Thanks, you guys. Turned out to be a dead lower ram slot, apparently a known problem on this model. And of course, it didn't happen to me until 4+ years after Apple stopped fixing it for free. So I can replace the logic board, or be happy with 1GB of ram (instead of the 1.5 that I had) until it dies and save the money for an upgrade (my next mac refurb). This thing's 8 years old, so it's time to let it go anyway.
Which motherboard is it? A1278?
Maybe we could take a look on the schematics and fix it. Got any soldering irons?

The model's Powerbook A1106 (I know, really old). I could get a used logic board for less than $50, but there's no telling if the ram slot problem has been fixed on it, so it can only happen again real soon. And I suck at soldering. But hey, it was 2 years old when I got it and I've gotten really good use out of it for 6 years. Getting tired of the PowerPC processor anyway (no software upgrades for it). Time for a newer one, right? Just has to hold up 'til I get a job...

If this last ram slot fails before I do get one though, I might be taking you up on that, OK?
Thanks!

Hi 1st Officer -

Even though you have missed several episodes of As the Vapors Steam - I don't think you've missed anything too important:)

Joanne - you poor thing. Hope you start feeling better.

Cracking me up Wabbit. This is definitely your time of the year.

Back to computer talk all the rest of you:)

Got three 40 foot rows of peas planted. Sugar pd, Snap and Garden peas. Yummy. You can't buy those at the grocery store. You gotta grow them.

Hubby and I went up the hill and got some more free rocks. Only two more trips and I might have enough to be done with phase one of my project.

I'm gonna wish you all a HAPPY EASTER this evening in case I don't get a chance to get online tomorrow. So here it is.....

HAPPY EASTER!!!

After I laugh my way through this thread I'm always in a good mood. I needed it this evening; I had my taxes done this afternoon. A million curses on the IRS. lol

JoAnn, I hope your tests show nothing really wrong. I'll be so worried till we find out, so let us know.....okay?

Lizzie! I made your tobacco recipe with the Asian and with the Marlboro flavors. They're only 6 days old but are really tasting great. The one with Asian tobacco flavor is my favorite so far. After the Asian has steeped for the full 10 days I'll try adding some cupcake to some of it. I think that's what you added to the Asian, I'll double check before I do it.

I wish, but it's not that easy here... unless you are in the hospital on that day, hooked up to iv's and/or several contraptions, you HAVE to report.

Happy Easter.
He is risen. :)

Sent from my tapatalk app.

:thumbs: I have watch a few of this young mans videos . . .

I find what he says very heartfelt and quite interesting, particularly since many people feel the same way . . .

Hopefully they are extremely THOUGHT provoking to many, especially on a day like today . . .

Thank You for posting . . .:D

I was up all night watching the 5 part Mini Series The Bible. Mind you I haven't been in a church since my 4th marriage 24 years ago but without getting bogged down in the religious aspects it was a well told story and I rather enjoyed it. Admittedly there was some stuff that I guess you had to be there to believe, or not for some but I highly recommend anyone who has an interest in the #1 Bestseller ever, give it a look.
Peace

Ok, I'm off to go Rabbit Hunting with the guys, Happy Easter Everyone. :p
