https://www.ebay.com/itm/235994267707 sooooo uh, this is on eBay, and it looks to be a normal digital audio or graphite G4. until you look at the pictures and see the motherboard has the 4pin power connector for the CPU and the extra screw post that provides 12V for QS cards. if anyone here in...

hello, i'm rather curious about your all's experience with 168pin EDO DIMMs, and what upgrades people have made to the RAM in the powermac 6400. i would love to get 264MB of RAM (2x 128MB plus the 8mb onboard). apparently the 6400 supports 1k or 2k refresh, and the service manual specifically...

hello, i have a power macintosh 6400 with a sonnet G3 upgrade and 104MB of RAM (also looking for two 64MB sticks of 5V EDO DIMM memory for this thing that don't cost a fortune...), and the machine is quite nice. however i have experienced an issue recently after i turned the system on after a...

Hello. I am looking for someone willing to dump the ROM of their OS 9 compatible 2003 model eMac. Yes, I know you can use the unsupported G4s image, but startup disk won't pick up the OS 9 system folder on OS X if you have one of these eMacs with the newer firmware. And there are ways to go...

Hello, recently I bought a G4 MDD tower and have switched out some capacitors in the PSU for new ones, but then I started having an issue where the system crashes every time I try to start it, and sometimes it will chime but won't boot completely (so it chimes, no video, no USB power). And...

I have a 2002 iMac G4 15" (P80) that I pulled off one of my shelves to mess around with because I don't really use it a whole lot. I got curious since I had a couple 7455A CPUs on hand I bought off of eBay about a couple years ago and after years of practicing soldering and hot air work I...

It is a sad thing to think about... my trusty dual 1GHz G4 just threw an error at me about the cache failing testing in Mac OS 9. When I boot into OS X it becomes clear that the L3 cache does not show up. Is there anything I can do to fix this or am I screwed?

Hello... I have a PowerMac G4 Gigabit model with an AcBel PSU that does not power on. The capacitors don't seem to be leaking or bulging but I'm getting absolutely nothing out of the PSU. Apparently theres a guy on eBay doing repair services for these power supplies but I don't know what he is...

so i recently got an A1195 iMac from someone on the trading post, it was even shipped in its original box (thanks!). while i could've easily just kept the A1195 board in there with its GMA 950 video card.... i had other ideas. i got a cheap A1208 board which is about the same, except for the...

so i know a few people have talked about this, and i am also one of the 2 people who tried this recently. any IIsi owner knows these things: the power supplies LOVE to crap their guts out with ELNA caps if not recapped, the speakers drop occasionally because of a strange design, and... the...

Hello! Thought I'd start fresh with a new thread of my conquests. This one is honestly a bit regretful but turned out to be more worth it in the end... I paid $140 for a Macintosh IIsi at a local computer shop in my area. It was in very nice condition, but the capacitors needed to be replaced on...

i have a performa 475, which has been with me for a while. unfortunately the power supply blew up on me and i feel like recapping it would not really fix the main issue these have... which is just not being great power supplies. i'd like something that ideally would give me more power than 27W...

Hello!! If you don't know I'm simply someone who likes messing with old electronics. Back in March of 2023, someone in a Discord server I was once in was giving away some parts of their collection, and I was lucky enough to call dibs on a Macintosh SE/30 with a RasterOps Colorboard/264. Just one...

I recapped an SE/30 a while back and then I decided to try re-soldering the chips that had corrosion on them which may have caused issues with the system not working correctly after said recap, and while I was cleaning up UE12... this happened... Is there a way to fix this or is my SE/30 doomed?!?

With the use of the DLSD LCD cable and the panel... I have managed to get this working. A 1440x960 15" panel on a 2004 15" PowerBook G4. I suspect this is possible because Apple used a similar cable in the 17" PowerBooks, albeit with dual channel LVDS rather than single channel LVDS in the 15"...

So this is a project I've been THINKING of taking on. I've received my 2 PowerPC 7455A chips, each rated at 1GHz, probably able to get to 1.33GHz at the most. My plan was to swap 7455A/B chips onto these computer parts: -Dual 1GHz G4 card, early - I'm going to have to get someone to do this for...

As you may know (and as a small Vintage Apple server I'm in knows), I'm usually known for overclocking a 2005 eMac to 1.92GHz. However, that's not the only thing I've done, as I've switched up PLLs several times. Before I start, if you do want to overclock, you might want to check your system...

So I was talking to my former japanese teacher about a story she told, where she had used her dad's old Macintosh computer (she mentioned it was an SE?) with a program called Kirin. More specifically, a demo version from an unknown disk. I did this over e-mail, so here's what she had to say: I...

I was recently given a Performa 6360 (might I add, with a G3 card!), and when I turn it on, the computer chimes as normal yet the monitor shows nothing but "Input signal out of range, change to 1024x768 at 60Hz" I'm fairly certain that these do output some nonstandard resolutions, and I even...

I am absolutely not responsible for any damage to your Apple eMac. Whatever you did is not my fault, it is yours. I myself have damaged some parts by sheer mistake and rush. Something like this takes a lot of patience and a good pair of eyes.
