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…
I always thought that this was a pretty neat vector animation program for the Apple II. What do you think would happen if it went on and was still around today instead of Flash? He…
Thanks for that, Wally.
Your mentioning tape gave me an idea, attach a peices of tape to the outside end of the card, leaving tabs big enough to grasp so the card can be pulled if…
Glad you got it out ok. I've seen this before: there is a mode where the eject mechanism does not seem to get cocked fully when the card goes in, so none of the usual ways does an…
I got the card out.
Turns out the eject mechanism for the lower bay doesn't work for reasons unknown, the card came out with no resistance.
The upper bay eject works fine, howeve…
Spewing.
Got given some PC stuff a couple of days ago, and in amongst it there was a PC card ethernet adapter, I was quite excited, Mum was mad that I had yet more junk, so in an …
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.

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…
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 …
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 …
I'd go with a firmware update. Its unlikely that OS X would have anything to do with it - despite the fact that I primarily run my iMac under Mac OS X, it will quite happily boot o…

question: what OS are you running? what about you d-link? is it set to work with 802.11b? or is is a/g only? A lot of times, a poorly configured router can cause it not to be p…
Before you give up, check the simple things: Is the card securely seated? Is the antenna connector actually plugged into the card? I've run into several cases where the connector w…

Good news: I got a hold of ROM 2.5.1, on an installation CD for a G4 system. [] ]'>
Bad news: The CD won't boot my G4! [xx(] ]'>
According to the system profile…
