So, I am still chicken about doing the VGA mod to my Color Classic. But I am OK doing the software mod that will let me put a over clocked 575 logic board in my Color Classic.
So…

Point well taken. I restore old vacuum tube motion picture amplifiers for a hobby 1930s-1950s equipment. I keep them all original. I would prefer to drop in a …

Both are also quite rare (fewer than 150,000 Cubes ever made)...I'm not going to lie; not the biggest fan of FrankenMac-ing the rare ones at this point.

3) I think the Trinitron tubes had a unique curve to them, so even if you find a 10" CRT, if it ain't a Sony it may still not fit the bezel perfectly (and yet s…
You dont have a 5500/6500 laying around do you?
Click to expand...
I agree, those are pretty cheap are not really sought after, will try at least for testing purposes.
If all else fails, sourcing a 6500/300 board, desoldering various connectors to make it fit, etc, would be a good project. The baking sode mixture sounds like a bad idea IMO, and …
Second vote for the G4-mini and 10" VGA tube (if you can find it). But if you're going to bother making it more modern, why go half way? Drop a brand new Mac mini in there, or bet…
Somebody done that before (http://www.mac512.com/ccpmg4.htm), back when G4 cube was the smallest Mac available on the market.
However, given that the Cube is such iconic and clas…
Has anyone ever used an LED display for a personal computer display?
Anyway, yes the chipset supports it. Just not sure if the Cube with OS X will. Best bet is to simply try.

I hate LED displays too. But I prefer LED backlit displays...
Anyway. The chipset supports 640x480. Just not sure if the cube itself will. I suspect it would though.
Hi folks...
Looking around on ebay, I saw a inexpensive smaller Mac called a Power Mac G4 Cube. It has no monitor. I would only be interested in a mod using this if I could some…
thinking and googleing about it, im going to take out the board and cover the acid damaged area with 3to1 baking soda mixture to kill any remaining acid. let it soak into it for a…
If thats the RAGE IC, thats why your video is scrambled.
those traces I pointed out, there are some opens.
You need to go over all of the traces that show "discoloration" wiht …

techknight - good call. Will have a look at them tomorrow. Just a continuity test between 2 via's on a single trace - will do

0.1uf - that's great to know - will install new on…
have had no chime to date..........just strange sounds, clicks, noise, static...when floppy inserted noise matches the floppys activity

Hey falen:
Take a look at my photo. I circled areas that need tested for continuity checks. Especially the ones in the bottom corner coming from that IC.
Also the capacitor is …
