Via a local kijiji seller: a 400MHz G4 AGP Graphics with 1GB RAM and a nice, quiet 20GB hard drive. It was filthy (smoker and dust) so it was disassembled and washed and is drying …

There were a handful of external monitor adapters for the SE but they were nothing like the ones made for the SE/30. One was by Radius for use with their portrait monitor. There wa…

never mind.........the someone changed the jumper setting to slave (I blame the computer gremlins) :lol: I can now breathe normally Click to expand... I LOVE your avatar! …

Do not remove the band -- there's no non-destructive way to do it, and no real non-destructive way to reuse it, unfortunately.

Does your replacement CRT lack a band or something? Click to expand... I don't have a replacement CRT but I want to save the frame and attaching band in case I find one that do…

today i went to start up my powermac G4 and it didn't boot, so i zapped the pram and tried again...no dice. so took it out of my computer and put it in my B&W G3 and it did…

You're right, a 6200 needs OS 10.4.3 or later. If yours works like mine, OS9 will give you 256 colors at the native display resolution, no choice. I have a 6200 in my Cube, and it'…

Does your replacement CRT lack a band or something?

I have a GF6200 256MB AGP in my Digital Audio. It will not work with my 10.4.0 disc (it is said that you need 10.4.3 IIRC) but works fine in the mid to later 10.4s and 10.5. In OS…

Yes, the G4 Cube is 2X AGP at 100 MHz. I tried a couple of times to flash a PCI 6200 card for my B&W with Sonnet G4 500MHz. Both times, the card worked in the PC, flashed n…

All I can say after watching this thread is that I hope I never have to remove a crt from any of my compact macs. Learned a lot though! Thanks guys.

Going down the list looking at the different models and their conditions I don't think that lot is worth dropping $350 on even if you lived next door to him. You've got 5 MDD's the…

dont know about the band, and as far as the vacuum you can safely release it through the little spout it was formed with maybe someone can chime in on how to actually do it, becau…

I got the yoke off now (it just needed a little twist once the screws were loosened to break the grip of the glue). The only thing I need to get off now is the metal band around th…

Look up: Richard Martin Belleville, MI 48111 on LEMswap, he has tons of working g4 macs in lots cheap, pickup only if you are in that area.

If so, have a look at this: http://cgi.ebay.com/LOT-OF-10-POWERMAC-G4-COMPUTERS-MIXED-LOT-LQQK_W0QQitemZ110481109021QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item19b92ff01d#ht_334…

its glued on but removable, its glued on cause depending on how its twisted it will effect the orientation of the screen, once in the right place, plop

Ok, one other thing. Can I remove the yoke from around the long end of the tube and save it for parts or is it permanently attached? There are places where it looks there are dollo…

I usually use an insulated pair of pliers to remove my anode caps (the correct term for the "suction cup") from CRTs. I carefully use the pliers to pinch one of the two pincers inw…

Well I got it and had to open it up to see the upgrade board and it was in there, but it wasn't plugged in to the expansion slot! I also accidentally snapped the tail end off of th…

Hah, since when does the US Government (specifically the DOD) need a particularly good reason for anything? Here's a longish excerpt from an article written by a forensic data rec…

you can disconnect it from the crt, not sure about the board there's a pair of pincers in that suction cup that keep it in place, feel around the rubber, you should be able to fig…

No pic. I snapped the end off with the prongs that connects to the video board. The CRT is useless now. I just need to disconnect that red wire so I can throw it out.

Could you post a pic? Your description is a bit confusing. The yoke is not connected to the suction-cup thingumabob. Rather, it's the assembly that surrounds the neck of the crt (h…
