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…
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 …

Well I finally got the IIfx working. Turns out both of my SuperDrives are bad (not sure if they're fixable) but I had a spare working HD so I was able to get it to boot into Syste…
Shockingly, I'm not going to quote anyone here.
As a relatively recent and relatively uninvolved member of this nice little piece of the internet, my opinion probably means an inf…
