Hm. I'll have to give that a try then. But I hope you'll forgive me if I try wally's method and the open firmware one first Did you do this on lithium batteries, or the "Inte…

I have another G5 that just sits in my bedroom collecting dust - a Dual Core 2.3 GHz model with PCI Express, that I got for $150 - it freezes up about 10 minutes after you use it, …

Luckily you've got that macbookpro, and USB/SATA adapters so you c an get your data off of the G5 are not that expensive.

While I hope that your cheerful optimism proves out, it may turn out that the burned resistors are a symptom, not a cause. Resistors are pretty hardy, and not generally given to sp…

Is this a model with a known failure rate for flybacks? And if so, was that the exact same, badly designed original flyback that you replaced it with? Click to expand... Yep f…

I've just installed it. No registering reminder and no WEP problems. Maybe it's been opened up with the latest download? My 20 meg storage card turned up today, works like a cha…

Hey I had a B&W 17" with the exact same problem a couple years ago. I tossed it, figuring it was unfixable. It was by me. But I guess not by everyone. Too bad, I guess.

I wish that the driver was totally free and WEP worked no matter. Also, that little slip that comes up every time I soft reset telling me to register gets annoying. WPA would be n…

My Power Mac G5's power supply failed. One of the brown pillow-shaped resistors started burning up as I was using it. The one next to it burned a little bit as well. It looks like…

Yes that is exactly the problem I had. From what I understand it is a common problem with those displays.

I had a B&W 17" Apple CRT display that had a failing flyback. I bought a new flyback off eBay for about $20 and it took me about an afternoon to install it. Of course th…

I've never opened up an AIO, so I am unsure of its specific anatomy. But based on my experience with many color TVs and monitors, here are some hints: First, identify where the ar…

I have over 20 AIO G3s, maybe 25. At least 5 arc, probably more. By arc I mean that every several seconds the screen pops violently and you can hear an arc going on somewhere in th…

Well, should you want to try the shorting trick be sure to check for very low energy on those terminals first, we do not know that all packs will be in a safe cooperative state! M…

It's great to hear that you got it to work that way, Wally. Very interesting! I'll have to give your method a try (and maybe the "short + and -" method, too) the next time I have …

Finally got my MP 2000 online using a Lucent WaveLAN silver card. 3 hours it took me to work out the settings! Kudos to the Japanese guy for writing the drivers. Click to expa…

Ah yes, it may be null modem. But the way I have the Apple II set up, I have a 25 pin male to 9 pin female serial cable off another older external modem, so if this is a "null mode…

Just remembered (cleaning up the other day) I think I've a Diamond 56K external modem at my parents with the right mac serial --> DB9 connector; will report back soon JB

Any ideas? Click to expand... You may be inadvertently using a null-modem, or may need to use a null-modem to swap the TX/RX wires over. Years ago there was a common little th…
