I am currently restoring my 128K (which is throwing a RAM error), and I have the machine disassembled after months of it last being turned on. I was wondering if I could take out the PSU and CRT without needed to discharge anything. Also: what are the "danger zones" on the CRT and PSU? Thanks

Yeah, I know. Its been awhile... :p Anyways, my current "collection" of PRAM batteries pulled from other machines is starting to die on me left and right. For some of my computers (notably several older macs), they absolutely need working batteries to even boot up! So, I'm off to buy some...

Well, my 17" PBG4 (1.67, 2GB, 100GB, Super, Airport, BT, 10.5. 8) has decided not to work anymore. I was using it one day when all of the sudden, the power supply indicator light turned RED and it shut off (Note: I have tried several power supplies). I let it sit for a while, tried to turn it...

Does anybody know about these software packages? It seems like one of those things that might have failed, as I have never heard of it. Here is an article about it: CUPERTINO, Calif., Nov. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Double Impact Multimedia, a global multimedia publishing and distribution company...

Not too long ago, I picked up an IBM 5150 with keyboard, a couple of Okidata printers, and a bunch of manuals and disks (Including the Guide to Operations, BASIC, and DOS boxes), as well as a Princeton Monitor. Installed in the system are 2 5-1/4" Single Height Floppy Drives, a Single Height...

Some stuff I have collected from the last 6 months or so (I've been busy for a while!): 3x Powermac G5's: 2x S1.8 and 1x D2.0. Was planning on using these as a server, but they would take up too much electricity, so now I will probably sell/give them to family. 3x 20" Apple Cinema Displays...

I am having a problem with my 2005 Apple Cinema Display (a1081, 20"). When I plug it in and turn it on, all I get is a dark screen. There is also no indicator light activity. Just a blank screen and LED. I can tell that it is receiving power because the LCD will light up, and I can even adjust...

Well, my 17" Powerbook G4 battery doesn't seem to be working right. Sometimes, when I first boot up the machine after just being taken off of the charger, my laptop will barely have any more power left to do much of anything (I would give it about 5-10 minutes after that). However, if I already...

I am trying to get my Powermac G4 (1x500) to update, but it always gives me a 1001 error. I recently installed a larger Hard Drive, a 120GB Western Digital WD1200. I doubt that this has anything to do with the issues, although it is the only difference between getting updates and not getting...

In one of my earlier conquests, I received a couple of Apple IIes, one with a bunch of cards. I have been trying to gather info on some of these, but I still need some info on them. Some of these I just need original prices and such, but others don't even have a known function. Anyways, these...

As the title above states, I was wondering if 15" iMac G4 LCDs use the same internal display connector as the 17" LCDs, and if they are compatible with both 15" and 17" boards (Example: I am trying to connect a 15" LCD to a 17" iMac MoBo). The display connector on 15 and 17 inch models are in...

I have an iMac G4 (15", 800MHz, 60GB, 768MB, Superdrive, Airport) that I recently wiped and tried to reinstall the OS. I have tried many versions of Mac OS including 9 (Which is in fact compatible with this model), 10.0, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.5 (Which isn't compatible, but I tried anyways). I tried...

I just scored a 17" Powerbook G4 running Leopard with the following specs off of eBay: 1.67 Ghz 100 GB HD 2 GB Ram Superdrive It also came with an AC Adapter and a nice carrying case. Price: $272 with shipping (Probably too high, but I sold my Dell Laptop and needed a replacement). I...

I was debating on running Mac OS 9.1 on my Powermac 6100/66. Is that recommended? I imagine that it would be slow as molasses, even though I maxed out the ram to 72MB and have enough patience to not go insane.

I decided to buy an Xserve for a website that I am creating. The Xserve has two main purposes which are to, well, act as a server, as well as become an addition to my collection. Here are the specs: (2) Dual Core Intel Xeon Processors at 2.0 GHz, (2) Hot Swappable 80GB Hard Drives 4GB of Ram...

This is sort of a late/recent post smashed into one. A while back, I picked up the following: A couple of iMac G3s (Snow) 600 MHz, otherwise different. Mac OSX 10.3. Powermac G4 (DA): 500 MHz, 1.25 Mb, 80 GB, Zip, DVD-Ram. Mac OS 9 Lot of PC Parts, all boxed. MoBos, Ram, Drives, Modems, VGA...

I recently bought an iMac G3 to give to someone. When the computer is on for a while (About 30min-1hour), the backside gets VERY hot (Like touch it and it burns, especially if you are touching metal). I have already modded it by installing an internal fan to help keep it cool, but it still gets...

A while back, I bought a snow airport base station. I am trying to connect it to an iMac G4 via an airport card and an iMac G3 via ethernet to get on the internet. I eventually plan on having more macs connected, but for now I only need the G4. It appears that everything is set up right. In the...

How do you fix a Broken HD on a PBG3? I have tried reseting everything and reinstalling the OS to no avail. Thanks

I went back to Computer Works to get some stuff for my iBooks. After seeing that their Hard Drives and Ram were Overpriced and Batteries came with no warranty, I decided to look around for other stuff instead. Here is what I picked up: ($20) Snow Apple Airport Base Station: Included was the...
