Well, I got the second Mac to connect. Didn't have to do anything, actually. I left it in sleep over the weekend with the cord plugged in, logged back in today and it automatically…

Only the early iMacs with the internal expansion port can be fitted with them. Click to expand... Fastmac offers this upgrade for slot-loading models (for $200 8-o ). They ha…

Seems like it has already done the rounds of forums Just found this when searching the serial number: SG0140FLJ7B http://www.macuser.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=299402&hi…

Those G4 upgrades are really hard to find. Only the early iMacs with the internal expansion port can be fitted with them. Finding them unused or freed from the confines of the mach…

Perhaps if people could easily edit their posts they could tidy up some of their quotes? Click to expand... I'm feeling a distinct sense of déja vu... Anyway, for those who ar…

Which model PBG3? IIRC, they all used different model battery packs for some of the PBG3s. However, if it's a Lombard or Pismo, they both used the same model PRAM battery. I thi…

I just reinstalled the 4 Sonnet sticks that came in the 9600 and split the pile of FPM ram between the 9500 and the 8600/200 and at this point all is well. It wasn't worth the tro…

Fans will do that over time. Dust and dirt accumulates on the vanes of the fan and throw it out of balance which stresses the motor and bearings. Keeping them clean will increase t…

i dont think it has anything to do with editing, people are just too lazy to read the thread unless its photocopied every single response

Ok I'll try the steel wool. I tried a pencil eraser but it didn't seem to help. The contacts on one seem to be a bit corroded or damaged so that's probably the issue. Tempest

removal of the quote button *rollseyes* Perhaps if people could easily edit their posts they could tidy up some of their quotes?

Couldn't value it at the time so paid the scrap value for the Airport Card, RAM and plastics

That's an unexpected bonus! What was the cost?

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…

Yes but if we all PMed you about the same thing, wouldn't that get even more annoying then just blocks of quotes?

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 …

and the other 4 appear to be bad (the Mac won't boot with them in), but I assume they're also 1MB sticks. Click to expand... If the RAM is bad, the Mac should make a death chim…

how is someone supposed to easily follow the flow of the conversation? Click to expand... By reading it? Exhibit A: fail. Exhibit B: fail. To spell it out for the hard of le…

What is the voltage supposed to be? I am reading 3.06v and 3.04v.

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…

Having the exact same post made by 10 different people and all of them being responded to with basically the same reply adds to the clutter more than one big post containing an ent…
