- iBook G4 (2005) 12"/1G ram/40G HD/10.5
Hi all.
I have an Ibook G4 12'' (late 2005) I would really like to experience reparing.
A year ago I installed 1 Gb of ram in the slot provided. In later months, I installed a larger hard drive. About 3 months ago
I opened it up to fix the DVD drive which wouldnt always eject a disc. Shortly after the startup it wouldnt recognise the 1Gb extra RAM, then when powering up I noticed a burning smell. It appeared to be a transistor near the extra ram.
The device is an SMD "Q811" (as per photo).
My dad can help me as he has a lab. I need to know is it a transistor or other 3 terminal device. Is it a "PNP" or "NPN".
Is a circuit diagram available or can or will Apple to tell what it is?
Any help with be appreciated.
Regards, peanut_craker
