A: No. We can only support the Titanium G4 15" laptop computer. Our new iLite might be of interest to you.

Q: How much power does it drain?
A: In our tests before sleep(LED's kept on), I had about 2:59 mins of battery life, after 9 hrs of sleep(LED's kept on), it reported about 2:57 mins left (This figure depends on how new your powerbook battery is).

Q: What if you have both memory slots filled?
A: Our test model had both memory slots filled, as long you have a 8mm space on top to your memory module, you are fine.

Q: Are only the F and J keys lit?
A: Yes.

Q: Does it need a power supply?
A: No. it uses the power from your powerbook.

Q: Does the two lighted Keys light up the whole keyboard?
A: Unfortunately no. You might be able to see some surrounding keys however.

Q: What's involved in installation, will I need to drill or anything etc.
A: There is no modifications to your powerbook whatsoever. All you would have to do is drop the lights in and plug it in.

Q Do I have to manually lift the keyboard up to turn on/off each time?
A: No. It will automaticaly turn on when your powerbook is on and off when your powerbook is off.

Q: What if I want to keep it off or keep it on?
A: You can adjust it to stay on or stay off.

Q: Can I have the install manual?
A: We are selling a Do-it-yourself manual and a Printed Circuit board.

Q: ... what's the point of the device in the first place....???
A: Try this: right now. Turn off the lights, make a 360 degree turn in front of your computer, then begin typing. I'm sure you have to take a sec to find your index keys again, even if you have to feel for the tiny buttons.

Q: If you can only see some keys around "F" and "J", but not the whole keyboard, then I fail to understand how the unit is useful for typing and using the computer efficiently in the dark....
A: See question above. One of the first thing they teach in typing class is that your index fingers be on the "F" and "J" keys. After that, you know where everything is.

A: Yes.

Q: Is this including the whole keyboard or just the lights?
A: Just the lights.
