You don't need to remove the CRT. From the manual 1. Disconnect the short speaker cable next to the speaker. 2. Note: If you are certain a speaker is faulty, the easiest re…

I believe you have to remove the crt. But I could be wrong.

Also, I'd just like to say whoever thought it was a brilliant idea to put so much plastic in the *internal* chasis out to be drug out into the street and shot. This stuff gets VERY…

Okay, I'm stumped on this one. I've torn apart my 350Mhz Idigo because I plan on robbing it for parts in case my 500, or another machine I'm hoping to get, goes down (hopefully not…

If its any indication, I got 7 years from the 8x TEAC drive that came with my 1400 (which I've had since new). And my iMac's original Panasonic CD-ROM drive (which is a notebook un…

Although it is likely that the little notebook drives are indeed more fragile than their desktop counterparts, it does not necessarily follow that notebook drives are all destined …

^^^ ECC is not your friend in a Mac; I've had no luck with it in any model. Which is too bad, since I have a stack of the stuff.

Slot load drives, no matter what brand, will still break under heavy usage, especially if often used for writing discs. You don't have much choice with your PowerBook, but normally…

Double-sided RAM cards should pose no problem, as that implies low-density chips as the CRT iMacs need, The specification, which you may not have if you were not aware that you ne…

Never had an issue with double sided. I even had two 512MB sticks in my 350MHz once.

I got some 2x256mb pc100 sdram chips recently, and they dont work with the iMac. They appear to be double-sided (chips on both sides). Is there an issue with double-sided sdram me…

What are some good Pioneer replacement drives that would be "compatible"? Would all slot-loaders that would fit work? How can I find out more? xlr8yourmac.com is out-dated but is t…

Just an FYI, it's a huge pain in the ass to do sort of drive replacement on a 12" PB.

I agree about the Pioneer drives. I've never had bad luck with one, either personally or in the field.

I'm not a fan of Matsushita drives. Apple's firmware is unnecessarily restrictive about what media types are supported, and Matsushita steadfastly abides by its agreement with Appl…

Hey Guys: This doesn't really apply to Marketplace but my Superdrive is on the fritz. It can't really read discs well and has been burning duds for the last month. I think I need …

To rocketath--I think I detect distinct sarcasm and/or rudeness from your reply. nobody is telling me how to OPEN THE CASE Click to expand... THANKS for the link,…

There are four screws you need to remove. You can see two already. The other two are hidden underneath a panel that pops off. The panel has tons of holes in it, and underneath you …

Right, Sorry-not a G4; Green Slot load imac G3. Thanks for the replies, but aside from which one is easier to get to than the other, nobody is telling me how to OPEN THE CASE. I'm…

actually, i find it quite the opposite, save for the G4. The tray-load are easy, just take off the bottom, and then pull out the tray. The CD is just fixed to it, and easy to get.…

The iMac G3 tray load and iMac G4's I must say are the two harder ones to get drives out of. The slot load on the other hand is much simpler.
