Greetings and Salutations Good Sir! Welcome to the board. It's a great community full of excellent people and a depth of technology know how that has shocked even myself at times.…

Greetings sir.

Genuici= Genius's, I made up a word. :scrambled:

You mightve taken my comment incorrectly. I wasn't laughing at you. I was laughing at the fact Mike was making fun (Well not really) of Apple Geniuci

:lol: :scrambled: Your an Apple Genius?

I tried taking out the battery, reseating the CPU card and everything else again, waiting, pressing the red button, and still nothing. Pressing the power button starts the fans run…

Yeah I am just kidding. |)

Welcome! :beige:

I will definitleyly try that. May be I should scour a 1.42ghz Drive cover so that they do that to this one! Click to expand... I wouldn't recommend doing that purposefully. It…

Before you dare touch a soldering iron again, go down to the local thrift / goodwill / junk shop and pick up the oldest VCR they have and practice until you have a confident method…

Noisy either way, and irritatingly so. When I get around to cleaning the PS, I will also oil the fan or else replace it, and as the drive is dead anyway, I'll install something qu…

Don't solder anything yet. Try asking Apple first. Call 1-800-SOS-APPL or whatever their phone number is. Talk to the first guy, who will probably deny the repair, then ask to spea…

Both my IIfx units have 6 Nubus cards installed, the fan is not that loud (not compared to a 950 anyway). Are you saying it is noisy with the cover off or on?

Cool. I thought about ReCapping it as the other option is throwing out and I would hate to do that to a 1.25ghz emac. Anyways its good practice as I have to do it to my G5 (Leaky …

First of all, stop using the system immediately, Unplug it and remove the board if you have to. If you follow that advice, then you may have a pretty cheap repair job on your hand…

This is well off topic, but is your IIfx really loud? That fan really wants to move a lot of air, doesn't it? Presumably the fan has to be reasonably powerful in order to cool up …

So an eMac at my school has been acting up. I checked the CD Drive cover and it indicated to me that it is a 1.25ghz machine. What the machine does is, Sometimes not wake up from …

Hey you finally joined BTW, I am the one who answered you on MacRumors |) :rambo:

My 2nd IIfx is a mac II with a IIfx upgrade (and IIfx sticker on the bottom of the case). The IIfx upgrade came with a superdrive (since the II was an 800K equipped machine). Very …

thanks for the help

I will, I think, give it a whirl, then, sometime in a month or so. Maybe putting it through a rinse cycle in the dishwasher would do the trick - I can then let the dishwasher take …

Thanks, Franklinstein. I cleaned out the innards and tightened the screws. Everything seems fine now. It was very strange when it was happening, though. I always have Activity Moni…

Connect both boxes to a single hub using the drop cables, make sure the hub is powered up. AppleTalk network should work out of the box. So to TCP/IP, DHCP won't work without a …
