weird ibook problem — #3

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…

Plus Analog Board C1: Will 4 uF work? — #1

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…

Dead Macintosh IIfx — #17

Dead Macintosh IIfx — #16

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

or both, altho CA glue tends to be abit brittle, but i cant think of anything else that would wick its way into the crack as easy

Or you can try filling the crack with cyanoacrylate (aka Krazy Glue/SuperGlue)

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…

Lombard case plastics — #2

The traditional way to prevent cracks from going further is to drill a small hole at the end of the crack. Not flash, but will save the plastic from further cracking. JB

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…

Holy of Holies -- Quadra 840AV! — #17

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…

G4 refuses to boot OS 9.1 CD — #7

Your 9.1 CD is probably a few months older than your G4, and it lacks some driver needed to boot the Mac. Similarly, my new Mini came with Leopard, but it won't boot from a 10.5.0 …
