Well, that got my attention. Can a dual G54/500MHz processor go in a Cube without serious surgery?

Interesting...pooh, I hope it's not the VRAM but we shall see. If it's a dead duck, I'll repost...get the parts somewhere useful. I expect this is a 180mhz. because it's only comi…

Yes, it was AU$5 +pp. I'll get around to uploading them sometime soon

My understanding is that water was used in the factory for cleaning the boards after assembly, and so that it has to be reasonably safe to use water still. Most likely there will b…

I've decided how I am going to clean the motherboard. I'm going to use Alconox. From their website: (Notice it mentions circuit boards!) http://www.alconox.com/static/section_to…

Hi Jason, I responded to your email a few minutes ago. I see that JDW gave you basically the same advice I did, but in better detail. You didn't mention the reverse polarity pro…

a big thanks to JDW for such a thorough reply. just to be clear i am *not* that dexterous with a soldering tool. in fact, this whole process of cap replacement is new to me. my pr…

I have never "partially recapped" a board and then tested it. So I cannot speak from experience in that regard. But what I can say is that if you have the caps properly oriented …

noidentity, I was able to download the driver today. It is working great on my TT128 at 1680x1050. Thanks again, Mike

i have 220uf 35v for 220uf 16v can i use this ? and the surface pads have come up off the board for one of them. how will i make a good connection now for that capacitor?

I received my replacement capacitors from Trag (thanks, Jeff) and have started to solder this morning. I have three finished, when I decided to put the board back and try it out. O…

The ones from Trag have a thin, red line on the one side. That's the positive side. Cheers, Anders

the tantalum ones are not marked positive or negative. how do i know which end is which ?

yes, can type almost always indicate the negative side, where as tants are marked on the positive side

I'll venture a guess; you've put the capacitor in backwards. The tiny stripe on the capacitor should point towards the "+" on the motherboard. I *think* this is opposite the factor…

OS 9 on my 1.25GHz MDD dual G4 screams, even though it is effectively only using one CPU under OS 9.
