Just so you know, it's been said that the Q840av will take 128 Meg SIMMs, giving you 512 mega total. Give it a try, and let us know...

I have a 2hr battery, so do not need a replacement just now. 2 years from now, maybe. This latest post was made purely with a view to the possibility of experimentation on a dead b…

Enjoy.

You are better off redoing them all at once (not that many to do). Hopefully none of the other onces leak and kill the motherboard.

Have you looked into professional places like www.batteryrebuild.com to rebuild your old batteries? You can have major problems trying it on your own.

Yes there where dual clones.. I think its was a Daystar and or UMAX.

Did you say you got a G3 card in the machine. That takes a peice of software to run and if the HD is messed up nothings going to happen. Click to expand... Software for process…

This evening I read with some surprise that the cousin of the 2400c, the 3400c, can use and charge the battery from a PB 190/ 5300, which is, of course, a NiMh battery rather than …

Thanks JRL. I took your advice and did the alcohol wash and pram battery replacement. I was able, with the help of a friend, to locate a cap with the value I needed. I didn't…

Nice score - welcome to the club! Can't say I've ever heard of an 840AV that didn't come with a CD drive, unless the blanking plate is wrong. I picked up a very sick 840AV a coup…

Sorry, I'm a little excited. This machine has been my Eleanor for many years. I've wanted one ever since I was a wide-eyed teenager staring at one in the display window at Micro Ce…

I sold my emac to a friend for 90buckss he had been wanting a mac, but doesn't really have the money so I sold him the emac hes just going to pay me a little with each paycheck, bu…

When using modern disks with built-in active termination, you can usually ignore Apple's termination advice for the IIfx. Active termination provides similar functionality to Apple…

A full cap replacement (as well as a good rubbing alcohol scrub where the battery leaked and a new battery as well) should do the trick. In turn, the SE FDHD will last for a very l…

I've got an old SE FDHD with a problem. I had set it up for my 10 yr old nephew with system 6.0.8 and a copy of MOTU Performer 2.2 to get him started with keyboards and midi. It wa…

I think when Macs shifted to the "New World" ROM-in-RAM, support for machines newer than the OS - i.e. 9.1 on later model G4s - was provided by new Mac OS ROM files. So Trash is ba…

Have you bothered to replace the CPU card with another 604/e/ev to see if it's the CPU Card? Click to expand... No, because I don't have another CPU card. This 9500 came from f…

Did you say you got a G3 card in the machine. Click to expand... No. My machine, as far as I know, has the stock 604 @ 200 MHz processor card. Click to expand... as far as …

I have to agree with some of the others. As soon as a drive starts doing "iffy" stuff such as screwing either with smart status, or showing "Failed" then going back to "Verified" …

OS 9 came out before that PowerMac though. So it's possible that the G4 either has a specially compiled version of the Finder/System, or there is an enabler (going back to the old…

Confirmed: Bad RAM.

Running OS X 10.4.11 for now, haven't got around to installing OS 9. Downside of using OS 9 is that my wi-fi network is inaccessible since I use WPA security. I'll find a work-arou…
