A few months ago.

I used my 1 GHz TiBook for awhile, but it got rather frustrating, because it kept kernel panicking if I did anything intensive (which brought up the temperatures, making me think i…

I don't own a CC and haven't done this modification, but I've looked at the horizontal sweep circuits of the B&W compacts in some detail. I think the CRT shouldn't be your…

thinking and googleing about it, im going to take out the board and cover the acid damaged area with 3to1 baking soda mixture to kill any remaining acid.  let it soak into it for a…

Well I paid US$70-80 for it, like 10 months ago! Edit: When did you buy yours?

Kinda high IMO. I paid $20 for my 500MHz unit, in mint condition. Just had a dead PRAM preventing boot.

well it says Ati 3d Rage II techknight........but from now on its the 20th anniversary UE8 by the looks of things

If thats the RAGE IC, thats why your video is scrambled.  those traces I pointed out, there are some opens.  You need to go over all of the traces that show "discoloration" wiht …

techknight - good call. Will have a look at them tomorrow. Just a continuity test between 2 via's on a single trace - will do - 0.1uf - that's great to know - will install new on…

What about http://www.gainsaver.com/catalog/Detail.aspx?&CCode=1015^Apple&CCode=3398^Mac+Laptops&ACode=G4&CCode=3407^PowerBooks&cICode=43669…

have had no chime to date..........just strange sounds, clicks, noise, static...when floppy inserted noise matches the floppys activity - power/green light comes on sometimes, ot…

Hey falen:  Take a look at my photo. I circled areas that need tested for continuity checks. Especially the ones in the bottom corner coming from that IC.  Also the capacitor is …

10.4 and 10.5 won't be amazing on it since that GPU doesn't support CoreImage and it's capped at 1GB ram, but it would probably be a fairly good challenge.

Would a Titanium PowerBook G4 work? 867 MHz/1 GHz. Can boot every Mac OS from 9 to 10.5!

With the battery pulled, I can get 2-10 seconds between the chime and the light coming on on my TAM. 

Question. You mentioned the light comes on. Do you get a startup chime? After pressing power, how long until it comes on? I just noticed that my light comes on but not right awa…

You dont have a 5500/6500 laying around do you?

Mine is the same brand. I think all the black boxed batteries in Macs are Rayovac. One cap maybe could. Until ruled out, hard to say if its the issue or now. You could try to trac…

Really, PPC wasn't dumped after 10.5 because it was incapable, but because Apple wanted to push forward, and as much as it hurts, Snow Leopard would not have turned out as well as …

I need the 70ns version of what you posted the link to.  This will allow me to run a faster processor - I am changing out the crystal on the 575 as well. Maybe they have some?  I …

Heres a few pictures people of the battery that leaked all over this TAM - I opened it up and you can clearly see the acid.... its all over the place. My fingers were covered wit…

Hi... My TV is the very last CRT HD Sony TV.  Deep, deep blacks, and pure whites.  Yes, it is only HDMI 1.1, but I love the 1920 X 1080p picture. No motion artifacts. I am gettin…

The stomping of the various YT frontends was a direct result of the API changeover, yes... a month ago, they all still worked. I hate Youtube a whole lot, not gonna lie. But anywa…

hey unity - thanks for the helpful info. again I agree with all you say. Im thinking of removing c118, measuring its value, finding something similar , and as you said glue it in…

Okay, I will dig into it a bit. I emailed him. I certainly could have missed that model variation in my searches. With so many regulatory tags its hard to tell.
