Culprit Identified
February 17th, 2008 by Kelson. Posted in Humor and tagged for Humor, lolcat, powerbookThe problem with the PowerBook has been confirmed to be the RAM upgrade I put in back in 2004. It hummed along fine for 3½ years, but I guess it finally went bad with the laptop getting so much more use the last few weeks.
Better something modular and easy to get at (well, except for the one stripped screw) than something intrinsic to the machine. Under the circumstances, I’m just having the shop replace it.
Though I guess I should’ve known better than to trust this guy:

Assuming the box continues to pass diagnostics with the new memory, I should be able to pick it up at lunch on Monday.
Update: Success! The computer is back, and working again!

Congrats! Now you’ve got me wondering if the occasional issues I experience with my notebook have anything to do with the extra … gig or half-gig of RAM I added several months, ago.
Anyway, enjoy.
