Mac Forum / General / Hardware / March 2008Question about Pismo display
I just got back the Pismo my daughter has been using for four years. The display has a bit of "play"; that is, over a small angle, it has no resistance to being pushed back and forth from wherever it is positioned. If it is pushed further, it moves "with resistance" and then stays in the new position, but with that same play. Now the problem is, I just don't remember whether it was always that way, or whether the "looseness" developed while she was using it. Should a Pismo have that play, or should it be tight? If something is loose (screws, I suppose), what should I take apart to fix it, the base unit, or the display. Isaac > I just got back the Pismo my daughter has been using for four years.

It is a wellknown problem with both Lombard and Pismo that the hinges will loosen through the years. And 'cause the hinges is a friction type, there are no screws to fasten.... You can probably buy a pair of new hinges in an Apple tech shop and exchange the old ones with the new set. But to do this yourself, you need the Apple Service Manual for the Pismo/Lombard series. If you don't have this manual, you can mail me off-list, and I'll send you all the Pismo service manuals that I have in PDF format. Of course you also can take it to a local Apple tech store, but i guess thaat will cost more than the Pismo is worth, - though the Pismo infact is one of the best of the PBs of that time. - I had one myself for some years, at the time I had my samll service business to use when I went out to clients. - Great if you had to copy data before fx. reformatting another harddisk in a computer.... If you want the manuals, use this address <mac-manNOSP@Mstofanet.dk> - remove capitals to activate. cheers, Erik Richard  Signature~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rgds.
