How do you open the little tacker non-destructively? Click to expand... I just pried at the seam with a knife and it cracked open, luckily along the seams. YMMV as they say. T…

get a volt meter and start tracing voltages until it stops Click to expand... Careful there, special high voltage probes may be called for in some areas.

H3NRY, I noticed elsewhere that you've been inside the Cube speaker's amp module and (IIRC) made some mods. How do you open the little tacker non-destructively? And did you ever …

i went out to yard-sales this morning with out any expectations of great finds, but MAN did i SCORE!! 8-o imac g5, 2.0ghz, 1gb ram, original box, brand new keyboard and mouse- $…

No fair! I've always wanted a cube.

The chip inside the Cube's amplifier module is a TriPath TA1101B 20W digital amplifier, so indeed a TriPath amp is a terrific match for these speakers. They are 8 Ohm impedance. T…

Some Macs have hardware memory controller limits - only so many address lines. Many are limited by the boot ROM to a certain ceiling. I think the Classic II is one of these. There …

It's not a SIMM-size limit; it's a limit of the logic board's memory controller. The Color Classic, for example, comes with 4MB RAM soldered onto the logic board, and it has two SI…

I now have five of these little gems; paid less than $50 for each. Great keyboards and very very robust. My latest one was used in a school - it's more beat up than my other ones, …

I am also finally the proud owner of a Lucent WaveLAN silver card and successfully got one of my 1400s online yesterday. Any tips from other 1400 web users re optimizing speed, be…

Just got another Powerbook 1400; this one needs a little TLC. Is the best source of parts still Wegener Media? I need a rear foot/screw, PCMCIA door, cover latch etc. Also, does a…

My Beige G3 is the music server for our house. It sits on the network and runs iTunes with sharing enabled and these: http://soundbridge.roku.com/soundbridge/index.php connect …

As you are probably aware, ASP tells you which ROM is installed: $77D.40F2 revision A $77D.45F1 revision B $77D.45F2 revision C. Somewhere (but which where escapes me) is an (i…

The best way to reset the pram is to disconnect main power, disconnect the PS from the motherboard, remove the pram battery, tap the power button to kill any residual voltage, and …

My beige config is in the signature. Are there any ways to get the freaking dvd player to work on this thing?!?!?!?! I did a mod/hack where you delete the install check file in t…

Hi all, The various threads here about 128MiB 72-pin SIMMs working in certain machines that were never intended to use them got me thinking. What, precisely, about the Classic II …

do you have the latest powerlogix software? Mine lets me go higher than that chip is rated for, so I don't see why it wouldn't do that with a 900 too.

Thought I might post the machine I have the parts, but not the time to build - CPU - 900 MHz Powerlogix CPU - We were going to try to overclock this to 1000 MB- RV 2 I believe. I…

This program and driver allow custom resolutions using built-in video on a PowerMac 7300, 7500, 7600, 8500, and 8600. I have used it to get perfect 1920x1080 on an LCD for over a m…

somebody already laid claim to it, but I do have another B&W G3 with similiar specs and I wasn't 100% on if he wants the monitor or not. So depending on that you could take…

What could I do to diagnose the problem? Click to expand... get a volt meter and start tracing voltages until it stops

When I switch on absolutely nothing happens, no sign of anything working. That's why I checked that the mains voltage could be seen on the inside of the switch. Hence the word 'co…

Take the VRM (DC-DC board) out and clean the contacts. While it's out, look for evidence of overheating. If anything looks scorched, you probably should replace it. Check the rest …

The spin up/spin down issues you are experiencing suggest a flaky DC board; check the CubeOwner forums for more information on this. While you're at it, check the PRAM battery and…
