that is gonna be the most cursed, loaded with software, PowerBook 12” on the planet

[@mihkelkastehein9470]

BRO u took the ram out of the 2nd powerbook thats why it wouldnt boot

[@Saiman_Hussaini]

[@patricktrakzel9657]

Crap design with the screws underneath the keys.

[@ojrancans5210]

Let me guess - you're a Mac noob. Never heard of MacOS9Lives! and booting OS9 on unsupported G4s? 😂😂😂
