According to my research, the G4 Mini requires 10.4. At this point I'm not sure if I'll bother with that or just get linux back on there. Seems that whichever method I choose I'll …

Whack the drive into a PC and run Maxtor's DOS diagnostics. Skip the tests and run the low level formatter which will take about two hours. At the end of it you'll know whether the…

I plugged the power cord into the SE the whole way, completely fine. It would not turn on. I wiggled it. It made electrical sparky noises, and I flipped the power switch on again. …

I might be able to provide a donor Wallstreet, if you're interested. I'm not sure what I have on hand, but I have more than one in various states of nonfunctionality and it would b…

That's a shame - was the plastic around the hinge damaged too? Hopefully you can find a donor WSII/PDQ and transplant a new hinge on. Must have been a hefty fall - these machines…
