You can't use a mini VGA --> VGA adapter as this results in washed out colours. Click to expand... Just get a loop through of some sort, that usually stabilizes the vide…

Remember the pinouts posted on bodnar's site are for a completely different model - the ATI-based eMac 800Mhz+. The nVidia-based eMac 700/800Mhz models are different beasts comple…

do what everybody else is doing. Make your own G5 tower case!

I really do want to go for a case that looks... good. :lol: So there's no chance it'll be a classic Mac case. Besides, if I found a 610/660/6100 case I have a 6100 board that nee…

Would it fit in an LC case? Click to expand... The board is probably about the same size as a Macintosh LC board, but there is nowhere near enough room in there for an optical …

hey're marked as "L" on the circuit board, so I assume that's what they are). How often do those things go bad? Do they hiss/whistle? Click to expand... Inductors and transform…

Slimline case, and eMacquarium!

For the slimline case: Pros: *Custom goodness for you to have your way with. *Small form *Easily transportable *Not super heavy *Cooler running Cons: *No more integral disp…

Hack it into a slimline case. The CRT is dodgy and you've already damaged the Airport slot, so use it as an opportunity to build something different. And treat it as a learning exe…

If anyone can recall one of my recent liberations, 2x 700mhz eMac G4's, you will also remember that one of them runs beautifully. The other one does not. The display has a flicker …

1.42ghz eMacs? Not a bad spec at all, my friend. 133mhz frontside bus with DDR memory and a 1.42ghz G4 is by no means a slouch of a system. The eMac that does boot could just need…

I was playing around with the Emac that did boot and the video came on. It boots to the loading screen and stays there. The apple screen with the spinning pinwheel. Left it runn…

See if you can get one working unit. From there see if the problems are related to one specific component. The G3 iMacs commonly bad flyback transformers which would allow the comp…

Reseat your RAM. My iBook wouldn't boot because its ram stick somehow came loose. Usually when RAM is in halfway it will blink the sleep light.

I came across a pile of emacs. They had been tossed off a truck, I picked up a couple of them as I dumped my stuff off. They are 2005 models with 1.42ghz cpu's. . THey are c…

This link sources a few different places you can get it. Also for a few different Apple laptops. I went with Digikey. http://www.jkllamps.com/laptop.cfm VERY inexpensive and th…

So, a few days ago, my PowerBook G4 started acting funny, not wanting to sleep, freezing on waking from sleep, etc. Then finally, it locked up during the boot sequence and never ca…

Where did you get the bulb?

I thought you meant, that the Battery Reset was not written for the Clamshell. Excuse me while I go shoot myself.

That battery reset actually is written for the clamshell as well. But thats the only iBook compatible. Click to expand... I have no idea what you're saying. The OP was talking …

My thoughts exactly. I had Leopard on my dual 450 G4 with 1.12GB of ram and the Radeon 7000, it was alright, but it gets annoying after a while. Leopard seems to chew on hard drive…

Tried it on a G4 450 with PCI Radeon Mac Edition + 1GB RAM. It ran like an absolute dog compared to 10.4. It's not especially fast on my 1.33 Ghz G4 and that's way above the spec…
