The batt was out of the computer I know. also I am just making a pin out for the power brick, as nothing happend it is the power box as my first wiring did make the computer boot b…

A little bird *very much in the know* once told me about a number of skeletons in the G5's closet, particularly the first generation (1.6-2.0Ghz) models, but that's about all I can…

Link Its the third table (IIvx, Q800, PM7100)

Does anyone have a pinout of the 650 power supply so we can tell this guy which color wires to connect where? I believe it's compatible with 7100, IIci, IIcx, IIvi, IIvx.

There was no Batt in it, Click to expand... The Centris 650 DOES have a battery: { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Pr…

Is it just me, or was Apple's best quality from about 1997-2001? This time period produced some amazing machines (2400, 3400, 9600, G3 desktops and notebooks, G4 towers), whereas a…

I agree - looks like a VRAM problem. Could also be a bad VRAM module, or mismatched VRAM.

Try reseating the vram/ replacing the vram with new chips.

The videos not great, but since I can't describe the issue well and since my English stinks, here's a video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDssVHugr40 The first 30 sec's and las…

For: Defor: You can say what you want that is your opinion and that's fine. But my point it that I don't have 3-5K to keep up with the LAGS (Latest and greatest Syndrome) I have …

Good then that gives hope to the eMac in my schools computer lab that is failing.

you have a copy of BeOS 8-o have fun with it, i've always wanted to try it :beige:

Here's a Macintouch page discussing "G5 Thermal Runaway". You might find something helpful in it. On an advisory note, I had a 2.0 Ghz G5 Xserve for a while, which I understand use…

I only discovered today that these models are well suited to BeOS 4.5, being one of the few models "directly" compatible (without caveats). I found it at the local recycler and hop…

Thanks for the abridged version... I'm totally with you on points 1, 2 and 5. Don't know about 4 (I thought DVI was current technology), and I'm not going to say anything about Lin…

problem with most cheap ebay batteries is that they are half the cells, and 1 chunk of led, with false markings on the outside

It was something like this: 1. obsolete - who cares 2. pro apps - only recently, and the older version doesn't become invalid and worthless upon release of newer version 3. yell…

That's fine, I didn't have time to read it anyway

I got brand new chinese iBook G3 batteries for $36 each in bulk. Just buy a new one off eBay. Pick the absolute cheapest seller who is in the USA and buy that one. No one seller h…

I typed up a big long post, and the forum software ate it, and I don't feel like typing it again.

You know, there is a *big* difference between 'being obsolete' and 'being usable'. The G5 is very obsolete in computing terms, but its still usable

Welcome to the eMac Club! I own a 700 mhz one and they rock. slightly loud and heavy but nice nonetheless. I am not sure if this model is one of those that has the leaky caps but w…

that is one of the most unfair comparisons ever... "snappier..." let's see.. you have a VERY modern, fast, high cache 1TB 3.5" drive in the G5... 16GB ram... and you're compari…
