    Portable no backlit, video fades away

    I've figured out the reason. The ribbon cable connection the display panel and motherboard seemed to be broken a bit. Hopefully, I'll try to restore it.

    Portable no backlit, video fades away

    Could it be a screen panel itself? Computer seems to be working and booting correctly

    Portable no backlit, video fades away

    Could you please help me to determine a problem with my original no backlit Macintosh Portable? It starts ok and displays a mouse, beginning to boot normally, but then the picture fades away. My machine was fully recaped and working well before this day. What should I check first?

    Looking for Jaguar PowerMac G5 edition distro

    There's no difference between a G5 edition and a stock versions of Jaguar except 64-bit parts of XNU and Kernel kit. It actually runs as much good as on my PowerBook G3, except the overall speed. Comparing to Panther, well personally I guess both versions run perfectly smooth on my 2.0 DP G5...

    Looking for Jaguar PowerMac G5 edition distro

    Well, I used my PowerMac G5 and Today I've downloaded the toast image from the same MacintoshGarden link and burned it straight on my G5 using Toast Titanium 10. Well, this time the DVD is bootable. I've managed to successfully install OS X 10.2.7 and upgraded it to 10.2.8 G5 edition!

    Looking for Jaguar PowerMac G5 edition distro

    I’m looking for a bootable copy of OS X10.2.7 for PowerMac G5 (special build). The MacintoshGarden has one, but the image is broken and cannot be booted from CD. I’ve searched almost everywhere, but no luck. The internet Archive has a copy of NL G5 software restore disk and that’s all. I’d be...

    Original PowerMac G5 2003 with the new Bluetooth module - is it possible?

    My PowerMac G5 is an early model from 2003, it has two separate cards: one AirPort Express for WiFi connectivity and the other one for Bluetooth. Today I’ve accrued a Bluetooth card A1115 model with BT2.2 support and it fits seamlessly!

    Original PowerMac G5 2003 with the new Bluetooth module - is it possible?

    For A1115 card there’s a video on YouTube showing a successful installation of this model into PowerMac G4. So, I’d try to fit mine into the early G5

    Original PowerMac G5 2003 with the new Bluetooth module - is it possible?

    I'm going to buy and install the newer internal Bluetooth module A1115 which came with later PowerMac G5 models and capable to support BT2.2. My G5 originally supplies with the A1044 module with the only BT1.1 capabilities. Should I try this newer A1115 in my Mac? Physical dimensions and...

    PB 165 clock madness

    I had the same issue on my PB180c. Fixed it by removing all daughterboards and memory, cleaned them and reseated in place again.

    PowerBook 100 battery slider panel removing

    Hi, Does anyone know how to remove a slider door from PB100 battery without damaging it? I’m having trouble with the original battery which is dead, but inserting it inside the PB100 disconnects the supplemental PRAM battery pack from the circuit. I’m thinking of keeping just the front panel to...
