hahaha, thank you. i knew about this, even read the article, but - for some reason - thought only g3 ibooks are affected. well, i guess it's time to open her up again - this tim…

Some people say the iBook G4 has the "video chip coming loose from the PC board" issue. There is also a pin that comes unsoldered on a voltage regulator chip. The latter is fixable…

My poor Plus just had its second Analog Board die, most likely C1, as I have the vertical line down the middle of the screen. As I inspect the previous Analog Board I had in it, C…

The Macintosh IIfx relies on both batteries to start up unfortunately.
Mike Richardson (forum member here) sells them for cheap though and ships internationally.
Check out his …

Dunno if this requires a new thread. But I've bought a Dayna E/II-T DaynaPort Nubus card. It says no errors. EtherTalk looks to work. I have Mac OS 6.0.8 with MacTCP. But I can't s…
Lombard case plastics — #4

Holy of Holies -- Quadra 840AV! — #21
ISTR that you shouldn't mix EDO and FPM RAM in one machine: can't recall if that's "no boot" bad, or "escaping magic smoke" bad.
Holy of Holies -- Quadra 840AV! — #20
I did get it, and it looks great. Not a lot of yellowing, either. Shipped in an original Power Mac 8100/80 box with styrofoam. Kinda neat to have that, too. The floppy drive bezel …
Holy of Holies -- Quadra 840AV! — #19
So did you get the 840AV - hows it look?
I'm pretty sure I've a 32MB EDO SIMM in my 840AV - it won't hurt - give it a shot - but ideally you should go for FPM. ECC EDO RAM def…

Holy of Holies -- Quadra 840AV! — #18
Well I got a bunch of memory on craigslist the other day for REALLY cheap. Guaranteed to work or my money back. They're 72pin 60ns SIMMs, but they're EDO, and I wanted to make sure…

As far as I know, the memory check can't be turned off in the Memory Control Panel on a Quadra. I seem to recall that it requires a PPC and MacOS8 — possibly 8.5 or 8.6. It require…
