Thanks for the answer! First though I'd reseat the RAM and rebuild everything. Then I'd do the old "clean the board with metho" or put in in a dishwasher, leave to dry for …

i am going to take it to the apple store next friday,just in case they actually know what they are talking about. if they quote me way to high of a price to fix it, or tell me that…

TBH I think they both were integral to the creation of Apple. Basically: Woz: did all the hacking work, and awesome stuff. But could not do a presentation for his life (No Offens…

I've always been a quiet fan of the original iBooks. While I wouldn't mind owning one because I've always wanted too I have no idea what I would do with it other than have it sit …

Sounds like your iMac G5 has the same problem mine has. Don't bother taking it to the apple store, they will just say your logic board is bad, and try to get you to shell out ~$500…

Welcome aboard, comrade! I'm sure you'll fit in fine, we've already got a few Steve-o-philes here in the 68kMLA! : I'm a "woz" kinda guy myself, but we've got room for all sor…

Hello, and welcome to the forums!! I am sure you will find a wealth of information about classic and old macs, since that's what we do here. I hope you enjoy your stay, and pleas…

imac g5, 2.0ghz, 1gb ram, original box, brand new keyboard and mouse- $20 Click to expand... 8-o Click to expand... :O :O :O :O

i found out that the imac probably has a dead psu. does anyone know if i can use a psu from an earlier g5?

That's an utterly amazing haul for so little - you'll look back on this day fondly for many years to come! I reckon there is a law now that says you'll sadly find nothing else for…

How do you open the little tacker non-destructively? Click to expand... I just pried at the seam with a knife and it cracked open, luckily along the seams. YMMV as they say. T…

get a volt meter and start tracing voltages until it stops Click to expand... Careful there, special high voltage probes may be called for in some areas.

Beck-Tech's modified ROM was exactly the same as the original, except that in about a dozen places, Andy had hard-coded the screen address for 512KB of RAM, and those needed to be …

H3NRY, I noticed elsewhere that you've been inside the Cube speaker's amp module and (IIRC) made some mods. How do you open the little tacker non-destructively? And did you ever …

If the internal hard drive is larger than 4GB (unlikely unless it's been upgraded), don't attempt to install or format the drive over SCSI Disk Mode. There's a firmware bug that l…

Carlo (Mr.T), after reading your post again I see that you are expressing disappointment over not having a stock 128k. What I can say is that 128k logic boards are often sold on E…

As far as installing over LocalTalk, I don't recall that being possible. Click to expand... For example I have a "System 7.5 network install CD", you need a lower version and b…

I do have external SCSI CD drives, but not the HDI-30 adapter to attach it. As far as installing over LocalTalk, I don't recall that being possible.

If you have another old mac with a CD drive and have the necessary networking hardware (and I assume you do), stick the CD in another machine, turn on filesharing, and mount the CD…

No fair! I've always wanted a cube.
