I hopefully can keep my G5 for a long time, I Love the design.... simplistic and tough... I recieved my Mac Mini from Ebay Mini 2009 model and it seems that my G5 is just as fast,…

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. |)

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 …

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 …

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…

I have hosed off old AT power supplies with hot water (and a little liquid soap) before. As long as you let them dry out (few days to a week depending on local humidity) for a whil…

I have retrieved monitors (high voltage components) and power supplies after a thorough soaking in Mother Nature's distilled water from the sky. As long as they are well dried, I …

My recently-acquired IIfx (with Mac II top cover) came to me in an excessively grimy condition. Oddly enough, because it cleaned up so well, the layer of dirt may have actually pre…

Thats one ugly mofo.

a fast G4 upgrade Click to expand... Yeah, good luck with that. I've been trying to find a good price on one of these upgrades for months, with no luck at all. They regularly f…
