It sounds like the lovely pinched inverter cable issue. The snow iBook's are known for this problem, your best bet is to get a new cable.

Hey there! I'm having a few problems with my iBook G4's screen. 1. Sometimes when brightness is all the way up or almost all the way down, the screen flickers but stays that way …

Well you're not going to believe this, but it seems to have come back to life again. I just sat down with it and tried various arrangements of CPU, motherboard and RAM. Eventually …

I'm wandering if there is such application like SCSI probe for the IIgs? Would be useful at this time

Yeah...the thing is, the other motherboard doesn't even chime. The motherboard thats in it now chimes, and comes up with an image, like I said, it just doesn't boot. (either it han…

Wait.... You tried switching RAM, CPU, and motherboard, running on an external monitor, yet it still fails? That strikes me as it MUST be something in the power supply. The only…

Sadly the tray loader pre-dates any sort of Apple Hardware Test CDs...IIRC they came in with the Summer 2000 imacs. I've noticed that in the months before it died, its been tak…

Have you run it through an apple diagnostics disk to have it check everything? I know it sounds weird, but a looping ASD has found many a tricky thing for myself. Also, even with …

Well last week I powered up my iMac to discover it had gone deadskies. It'd boot to the Apple logo (Jag 10.2. 8) , and then freeze, and display static. (like a bad digital TV pi…

If I remember correctly, the official maker(Sigma Seven) charges even more.

This is nothing new, as I saw that many times on eBay (similar hardware) that emulate a Widget drive. But looking at auction from this seller, is really into money! All auctions a…

I agree luddite it must have the optional hyper mini flux capacitor card ][ from doc electronics that was made for the apple II computers

Uh, no. The rev b. card is just a firmware update. What you need is an Apple PCC Time Travel expansion card. Unfortunately, those cards will only work with the enhanced IIe or I…

Soon I'll have an 88mb SyQuest Drive & 7 disks. [|)] ]'>

I'm definately joining the winters retro challenge! I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I quite like the image there in the retrochallenge website. Would it be poss…

yay! reason to live! Although saying that I will be out of town the first few day. BUT! yay! pointless poorly executed tasks ahead!

Well, in case anyone hasn't noticed, there's now a website up for the 2008 winter warmup: http://retrochallenge.net/2008/winter/ Cheers to luddite for getting it all sorted! Cl…

I've tried multiple known-working disks on the Zip. The SuperDisks sound pitiful. I think I'll be looking for a SCSI SyQuest or maybe an external SCSI HD. I haven't seen eithe…

My experience with at least the later Syquests hasn't been good. They're basically hard disks, and it seems too much to ask them to be removable, too. Their 40MB and 80MB disks see…

AND NOW I HAVE THE CLICK OF DEATH!! :O > Click to expand... I had a good SCSI Zip Drive I got from my sister for a couple of years and then it went click of death on m…

I'll probably end up getting another… Unless I get one of those SyQuest thingers. Has anybody used them? Are they better? :?: EDIT: Oh, and SuperDisks! How are those?
