Conquest: Blue G3 — #1

My friend just gave me a G3 they had at his printing company that was going to be thrown out. It's not too dusty in side, although I haven't booted it yet. There's no hard drive an…

New Logic Board, missing GPU heat sink — #1

I use my pismo extensively. It started shutting off randomly, and I narrowed it down to the logic board by swapping parts with another Pismo. I ordered a new logic board on eBay …

1400 keyboard connector pinout? — #10

I'm not sure about more time to work on it, but it will definitely be of good use to fix up a gutted bottom case of a 1400cs that is sitting around with a few extra parts for my pi…

1400 keyboard connector pinout? — #9

Yeah, tried resetting the power manager. No help. It has now gotten to the point where it's not worth my time. I'd rather send it off to someone with more time to work on it; or…

Have you tried resetting the Power Manager? :?: The power-on-off behavior you describe doesn't sound like it's necessarily keyboard related. There's next to nothing that could g…

1400 keyboard connector pinout? — #6

IIRC, the 1400 uses a plastic hook that pushes a switch inside the bottom case to sense lid closure, rather than a magnet and reed. Try poking something non-conductive in the hole…

Boxed Quadra 605 and 14" Apple CRT! — #12

Well, it was literally just the computer in the box. I was kinda disappointed. Oh well. The new RAM I bought also works in the Quadra. I'll keep a lookout on eBay for an acce…

1400 keyboard connector pinout? — #4

Have you looked at the switch that tells the Mac when the lid is closed? That's often a reed switch and magnet. Reed switches have a tendency over time to get "sticky", and your 14…

Mylar Capacitors — #3

A 470 uF mylar would be huge! Going up a step in voltage won't hurt, and may offer a bit better reliability, but the temperature rating is a better measure of how long they last. I…

Pismo mystery — #2

Dead logic board battery? PRAM needing reset? Hard drive(s) could be of an ATA standard that isn't supported? Maybe the controller for all the drives went dead? All the above? …

Can 8500 do 8 — #4

The 8500 Shipped with OS 7.5.x. I don't recoomend 7.5.2 but anything 7.5.5 or later (7.6.1 and 8.1 are perfect for a stock 8500) will do nicely. On G3 equipped 8500 I go for OS 9.1…
