hey're marked as "L" on the circuit board, so I assume that's what they are). How often do those things go bad? Do they hiss/whistle? Click to expand... Inductors and transform…

Would it fit in an LC case?

Slimline case, and eMacquarium!

An IrDA port is just a serial port, I think, so it should be trivial to programme. The bondi iMac I took apart certainly had its IrDA ports connected to a standard mini-DIN serial …

For the slimline case: Pros: *Custom goodness for you to have your way with. *Small form *Easily transportable *Not super heavy *Cooler running Cons: *No more integral disp…

Hack it into a slimline case. The CRT is dodgy and you've already damaged the Airport slot, so use it as an opportunity to build something different. And treat it as a learning exe…

1.42ghz eMacs? Not a bad spec at all, my friend. 133mhz frontside bus with DDR memory and a 1.42ghz G4 is by no means a slouch of a system. The eMac that does boot could just need…

I was playing around with the Emac that did boot and the video came on. It boots to the loading screen and stays there. The apple screen with the spinning pinwheel. Left it runn…

See if you can get one working unit. From there see if the problems are related to one specific component. The G3 iMacs commonly bad flyback transformers which would allow the comp…

Reseat your RAM. My iBook wouldn't boot because its ram stick somehow came loose. Usually when RAM is in halfway it will blink the sleep light.

now that i think about it, I am probably wrong because i seem to remember it being a bug with xpostfacto

This link sources a few different places you can get it. Also for a few different Apple laptops. I went with Digikey. http://www.jkllamps.com/laptop.cfm VERY inexpensive and th…

Hell, my newton used to control my Sony TV... I bet it can be done...

Where did you get the bulb?

There was a utility to do this with Windows laptops I saw a while ago... can't remember the name.

I thought you meant, that the Battery Reset was not written for the Clamshell. Excuse me while I go shoot myself.

That battery reset actually is written for the clamshell as well. But thats the only iBook compatible. Click to expand... I have no idea what you're saying. The OP was talking …

Like trick it into thinking your sending a file but it is actually the code to change the the channel or something.

You might need some sort of direct hardware access to do that because it isn't a typical serial signal. I really don't know where to start, though. IrDA can also receive IR signa…

In the hacks section of applefritter there is a guy who put an iMac into a 21" monitor. I had forgotten all about it untill this thread!

My thoughts exactly. I had Leopard on my dual 450 G4 with 1.12GB of ram and the Radeon 7000, it was alright, but it gets annoying after a while. Leopard seems to chew on hard drive…

Fabulous. I have a mac display to VGA adapter sitting here as we speak. So I could use a standard display.
