I have the DVD to reinstall it

I dont know if I'd mess with it. Definitely swap hard drives to save that current install.

I have found a nice "Power Mac" : there is a Pentium 4 inside, and a BIOS.   It's a Developer Transition Kit from 2005, the first officiel Intel Mac, with Mac OS X 10.4.1.   {…

Let me know if you need a mainboard, I have a ROM 1 I'd be willing to give you for the cost of gas/postage/packing

Now the G5 has a head again... those underlid shots. This thing is spotlessly clean inside! Next one to test will be the IIsi... allegedly has PSU issues. As for the 9600, no …

Well I have another confirmed runner to add to this thread... the IIvx I scored as part of my Canberra haul finally got plugged in and fired straight up with a clean install of 7.5…

So, would this translate to new motherboard time then?

yep thats the page I used.  Its like the only one that pops up when searching yahoo or google.

You might also try looking through this. You might find it useful. c

Thanks Elfen!  Next week I'll have an exam break at university, so I hope I'll have a couple of days to give this little boy some care. Seems like a reasonably easy fix, at least …

This is probably an international analog board, the capacitor references will be different...

Reinstall open transport. It's stand alone installer. It will save you a lot of trouble. Leave the 10 base T switch in and make sure you have a correct cable. Some are straight…

LOL...could try...but no SCSI CD ROM lol

install 8.1 ?  

And I believe it is OpenTransport, I dont think they had MacTCP with System 7.6, i may be wrong though...

Yea...the connection light is on, and the link light is blinking. Just no communication. And, if it helps, I'm using a Faralon Ethernet Tranciever.

I'm assuming its running Open Transport? DHCP isn't supported by MacTCP. My "official" Apple AAUI 10BaseT dongle on my PM6100 is very touchy. I have to wiggle the Ethernet plug in…

Well damn, im running system 7.6 lol

I had heck getting mine to work. 7.5 it played nice with the adapter, 7.5.5 seemed to break it. Finally gave up after a while.

It's possible, they dont look like they have leaked, but it couldnt hurt, any other ideas?

So...I finally got another ADB keyboard and a vga adapter...and as luck would have it...I also got my local surplus store (Astro Too)'s lone AAUI adapter. Tada! I have it all hooke…

There was no result of the initial powerup, but C12, Y1 and D1 were all missing.  The analog board seems to be fine, and (if I'm not misremembering), there was power to both the fl…

128K, 512K, Pluses and SE's rarely need a logic board recap. But they do need work on the analog board. Check for cracked solder connections on harness connectors to the logic boar…

Its salvageable. The 190 needs to be taken apart and and cleaned out first. The case where corrosion is found can be cleaned with  baking soda rub down and rinsed out with water an…
