Paging Trash80toG4 ... where is that guy?? Click to expand... Wasn't he working on a G3 upgrade for the 2300? Click to expand... Well, he was researching it at least, readi…

Well then, that's not good. With any luck, it may just be a bad PMU; they were replaceable on those models, unlike the DVIs and later. Or it could be a random logic board failure.…

I tried re-celling mine with AA-sized, tabbed NiMh cells but could not make them fit. The OEM cells were smaller (2/3 AA, I believe you call them), and after a struggle, I located …

beachycove, I'm thinking of recelling the battery in mine too. I've got 48mb of RAM and a 1GB CF, and the machine works perfectly. Such a shame that I can't take it with with me …

Can I put a NuBus processor upgrade in my Dock II for use with my 2300c? / into the Cache/PDS slot Click to expand... Not without some serious dock connector/PDS hacking - even…

no go on that either - still solid amber on the power plug w/ no battery

This is likely an easy fault to fix. Simply remove the bottom case, move the DVDROM drive, and disconnect the PRAM battery (3-wire connector) from the PMU. Reassemble, and the mac…

I have another power brick at home, so I'll try that. The verbage was "If you can get this running, great. If not no big deal..."

if you need parts, I happen to have a TiBook VGA bottom that I can let go for $50 w/ shipping in the USA. All it's missing is the screen and HDD, but if you want, I can ship it ou…

If it's always on "I'm charging!" amber, then it sounds like something might be really wonky with the PMU. Do you have another TiBook that you can try the battery and/or power cord…

Some nubus cards will not work with recent system software, and some (say, the Rocket accelerators) will not work with a ppc processor. That's all I meant. I have a 2300c with CF,…

Actually I did some more reading and found that there arent any CPU upgrades that go straight into the Nubus slot (correct me if I'm wrong) but into the Cache/PDS slot of Nubus pow…

Maybe a sound or video card (in which case compatibility with version of MacOS and ppc becomes an issue), but nothing else.

I had an instructor bring me a Powerbook G4 that won't power up. I tried resetting the PMU and taking the battery out, as well as re-seating the RAM. The charger light in the back…

Can I put a NuBus processor upgrade in my Dock II for use with my 2300c? Is that even possible?

Well I just threw in a 27GB WD on there and it worked without a hitch, even without jumpers! Thanks for the reassurance guys. I tried this before and it didn't work but I found ou…

Yes. The Optical drive will be the master on that bus.

I wasn't I was going to use it as part of server storage. I assume that cable is slave right?

Can you connect a hard drive to the second ata plug on the optical drive cable? Click to expand... I used to on my graphite. Just make sure the jumpers are set correctly. The b…

Can you connect a hard drive to the second ata plug on the optical drive cable?

They're quiet? Quieter then a Gigabit G4? Click to expand... Don't know the Gigabit. But at least on the Sawtooth there's a fan you can disconnect with no trouble unless you ad…

There were three revisions of the Beige G3 ROM: -A (LROG434-01/02), -B (LROG434-02) and -C (LROG434-03), and all with part no 820-0954. There are five subspecies of the Rev. A, but…

No. Just unsuitable for the model. All three Beige G3 machines were specified for 384MB total (max.) of RAM with then-current technology, and the desktop version had also a heigh…

I'm not sure how I'm going to get xpostfacto on the new drive. Is there a way to run two ide drives at once? I think I read somewhere you can't.
