    XBHS1997's finds, saves and conquests

    No problem, it's always nice to see other people collecting these. :) I'll try to update this post this week. Also made a quite strange find last Saturday.

    They also have fans and heatsinks. LCS is hidden behind the G5 cover. LCS-models should also have a warning label on the bottom plate inside.

    Aluminum conquest

    Needless to say that I'd strongly recommend to check the (first) 2.7 for leaks. I don't know if this should be considered just as the recapping of older Macs; it's possible that all the LCS (at least the dual core models) start to leak at some point, so it would maybe be a good idea to overhaul...

    Aluminum conquest

    Hi and congratulations for your haul! The dual 2.7 should be an early 2005. You should have a look at this: http://www.cwu.edu/~pruittj/powermac_g5.pdf There are also pdf manuals for the other G5 generations on the net. I've not looked yet, maybe this model has diagnostic LEDs on the...

    Look what I found in the woods!

    Wow! That's the kind of find I'd love to make! :) Great!

    Power Macintosh 4400/200: no graphics

    Hi! The "battery pack" I had to make with 3  1.5V batteries apparently started to leak (at least it is completely corroded at the connections)! No idea why! Good thing I put it in a small plastic bag, no damage. I just made another one. The total voltage should be 4.5 of course, but I get 4.8V...

    XBHS1997's finds, saves and conquests

    I know the struggle. :D I once started making printed spec lists for every of them... Now I take pics (System and sticker on the case) and put them in folders, one folder for each Mac.

    XBHS1997's finds, saves and conquests

    Not hard. :) Here are the colours. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMac_G3#/media/File%3AIMac_G3_flavors.jpg The first ones, Rev. A and B (233) are only Bondi! No others! Bondi is darker than the later Blueberry! Then came Rev. C 266 and D 333 in the 5 colours. Bondi had disappeared. These...

    XBHS1997's finds, saves and conquests

    They have the usual 3.6v batteries. I personnally never saw a leaked one. Maybe because they're not that old yet? I changed the PRAM battery 3 times in TL. Needs more disassembly (the board/drives carrier needs to be removed) but I prefer it. And over 10 times in SL. The first time I did it, I...
