from what I heard, those things caused a LOT of data corruption, mainly as the North-Bridge of the G3 was specifically made to only support 1 Processor per north-bridge from my und…

I've got 8.6 running on my 400 MHZ sawtooth. In college, I found a G3 Powerbook restore cd. I mounted the ASR image and copied the System Folder to an empty volume on my sawtooth. …

In the last week the rubber skin on my graphite clamshell has started peeling away from the bottom part of the case, where I tend to rest my palms. It's only a 2 inch section along…

Replacement power supplies aren't all that hard to come by, but they'll usually cost you more than a complete IIe. I've heard that long periods of disuse cause this... if you have…

As everyone knows, electronics run on magic smoke. When the magic smoke escapes, they don't work any more.

I sell lots of IIe's and this only happened to one customer, I think it was caused by the aging caps in it, I was not there so I can not say for sure, another power supply should f…

Well that's something no user wants to hear. I picked up my Apple IIe at a recycling event today. I powered it up for the second time ever. Got it all hooked up to the monitor, got…

I think Steve Jobs is going to have a fit when he hears about this. Not only are G4 machines slower than 867mhz running Leopard in defiance of his edict, now the door has been open…

One of mine did the deathbead GLOD thing, where it would work sometimes and then degrade, before finally not cooperating at all. A new power board cured that problem. I figured tha…

all fixed now I had to press the magic reset button next to the pram battery and a phone call to macupgrades where I got the Sonnet 1.8Ghz prosessor and they advised to select the …

The PMU of the Sawtooth and later Macs is a little more all-encompassing than the PMUs of older PowerBooks. Newer PMUs are rather more wide-ranging, and Apple describes them as 'c…

does that switch do the same or more ? Click to expand... Well, er, it didn't have a sign on it saying "Do not press this button".....

I hit the reset button by the pram battery and it started to work ( well at least it's starting up now) I still got to figure out why Leopard is not booting what is that reset but…

The video output is an issue with the Processor, I did test with a good I/O Board. The machine won't power on without a good I/O i thought??? Click to expand... That's what I w…

Start back tracking. My G3 B+W refused to start, I opened it up and there is a little reset switch on the motherboard, I pushed that and it burst into life. I disassembled the fro…

I have G4 AGP (450Mhz) which I have just upgraded with a Sonnet Encore 1.8Ghz processor and I have been running it ok for about a week and a halve with tiger 10.4.11 with all the l…

I remember that...brings back memories from Grade 9. (when the G4 first came out, and the US Govt prevented them from exporting it)

Unfortunately, I don't have any spare I/O boards (I presume you mean the main I/O daughter card - not a parallel card for the expansion slots). The video out problem might just be…
