Gets reset few times a week — #3

43690 hours = 2621440 minutes. That makes me guess that somewhere in the PRAM is 18 bits for the total uptime count, which gets incremented every 10 minutes.

G4 Gigabit 400, 533 dual? — #2

Capacitor replacement on iMac G5 — #11

I did a cap replacement on a 1.8ghz G5 iMac, but it only lasted another 6 months and the smoke got out. I think the PSU might have been bad, causing the caps to go in the first pla…

running without a fan- Mac SE FDHD — #19
