thats so cool! thats the first time I've ever heard of a G3 iMac being upgraded to a G4. (now I heard of a molar mac, but this is news!)

I'm seeking input on the cure to fix one of the other Macs in our classroom. It's a iMac G5.. not entirely sure of the specifications. It's a video editing computer but has remaine…

Well, I got the second Mac to connect. Didn't have to do anything, actually. I left it in sleep over the weekend with the cord plugged in, logged back in today and it automatically…

Only the early iMacs with the internal expansion port can be fitted with them. Click to expand... Fastmac offers this upgrade for slot-loading models (for $200 8-o ). They ha…

Seems like it has already done the rounds of forums Just found this when searching the serial number: SG0140FLJ7B http://www.macuser.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=299402&hi…

Those G4 upgrades are really hard to find. Only the early iMacs with the internal expansion port can be fitted with them. Finding them unused or freed from the confines of the mach…

Pretty much every desktop Mac from the later Plus to the "beige" G3 should be the same color "Platinum". The earlier Plus and before (including the LISA) should be the brownish-ta…

apple II ftw

Smiley Apple II

Which model PBG3? IIRC, they all used different model battery packs for some of the PBG3s. However, if it's a Lombard or Pismo, they both used the same model PRAM battery. I thi…

The Smiley 950.

Platinumized for your viewing pleasure. Also added a 610/6100, IIci/IIcx. { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previous"…

Yes, it's a Quadra 700. Should they be Platinum? I couldn't tell from the pictures, and my Macs are certainly yellow.

Fans will do that over time. Dust and dirt accumulates on the vanes of the fan and throw it out of balance which stresses the motor and bearings. Keeping them clean will increase t…

A 68882 will work in place of a 68881. They are pin compatible. The 68882 is a more efficient update to the 68881 that is capable of scaling to higher clock speeds. The instruction…

Ok I'll try the steel wool. I tried a pencil eraser but it didn't seem to help. The contacts on one seem to be a bit corroded or damaged so that's probably the issue. Tempest

Couldn't value it at the time so paid the scrap value for the Airport Card, RAM and plastics

That's an unexpected bonus! What was the cost?

Reminds me of that fat german kid on the simpsons after being fed. That might explain why it is so happy.

just something to try ...scuffing the contacts lightly with some fine grit steel wool, works better than pencil eraser on mismatched "settled in" parts, but its dust is highly cond…

Brilliant! I love them! The dual-disk Lisa in particular just looks so incredibly happy to me, not sure why... :lisa:

If these SIMMs are all identical, then at least 1 of the 4 is dirty or bad. Check to see if the numbers on the actual chips match from SIMM to SIMM. If they're different at all, …

Bought a Flower Power iMac G3 that turned out to have a G4 upgrade inside. It started out as a Snow G3 400 but over time has had many parts added/swapped out including the casing …

Yes I found it. When I put the 'bad' set of RAM in I get a normal chime but then nothing happens (the OS never loads). When I stick a good set in the other bank I get the chimes …

and the other 4 appear to be bad (the Mac won't boot with them in), but I assume they're also 1MB sticks. Click to expand... If the RAM is bad, the Mac should make a death chim…
