The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Apple ibook hdd not detected

Asked by stephenkapple in Apple Laptop, Apple Hardware

Tags: apple, ibook, g3

Dear All - having repaired a number of apple ibook g3's I am coming across the following error on multiple occassions and would be grateful of all assistance.

When installing the hard drive it is not detected - sometimes you hear the hard drive power up but other times nothing.  OS X installer runs but does not detect drive nor is it detected in target disk mode (firewire) mode - yellow symbol appears on screen but nothing on external computer.

The hard drives are apple compatible & are functional when using an external caddy and another mac.  I am confident that I am connecting them correctly - optical drives are recognised & powered.

THANKS
