This article describes the new key sequence used to reset the computer.
DISCUSSION The Macintosh PowerBook G3 Series has a new key sequence to reset the system: Shift-Fn (function)- Ctrl (control)-Power. This sequence is also printed on the back I/O panel of the PowerBook. The first three keys are located in the lower left hand corner of the keyboard. The power button is just above the F9 and F10 keys. This key sequence is the equivalent to a hardware reset button and will reset the Power Management Unit and the PRAM (parameter RAM). Note: Macintosh PowerBook G3 Series computers should not be confused with Macintosh PowerBook G3 computers. Though the names are similar, there are significant differences. To visually identify which type of computer you have, close the display and inspect the display case. A Macintosh PowerBook G3 has a small, six-color Apple logo on the display case. A Macintosh PowerBook G3 Series computer has a large Apple logo on the display case that is not six-colored. |
