system on -----> 9 and panther preview
the pismo has worked fine for years, but yesterday a little problem.. ethernet was not working (panther was on)
start up with sys 9.. , ok the ethernet so i started to copy a file from my homelan
after some minutes the mac freezed, all was on, monitor on but freezed
i forced the restart
nothing.; no boing, just some hd noise and the green led on keyboard
(i have to say that the powerbook was loosing date very fast since some months)...
i cheked ram..changed but ram was ok .. the powerbook after taking of and on the processor to chek the ram , started again 4 or 5 times but turning off after some minutes.by itself; during that time all seem to be working fine (just slow at =the beginning) ( i havev copied some important files)
can you help me..? what can be the problem..?

Most likely it is the processor. It could be the logic board as well, but the symptoms you describe are classic processor failure. We sell the processor at our online store...upgrades too. You can also send the unit in to us and we'll repair it for you. Email us at support@powerbookmedic.com.

A small amount of chips just go bad after a while. There is nothing really that can be done to prevent it.
