Well, I've finally got the right-sized piccies for the different DeclROMs in question: Duo MiniDock: socketed 32 pin PLCC DeclROM DuoDock: SMT 32 pin _________ DeclRom Duo…

Dual 1.8 GHz Power Mac G5 purchased new - April 2004 IIRC. Upgraded to 1.5 GiB and OS 10.5, still going strong. I hope to upgrade to a Mini next spring/summer, but that may not ha…

the reason why Apple didn't keep going with the G5... There are 6 parts to it... in the end it's Jobs that said "Apple And Microsoft need each other"

I think the main problem with PowerPC is that the G4 was stuck at around 1.6 GHz, and the G5 was just too hot and power hungry to ever put into a laptop.

I hopefully can keep my G5 for a long time, I Love the design.... simplistic and tough... I recieved my Mac Mini from Ebay Mini 2009 model and it seems that my G5 is just as fast,…

Genuici= Genius's, I made up a word. :scrambled:

You mightve taken my comment incorrectly. I wasn't laughing at you. I was laughing at the fact Mike was making fun (Well not really) of Apple Geniuci

:lol: :scrambled: Your an Apple Genius?

I tried taking out the battery, reseating the CPU card and everything else again, waiting, pressing the red button, and still nothing. Pressing the power button starts the fans run…

Yeah I am just kidding. |)

I will definitleyly try that. May be I should scour a 1.42ghz Drive cover so that they do that to this one! Click to expand... I wouldn't recommend doing that purposefully. It…

Before you dare touch a soldering iron again, go down to the local thrift / goodwill / junk shop and pick up the oldest VCR they have and practice until you have a confident method…

Noisy either way, and irritatingly so. When I get around to cleaning the PS, I will also oil the fan or else replace it, and as the drive is dead anyway, I'll install something qu…

Don't solder anything yet. Try asking Apple first. Call 1-800-SOS-APPL or whatever their phone number is. Talk to the first guy, who will probably deny the repair, then ask to spea…

Both my IIfx units have 6 Nubus cards installed, the fan is not that loud (not compared to a 950 anyway). Are you saying it is noisy with the cover off or on?

Cool. I thought about ReCapping it as the other option is throwing out and I would hate to do that to a 1.25ghz emac. Anyways its good practice as I have to do it to my G5 (Leaky …

First of all, stop using the system immediately, Unplug it and remove the board if you have to. If you follow that advice, then you may have a pretty cheap repair job on your hand…

This is well off topic, but is your IIfx really loud? That fan really wants to move a lot of air, doesn't it? Presumably the fan has to be reasonably powerful in order to cool up …

So an eMac at my school has been acting up. I checked the CD Drive cover and it indicated to me that it is a 1.25ghz machine. What the machine does is, Sometimes not wake up from …

My 2nd IIfx is a mac II with a IIfx upgrade (and IIfx sticker on the bottom of the case). The IIfx upgrade came with a superdrive (since the II was an 800K equipped machine). Very …

I will, I think, give it a whirl, then, sometime in a month or so. Maybe putting it through a rinse cycle in the dishwasher would do the trick - I can then let the dishwasher take …

Thanks, Franklinstein. I cleaned out the innards and tightened the screws. Everything seems fine now. It was very strange when it was happening, though. I always have Activity Moni…

I have hosed off old AT power supplies with hot water (and a little liquid soap) before. As long as you let them dry out (few days to a week depending on local humidity) for a whil…
