Hey falen:  Take a look at my photo. I circled areas that need tested for continuity checks. Especially the ones in the bottom corner coming from that IC.  Also the capacitor is …

10.4 and 10.5 won't be amazing on it since that GPU doesn't support CoreImage and it's capped at 1GB ram, but it would probably be a fairly good challenge.

Would a Titanium PowerBook G4 work? 867 MHz/1 GHz. Can boot every Mac OS from 9 to 10.5!

With the battery pulled, I can get 2-10 seconds between the chime and the light coming on on my TAM. 

Question. You mentioned the light comes on. Do you get a startup chime? After pressing power, how long until it comes on? I just noticed that my light comes on but not right awa…

You dont have a 5500/6500 laying around do you?

Mine is the same brand. I think all the black boxed batteries in Macs are Rayovac. One cap maybe could. Until ruled out, hard to say if its the issue or now. You could try to trac…

Really, PPC wasn't dumped after 10.5 because it was incapable, but because Apple wanted to push forward, and as much as it hurts, Snow Leopard would not have turned out as well as …

I need the 70ns version of what you posted the link to.  This will allow me to run a faster processor - I am changing out the crystal on the 575 as well. Maybe they have some?  I …

Heres a few pictures people of the battery that leaked all over this TAM - I opened it up and you can clearly see the acid.... its all over the place. My fingers were covered wit…

The stomping of the various YT frontends was a direct result of the API changeover, yes... a month ago, they all still worked. I hate Youtube a whole lot, not gonna lie. But anywa…

hey unity - thanks for the helpful info. again I agree with all you say. Im thinking of removing c118, measuring its value, finding something similar , and as you said glue it in…

Okay, I will dig into it a bit. I emailed him. I certainly could have missed that model variation in my searches. With so many regulatory tags its hard to tell.

TFF plays YT in HTML5. Not amazing but it plays. Well, audio plays. Video is about 5FPS. That's on an anemic 867MHz 12" PowerBook though.

e-mail Eric Rasmussen on his site. There's nothing on that site he hasn't personally confirmed himself. From your initial list you are not accounting for the 240V Plus. This is it.

I am not well versed on checking stuff on boards, but if you need me to check anything else I am more than willing to do so.

C113 is indeed populated. Its ceramic, like others, so I can not say the value. Apple seems to stick to a common group though on boards.  So it may be like others such as C118. It …

cheers unity - appreciate it. I know nothing of the tam, its upgrades......I don't even know what cpu is in this thing. - ment to say...the pictures I posted above... the missing…

With the latest PPC Flash player (modified to report the latest version number of its Intel counterpart) and TenFourFox, my 1.33 GHz 12" PBG4 running Leopard was quite competent, i…

Some info on the ROM slot. http://appletam.ning.com/forum/topics/rom-slot-on-tam Also I will go check mine, C113 may not be populated. Also I wonder if a L2 cache is needed to b…

have to agree with you unity. When I began removing the caps there was plenty of electrolyte coming out of them. And after the full recap the machine was exactly the same it made …

I did quickly check your caps. Polarity seems good. I wish you had another board to test in it.

I can find no reason for that ROM to be in there. As far as I know, its not needed for the upgrade card. So keep it as basic as you can to see if you can get it going. By the way,…

hey unity. Why would that rom of been in it anyway. It will only show a display with one ram simm installed and nothing else. Will try the 2 rams but cant see it making any differe…

Do not install that ROM or upgrade processor card.
