| iBook G4 Problems |
Posted by: ken27238 on 2009-11-18 05:57:35
the computer that I am working on is:
1.33 GHz iBook G4
1Gb of ram
60 Gb Hd
Running 10.4.11 Tiger
the problem that I'm having is:
1) there is an apple wireless mouse model number A1015 that is paired and it dosen't work, when you push the cover back on the mouse to power it on it blinks once and after that it only blinks when you click it. the the weird thing is when you click it when its off it also dose the same thing when its on (lights up when you click it). I tried to use the same mouse on an iMac that has bluetooth and it dose the same thing. so i'm thinking that its a mouse problem.
any help would be much appreciated

mouse update:
i found out something strange.....if you hold down the mouse button while its off and the light turns on then you open the cover then the connection comes back!!! but there a catch you have to continue to hold down the mouse button for the connection to remain 😛 if you let go the connection is lost

Sounds like a problem with the mouse. You should return it or see if any other bluetooth device pairs with the iBook.

actually the fix was the easiest thing ever.....the metal tab that is use to push down the on/off button on the bottom near the optical sensor was squished down!!!! a little bending and its working fine now 🙂
