Hey thanks, I will try that out. As far as one of them goes, I am sure the mobo is toasted. It has a burn mark on it on the bottom where there is an visible break with solder joi…

I havnt found an apple service manual and have actually never heard of those. Click to expand... Here you go: http://a4.s3.p.quickshareit.com/files/mac_minid397b.pdf

Same problem with my mini G4: the machine died a few days ago in performing a restart. After a test of components swapped separately from a working unit it seems as if power suppl…

Try disconnecting the power and removing the battery (test the battery too). I've had problems with my old Mini starting up, and following those steps seemed to solve the problem.…

well i am pretty sure that the power supplies are good. I havnt found an apple service manual and have actually never heard of those. I think my next step is to pop out the mobo …

I heard those things were quite tough and least likely to be returned for servicing. The small size could have let heat build up and cook your mobo or powersupply. If you figure i…

Just off the top of my head the first one sounds like a bad mobo. Click to expand... I was going to say that but didn't want to succumb to that first.

Just off the top of my head the first one sounds like a bad mobo.

Power supply is my guess on the second one. The first *might* be the case too. When you turn on the first one, hold the power button until you hear a long beep and the power light …

I have two mac minis, both are G4. When i plug one in, the fan just turns on. The other one does nothing when plugged in or when the power button is pressed. Any ideas what coul…

I just burned the os 8.6 disk, put on my g4 ( i have my g4 upgraded to the latest firmware), reboot.. and worked!.. now i going to install it to my HD.

If you have the money, get both. The ][+ is a nice machine. I'd get it just because it's a complete system, and even if it doesn't come with software, you can easily get it from th…

A IIe will run almost everything that runs on a II+, and almost all cards. Click to expand... The thing I like about the IIe, especially the platinum one, is that it's got the …

A IIc will run almost everything that runs on a II+, but no cards. A IIe will run almost everything that runs on a II+, and almost all cards. All three will fit in a small space …

II+ units are a bit rare though so I might consider picking it up as well... Click to expand... You'll see. Once you get the bug, you'll never quit collecting. Start cleaning…

To the 500 Mhz G4 barrier: Thats why the PPC 7450 was used in the 667 and 733 Mhz G4 DA. An interesting note is that the lower price Digital Audio model include a PowerBook CPU c…

Yeah I was surprised it worked here - the Ames & Des Moines craigslists are really quiet compared to larger cities. Humm I'm thinking of the IIc since reading this thread:…

Keep in mind that you'll want something modern to complement the II+. A GS does nicely, since you can network it right up to the latest G3 (or any other Mac with a serial port), an…

My thoughts are: Wow, craigslist actually worked for you? Every time I look, it is full of spam. And when I posted Wanted ads on there, the only response I got was some spam into m…

I posted an AD on craigslist for an Apple II system. So far I have 2 responses. 1) A nice looking Apple II+ with 2 5.25 disk drives, and a monitor. The person said "make me an off…

I would not be surprised - remember, this stuff was expensive back then, and that wasn't helped one bit by the fact that Motorola was having a lot of trouble putting out fast G4s, …

I'd say you have a Gigabit Ethernet G4/400. And they're not exactly rare - it was the low cost, "no frills" version of the Gigabit G4, for people who couldn't afford/didn't need du…

I finally managed to obtain, from a second-hand dealer, a G4 sawtooth that boots up in 8.6. Yes, it is very fast. [] ]'> To be safe I sent the dealer a copy of my boot CD,…

Nice job on the pictures and information!
