Maybe the button is faulty?

The only issue I have run into is on an old Powerbook 170. It suffered from black corners of the LCD when on for a long period of time. All my other powerbooks work fine. Mind y…

I'm running a Power Mac 7500 with a Sonnet Crescendo G3/500, 224MB RAM, 2 SCSI hard drives and Mac OS 9.1. It has been a faithful machine to me for the past 5 years. I will be lo…

My Sawtooth won't turn on! I have replaced every component other than the logic board and power supply with spares. When I press the power button, nothing happens. Is it the logic …

I'll try to take a picture. I don't own a camera, but I can borrow one from work.

I kind of love the PCI PPC era because of the clones. Apple's decisions in this era as far as chassis layout and design is enough to make anyone dislike them on that basis alone an…

I sorta remember a fuse on the ADB port 5V line. Don't have a II cx to look at, but have a squint at the mobo for a little surface mount chip labelled F-something. There is also a …

Turned out great. Click to expand... Thanks for sharing a photo. :O

I successfully applied the hires 640x480 hack on my Color Classic. I've never even soldered before. Turned out great. My next step is to solder on a resister so I can expan…

...but upgrading would require pulling money out of my MacBook savings!

Having several modern CCFL backlit LCDs that have gone dim, I'm wondering how well the 68k portables' LCDs hold up to age. What are some of the common problems, and what should on…

Does "nbplkup" run on the server show up the 605 as a workstation?

have you tried just installing an ethernet card?

So MLA, what should I do with it? Click to expand... Well, it's certainly a good candidate for a mod. Considering how many Mac Pluses there are out there, I would suggest that …

Didn't there used to be a G4 daughterboard of some sort that could run 2 unbalanced G4 CPU's, i.e a 350 mhz and a 450 mhz. Always imagined that could be useful if you could find a…

My Quadra 605 running MacOS 7.6 does not see the shares on my FreeBSD 7.2 with Netatalk running. I can confirm that afpd and atalkd are running. The network is currently Q605 -&am…

Nope. No red button. Only two buttons near the PRAM battery.

How do you reset the MoBo? Click to expand... If memory serves me right, there is a red button that is labeled "PRAM RESET" on the motherboard. While the G3 is unplugged, hold …

Yes but the one near the processor Lights up and then turns off. This makes me think its the processor. Well whatever if it is. At the lab we have a few 350MHZ ZIFs How do you res…

I don't know, that was the way it came. What I think happened was the heat sink pulled away from the processor, so the processor with no cooling burnt itself out. The replacement I…

(or see if anyone on here has a rom flasher and is willing to make some for you)

er... get a ROM flasher and some ROM chips, and make ROMs?

I have a dead Macintosh Plus (early non-Platinum) just sitting here. I think for the most part a lot of it works, despite the PSU being a little bit flaky due to bad joints and the…

I enjoyed the description on that last Powerbook: Please assume that our are free of mold Click to expand... I always worry about getting a moldy computer... :lol:

Hmm, I tested it with some RAM and it did the same. No display. Just powers up HDs and Drives.There are many lights on the Mobo. Click to expand... Are the motherboard lights g…
