Cannot get to print to this e260dn from Mac OS 9, while it is correctly seen by the same Mac when running OS X. In this specific case the Mac is a PowerBook G3. I installed the OS 9 printer software from the Lexmark site.

This PLW12/640 receives the print queue, green led blinks regularly, gets the sheet but then stalls as if a second series of rollers isn’t activated. The sheet is indeed only partially picked up from the tray. Any suggestions ?

When I discovered this defect on two of the best PowerBook in my basement I was shocked… Then, slowly I am fixing it. Here some pictures and some hints: https://www.ispezioneperugia.it/mac/start/lcd-vinegar-syndrome-fix/

Is this lcd fixable?

I found that the safer way to make bootable classic OSs CD is to burn them with Toast on a Mac running Classic OS. In particular I use a fast G3 running Mac OS 9.2.2 and burn good quality CDs at 16x, a good compromise for speed and reliability. Now the questions: are there solutions to burn...

This PB1400c/166 boots fine and installs 8.0, 8.1 and beyond, but I cannot get to boot off 7.6. I also redownloaded all 1400 specific 7.6 from Macintosh garden. I also tried to install a clean install from those CDs after booting off 8.1, but either way the 1400 says that the system os not...

I have an heavily upgraded Power Macintosh 7600 (https://www.ispezioneperugia.it/mac/68k/Power_Macintosh_7600.html), it has served for many years as my daily machine (from 1996 to 2003, up to Mac OS X via XPostFacto) and was then replaced by a G5 in 2003. After a few years in storage I decided...

I recall, long ago, being able to use Airport on PowerBook 5300ce and a Wavelan lucent (which, being basically an Airport with antenna is recognized by Airport software) by installing the relevant file extracted with TomeViewer. I have now tried with Mac OS 8.6, 9.0 and 9.1 and AP 1.2 and 1.3.1...

I have a VST Zip module that used work flawlessly on both 190 and 5300ce. Now after several years of non use I had to fix a series of troubles, from vinegar syndrome to plastic case damages and hinges. Well, out of a complete collection of 190/5300 (190 bw, color, 5300 bw, vga and supervga, and...

As per subject, is there any VPN client for 10.5?

The iMac G5 has a power button on the back cover that shorts two pin located on a switch soldered to the logic board. The switch is broken and I can only power the iMac using the power pads.    Cannot get to locate this part in the market. Any hints?

Are these temperatures in °C normal? The peaks are when Mail sends a message:

I have just calibrated a G5 2.7 and a G5 2.0 after a 2.5 transplant. ASD says tads out of range or other amenities, but once booted off OS X both macs are quite and everything works as it should. In the past I kept running ASD and thermal calibrations over and over after reseating and swapping...

I am trying to get onto the internet this PB100 running System 7.0.1up via MacTCP via fixed IP. It can print to a networked LaserWriter 12/640, but no internet, no email, no ftp, not even network time. I recall working flawlessy when I had dsl, but now with gigabit fiber I believe that something...

While at my project of fixing my busted G5 collection (accumulation) I discovered that some 2x2.0 GHz configurations have a logic board with the plug for the pump, so I assume that the upgrade of these units with 2.5 or 2.7 GHz processors (the only cooled by liquid excluding later dual) is...

I have some known good early 2005 logic board but short of 2.7 GHz liquid cooled processors (I believe they are all gone by now). Is the swap of 2.0 processors feasible?

I flashed this G3 B&W and installed a G4 processor, adjusted the jumpers for the new bus/frequency combination and now it runs OS X 10.4 decently, but I cannot get to install any classic Mac OS. Should I go back to G3 for this?

I am about to recap this logic board but the capacitor at C104 has a lifted pad and one mosfet (is it a mosfet) is missing. Two questions: 1) where can I get to continuity to the missing pad? 2) Cannot get to find this NEC J143 mosfet.

How come? I decided to service the LCS of a working G5. I removed the processors from the LCS and left the thing for several months. Yesterday when I finally completed the LCS refill and hoses and o-rings replacement and reassembled everything: nada, no boot, no led, no noting. PSU is fine...

I am definitively sorting our sone busted stuff: 1) vinegar syndrome and liquid crystals leakage (vinegar syndrome could be fixed by replacing the polarized film, but this specific LCD had also the purple spiderweb called LCD rot: after taking apart the whole LCD and removal of plastic...
