The problem with PPC and Youtube is that once you can view video at 1080p resolution (using any old crappy pc)  its hard to go 480p again. Plus I don't think Netflix works on PPC a…

OK, so here I am. I've been using my Dual 1.25 GHz MDD as my main desktop for about three weeks. It's not too bad, actually. Just slow. Even YouTube plays decently (on low, of co…

Here's an update: I've actually found the culprit! (I think) There was a chip in the battery area named T548 whose function I don't know. This chip had developed a short, probably…

Thank you

The BIOS is a custom one based on the intel reference bios for this board series. It pre-dates the "retail" board used in the D915GXX series by a little bit (no surprise there as t…

I decided to take a few resistance measures between the pads of the capacitors in the battery area of the logic board.  Among the top 6 capacitors, the two on the left and the two …

Cool!

No but the battery area looked like yours so just to be safe it was worth it while apart to do it.

Macdrone, what was wrong with your board? Was it exhibiting similar problems?

When I did mine taking them all off and putting in 1 by 1 worked well for me. And I did that with a radio shack special 3 years ago , I'm pretty sure that makes me crazy also lol.

Had time to look at this boy more closely today. I've washed the board completely over again, and now it's really shiny clean - unfortunately no luck with the problem. So I've de…

raoulduke.... What I love about building your own battery replacements is that the older the device, the higher mAh your new one will be. I just found a PRAM replacement battery …

All three PowerBooks (PB 3400c + PB G3 "Kanga" + PB 3400c) are booting to desktop, the left one still with faulty keyboard connectors.

System7today has it I think. 

Would you have any copy of the OpenTransport disk by any chance?

After installing the software for my ethernet card (Farallon), I could not get my internet to work until I installed Open Transport.  Then it was a cake walk.  I was using OS7, an…
