Since you're running System 7 there is an easy way to see if an extension or control panel (sometimes referred to as INITs and cdevs by old-timers) is causing a conflict. Start up …

I'll also mention that the whole problem with me unable to get into Open Firmware might have to do with the fact that the computer doesn't understand the keyboard properly. Even no…

I'm impatient so I burned at 8x which is the fastest my burner does (and my media is rated at). It all worked out, and I've got 10.4.11 running on my Mini now. The last image I got…

It's an interesting suggestion. My PB160 has a fairly poor greyscale display (which improves dramatically when set to display Black & White only), and I had a 145b that I h…

It actually turns out that my boot media is all junk. I decided to pop the Debian Linux boot cd I used two years ago and it went right into the boot menu. I've got new media coming…

Supposedly in the LCD display. Click to expand... Pics?

well, i tried removing the screensaver, and even if it's running something like MS word and the mouse is moved, it still does it. Tech specs: moire screensaver, system 7.1, 40 mb…

Turn the screensaver off or remove it. Then investigate other, compatible screensavers.

Did you do a complete install of OS from scratch or are you running gods knows what from god knows where?

how do i fix this, and if i can't fix it, is there any way to continue without restarting? Click to expand... You will save a lot of time if you provide as much detailed infor…

Just an update. I replaced the original 400mhz cpu in my Sawtooth with a OWC 1.5ghz G4 upgrade (that I downclocked to 1.4ghz). Now it won't let me boot into 8.6 anymore. When I am…

hi all ever since i got my Macintosh classic, i have noticed that if i leave it on and don't move any thing, it will go into screensaver mode. when i move the mouse it stops the …

I received this as a donation for my PowerPup project. (He was tired of messing with it so he gave it to me, but I wanted to at least pay for shipping. ) The display doesn't…

If the circuit reads a short in a cell the whole battery is "dead" and resetting the controller will not help.

I ordered four of them from DigiKey, we'll see how they do, I have two analog boards to repair right now, and this will give me two spares. If they work out really well, I'll get …

You need a solvent-type plastic welder, for example Ambroid's ProWeld. It's a very thin solvent that can be wicked into a crack. I've repaired tons of cracked and broken PB ABS par…
