Looking for feedback on [wiki]68kMLA Wiki talk:Custom skin[/wiki]...

Sounds like a solid plan. I've got everything packed up to head back to university, so I'll check it out later tonight when I get there.

Any problems they have won't be linked to leaking cooling devices. All 2.0GHz models are strictly air cooled. For $100 it sounds like a winner. If they showed up here, I'd go fo…

depends, you could solder a new one on, but if the original issue that fried it in the first place is still there, you will have just burned out another first place id look is to …

I agree, go for it. It's tough to imagine any scenario in which you couldn't get more than $100 parting them out if they turned out to be unfixable. And as others have said, if one…

Thanks a lot man. Would the fix just be to solder on a new one? That is if it is the part you think it is of course.

I cant find anything for those numbers (damn apple using noname china knockoffs) it appears to be a fet, but with what stats i dunno might try abit harder when i get home from wor…

Make sure the batteries are installed correctly (+ and - in the correct orientation). Does the PS click at all when you try to turn it on? Check for leaking capacitors and that t…

is there any print left on "the black box" (probably a voltage regulator) Click to expand... unfortunately the print has been completely burnt off. However it does look exactly…

Definitely looks like bad / dirty VRAM to me. Try removing the VRAM SIMM and cleaning the gold fingers with a clean pencil eraser. This problem may be affected by bumping the mac…

I'm pretty sure you have to upload them somewhere else and link to them. Try this free service: http://imageshack.us/

It's maybe an exaggeration to take the statement "there are no 64-bit PowerPC apps" and add all of those extra qualifiers to it. There may be a few, I don't know whether or not Ape…

I think benchmarks are shit too, and they favor Intel Macs over PPC Macs somehow. Everything is optimized for x86, many times more effort has been put into optimizing x86 compilers…

Check the motherboard for leaking caps.

I'm sure the parts are worth more than $100 easy. There is a small market just for the G5 tower case for Mods and those can fetch about $100 each. Then there is the possibility …

I took some pictures of the mess today if anyone's interested: The logic board underside http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l146/virusys/IMG_3513.jpg Where the blackbox was burnt…

I have recently acquired an Apple Macintosh IIx which does not power on. No chimes, No nothing. I have replaced the power supply and both batteries but still nothing. Power on…

You should make an estimation as to how easy and/or cheap it will be for you to fix the machines. Then you can decide if it's a good deal or not. Just having broken machines isn't…

I think any G5, working or not, $100 is a great deal! :O

Hey guys, guess who got the Macintosh! Complete book! I did, bwahahaa!!! } I just read the first 7 or so chapters last evening. It's a rather bizarre book, but rather fascinati…

sorry they took so long wait i can't figure out how to upload pictures can someone tell me?

Yes, I was going to mention the issue with the caps on all of the iMac G5 models, but I see that you've come to that conclusion. Might be a cap either in the PSU or the logic boar…

some one on my local craigslist is selling 2 powermac g5s 2.0 ghz dual processor that "One powers on but has no boot, Other one powers on but randomly turns off." for $100. is this…

They don't have a toll-free number unfortunately. and you're right, there are a lot of things of interest there. I realized they have a support email though, so I will send the…
