Agree. Actually thought about running it through the wash again but for longer, not just quick rinse. Plus I need to check for the solder joints as stated above by another member.
I didn't see a lot of corrosion but there was what looked like mouse pee on the board (my cats loved the machine...
This is what I do to transfer files from one Mac to another and onto PC's. If your house has a network this should work as long as each computer is connected to the net via ethernet cables. System 7.1 through OS 9.2.2 is needed to work, as well as your apple control panels like AppleTalk and...
Thank you so much for your assistance! This is my first quicksilver in my collection, this style Macintosh case is my favorite starting with the G3 towers. I actually put the logicboard through the dishwasher yesterday as I thought what you just said that there was still gunk left somewhere...
Thank you so much. I do need to get some 90 percent as I currently have 70 percent. By the way I did feel it was the processor or surrounding area, as I took everything out and tired each individual component out into a good motherboard. All but the processor as I was afraid of harming a good...
Well I believe you might be onto something as I re-sat everything including the processor and the machine that didnt produce any noise made a bong noise out of both speakers. I know that monitor works as I took the working logic board caddy out of one and tired in the other. I still suspect the...
Recently I won a quicksilver G4 Power Macintosh for a good price stated as parts. Took a chance and it does not work. Was badly taken care of seemed to have been left out in a barn as there was mouse stuff inside of it. Literally took the whole thing apart and cleaned everything. Here's the...
Have you tried a different ram simm? I'm working on a G3 which had ram and gave a bong but would not boot. Turned out it was bad ram causing the system to not boot. Try replacing the ram with a good stick.
Hmm...I too would have assumed that it would test all components before startup chime. I will try the resetting things with the processor and the cache dimm. I did read about the G3mobos having overclocking ability which I did locate and appears to have been left alone but it could as well need...
I did swap them out to test the other machine. It too does work just there is an issue with the logic board. Kind think perhaps the processor went on it. Would it make a boot chime if the processor was bad?
Update:
So I have been messing about with these machines. Found out that both machines actually do give a boot chime but faintly. I swapped the caddy's out between the machines just to try out different scenarios. In one machine the sound works and gives a boot chime but the other one does not...
Hey thank you for the replies!!
Yes the original HDD is still in the machine and in fact needs to come out as in both machines they both make noises.
Good point with the CD thing. I have a few installers OS 8.1, OS 9 and OS 9.2.2. I will give that a go.
Thank you so much Wayne I also didnt...
Hello there. So I recently acquired two G3 Molar macs from a friend. Both were stated as having screen issues. Neither of them work. One will give a mac bong and the other wont. Both will power on and display the green led and I can hear the fans spin up as well as the HDD's on both machines. I...
LOVE IT! So cool you have one on display. Is it hooked up and able to be used? I as well have an LC hooked up always in my game room on display that is used often for classic gaming hence why its in the game room. Its a maxed out LC hooked up to the internet. Love the LC. So cool you have one...
So its for sure the video card as, I took the card out of the DA G4 machine and popped it into the MDD G4 and it booted fully. New card is already ordered off ebay. Just waiting for it to come. Thank you everyone for your input!
OMGness that Compaq is awesome! I so remember using that bloat ware Compaq stuff... Same exact midi player lol.....That was similar to the model Compaq Presario we had. It was the 4712. I still have that machine however the quantum bigfoot hdd went on it and I could no longer install the Compaq...
