Next one looking sharp after a quick spruce up is the ROM03 IIgs... In all honesty I only ever really used this once and then put it away in a dark place as it was in such good nic…

So as you probably know I intended to delve into the cave and retreive some more treasures, bats and spiders some time back but didnt know where to start... well I found the motiva…

I've neglected this thread for a bit, however that isnt to say things havent been happening. :  For one, I recently added a Sawtooth G4 to the tower of power collection... It's ve…

For those talking about YouTube performance on PowerPC, have any of you tried ClickToFlash with the latest Leopard-Webkit release? It allows direct playback of h.264 video natively…

Hmmmm interesting.  I'm using a Crescendo 400/1M G3 CPU to preserve the stock card (and have more speed), and I actually noticed I have the Powerlogix control panel app and extensi…

I have the same issue using a 200MP dual 604 board on my 9600 get chime sound but dont get video, same problem on a 8600. The trouble seem to be the L2 cache on the 8600 removing …

The problem with PPC and Youtube is that once you can view video at 1080p resolution (using any old crappy pc)  its hard to go 480p again. Plus I don't think Netflix works on PPC a…

OK, so here I am. I've been using my Dual 1.25 GHz MDD as my main desktop for about three weeks. It's not too bad, actually. Just slow. Even YouTube plays decently (on low, of co…

CompuNurd said: I'll do that a bit later. It's put away right now. Does the Q950 have on board graphics, or could it have been part of the card I just blew? Click to expan…

Here's an update: I've actually found the culprit! (I think) There was a chip in the battery area named T548 whose function I don't know. This chip had developed a short, probably…

I decided to take a few resistance measures between the pads of the capacitors in the battery area of the logic board.  Among the top 6 capacitors, the two on the left and the two …

Cool!

No but the battery area looked like yours so just to be safe it was worth it while apart to do it.

Macdrone, what was wrong with your board? Was it exhibiting similar problems?

When I did mine taking them all off and putting in 1 by 1 worked well for me. And I did that with a radio shack special 3 years ago , I'm pretty sure that makes me crazy also lol.

Had time to look at this boy more closely today. I've washed the board completely over again, and now it's really shiny clean - unfortunately no luck with the problem. So I've de…

I try this this week Today, i have connected a VGA header (with haplain help) and it works : i have connected two display 

raoulduke.... What I love about building your own battery replacements is that the older the device, the higher mAh your new one will be. I just found a PRAM replacement battery …
