I'm glad I did that to the CPU card I got for my MDD then. Damn thing seems to run hot enough as it is.

Regardless of whether a machine appears fine, you should replace the foil between the CPUs and the heat sink the first time you take the heat sink off. Heat sink compound is alway…

I am amazed that it didn't happen sooner! My MDD was regularly +150F, yet it didn't complain for five years. Meanwhile I had a feature creep situation with a project for recasing i…

I happened upon this thread and thought I would add my two cents. Hope this is useful and not a "me too" sort of deal. I have a IIci that I made out of two IIcis, and I was think…

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this directly, but the early Dual USB iBooks with Rage graphics did not suffer from the GPU problems that the later Radeon models did. In fact…

Thanks, I was thinking the HDD. The machine acts virtually normal when booted off the 9.2.1 CD. I don't have access to an external HDD.. (well I do, but its over 128GB..) so I don'…

Well im not sure what the problem is, I think you should throw it in the garbage tonight.

Thanks for helping me with this, I'd like to get to the bottom. I've reinstalled the OS (9.2) several times, with no avail. Last time I completely reformatted it and preformed a c…
