Ok, I just opened up the iMac (I accidentally cracked some plastic off while lifting off the bottom housing, but don't worry, the iMac still works just as it did before), and had a…

Hi, Ok, in a bit I'll open the iMac and see if there's a dead battery. (Even if it's fine, I'll probably replace it anyway.) Now, you mentioned resetting the PMU. Let me remind…

Hey Guys, Im looking for Lisa / Mac Portable Parts in Australia, I am currently participating in the Retro Challenge, but I'm now in a predicament! The Lisa 2 I have, which is an…

Thanks for the help guys, Don't really have a NEED for DV, at least on this Mac, just curious. I wanted to use leopard because of built in screen sharing as I'm running the mac h…

Man, you are totally right, paws. IGNORE ME! I guess I forgot "Yikes!". Maybe because it's an exclamation? But yeah, since my brain no workie today (I'm moving again and doing int…

Your Sawtooth uses a 66MHz PCI video card (if it has AGP, it's not a Sawtooth) which is markedly slower, regardless of the fact that the two chipsets are virtually identical (both …

Yes it's Leopard's fault all the way. My Dual 450MHz chokes with video in leopard. Tiger, works fine.

Leopard may be part of your issue, as it's more processor-intensive than its predecessors. It's not even officially supposed to run on less than an 867MHz G4, if that's any indicat…

Hello all, Just got a Sawtooth G4 - specs are as follows 500mhz 1GB RAM Leopard 10.5.4 / MacOS 9.1 on the same 120gb drive. stock 16mb rage 128 pro DVI For whatever reason, t…

Ugh. A mobo swap in those is a long process. It is fortunately rather straight forward, and less blood drawing than an 8500. I wish you luck and much patience. TBird

A customer owns a Dual 1.8ghz PowerMac G5 that has issues. He also bought a stripped G5 containing a working mainboard. I get to take the non-functional mainboard from the origin…

Too much! Now I'm running Ubuntu 5 from the LiveCD [] ]'> Trackpad's a little tweaky and it's weird having to remember to use CTRL instead of the Apple key. But I'll sor…

Looks like liquid may have spilled onto the board at one time. I'd also replace that 5 pin IC next to that burned out IC, along with that capacitor between them. I small soldering …

Now it has 9.2.1 on the third partition. Man does this thing fly in the Classic OS. I'm too excited for words. I've run Battery Reset after heebiejeebies put me on to it. I'll …

Well, an update, though not one I'm happy about. I think I may have found the problem. I found a section of the logic board towards the very front, near the front latch, that loo…

It's possible it has a grounding problem because my iBook clamshell did not have the ground wire screwed into the metal shield and I could not get a charge or use the power adapter…

The iBook G4 may have been (relatively) free of the bad GPU issue, but it still had a fairly common issue: cracked solder joints, typically in the power section. There are some web…

I've got an iBook G4 (different iBook than the display plagued one) that has some sort of electrical gremlin going on. It's experiencing a few odd symptoms that have pointed to a …

Yes, it did cross my mind when you joined up. The other macdan is a bit of a Powerbook guru. Click to expand... I'm just some noob that gets lucky.
