Hi, Hmm. It won't let me reset the PRAM. Back to the chalkboard. In fact, nothing happens. Every time I reset the PRAM, I have always been holding them down before powering on, and it has always worked. I've tried it ten times now. #Fail# I suppose that is out of the question right now doing t

Hi, Yeah, I'll definitely give that one I shot. I thought I recognized it from something you had to do on occasion with ThinkPad. Again, thanks. I'll let you know. Regards, Nic Mobile Me: nic2...@me.com Skype: Kvalme MSN Messenger: nico...@home3.gvdnet.dk AIM: cincinster yahoo Messenger: cin368

Hi Nic, I've never used resetting the PRAM to fix a USB port issue before on a Mac -- only used it for audio sound repairs. However, the part about removing a battery and holding down the power button with the battery out (to discharge the capacitor) is something I've had to do before wi

Hi Esther, Thank you. I'll try this. Resetting the PRAM has been tried before, but I'm supposing holding down the power button when battery is removed is some sort of cycle? I'll add it to resetting the PRAM again and let you know how it works out. Regards, Nic Mobile Me: nic2...@me.com Skype:

Hi Nic, I'll cc this to the viphone list, since the last part of this post is about USB power usage and charging for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. I'm not sure I qualify with respect to knowing a lot about hardware, USB devices, and electricity, but I'll try to answer your question, al

Hi, I'd like to think that was the issue, if I haven't used SNow Leopard with it just fine as well. The thing that makes it look odd as well is that I can use it for some time when I haven't used it in a while. DOing all kinds of stuff with the wire would usually show where the broken part is,

I had the same issue for a long time. If your headset is old, it's likely the drivers are not working well with your system. Simple solution, get a new headset. On 6 May 2010, at 22:37, Nicolai Svendsen wrote: > Hi guys, > > So, I'm looking for someone here who knows a lot about hardware, spe

Hi guys, So, I'm looking for someone here who knows a lot about hardware, specifically on the Mac-side and someone who knows a lot in particular about USB-devices. Oh, and electricity, perhaps. Here's the deal. I've got a Skype Wireless Freetalk Headset, the old model. I've been using it for
