Ok, problem number one. My Powerbook came with 1.3.7 Panther. When I go to the Apple site to upgrade, it says my serial number isnt correct. I sent an email to tech support, any other ideas on what to do?

Did you order it new from apple.com, and if so what date did you order it? Which model powerbook?

I ordered a 12". 1.5 gigahertz, 512 ram, combo drive, 60 gig hardrive off of apple.com. It was a refurbished model for 1299 USD.

Thanks alot for trying to help btw.

I bet it isn't showing up because it was a refurb and the serial number never got put in the correct pool for Tiger upgrades. Unfortunatley you're going to have to contact Apple to fix this. Good luck.

Thanks everyone. Now about the Powerbook...
If you close the lid and take it out of sleep with an external monitor, how do you turn back on the laptop screen when you want to?
Thanks
