Yeah, I learned my lesson. I’ve hot plugged vga monitors in before in other computers but that was mostly due to the connection being loose.

I did edit it to say that it does work. The way I tried it was hot plugging the monitor into the DB-15 connector which I’m guessing is why it didn’t work the first time. But it works now after rebooting.

Hello all, and happy new year! I’ve decided to start messing with my Beige G3, which is quite an upgraded model with a sonnet 500mhz G4, ATi Rage 128 with a DVD decoder, and running MacOS 10.4 Tiger thanks to XPostFacto. But that’s decides the point. I’ve had a spare Multiple Scan 14” display...

Hello everyone, my PowerMac G4 quicksilver is coming along well. One of the things I’ve added to it is a modern-ish Edimax USB dongle with a Realtek chipset that’s known to work with Powermacs (V1 of the EW-7811UN). However, it doesn’t connect to the internet. The wireless network utility that...

Okay, I’m guessing it doesn’t have to be the exact optoisolator? Those exact Motorola ones apple used are very difficult to find, at least in my research.

Hello everyone, this is an issue with a computer in my collection that’s been on my nerves for months, and that’s a Macintosh Plus with a dead analog board. It makes the usual audio queue of a dead analog board (a fast, high pitched chirping) and the flyback transformer has seen better days as...

Update: I’ve tried using Deoxit and that didn’t work. One method came up with and tried is wedging pieces of folded up paper between the modules, but that didn’t work either. I don’t have Kapton yet, so I can’t try that method.

If I’m reading this correctly, and sorry if I sound dumb, but I should put the tape on the blank side of the SIMM, so the side without any chips.

Okay, I’ll do that sometime this week and report back on what happened. I wonder, would cleaning the slots with IPA and a toothbrush work as well?

Gotcha. I’m guessing I just really have to push them into the socket without breaking the clips?

Hello, I have recently gotten a Macintosh SE/30 from a family member for the wonderful price of free! It’s been recapped and works very well, and I would like to do a Ram upgrade on it to around 32mb. However, one of the sets of sticks I got (the 16mb PurpleRAM set) doesn’t seem to be...

I bought it off of Bonanza, it’s a custom-made one using I think a dual 1GHz card as a base, with the two CPUs replaced with 1.33ghz 7455s. Also after reseating it, it will boot into the OS 9 installation CD I’ve been using as a test as long as it’s a cold boot. If the CPUs are hot, it’ll...

Hello all, I finally was able to upgrade my Quicksilver with a Dual processor card. However, it doesn’t seem to work. It powers on and chimes, but it either shows a black screen, goes into open firmware and trying to boot from there gives a “Default Catch! Code=300” error, and if it tries to...

After reading through that link, I kinda understand. So after disabling pins 3 and 11, it should work although the ADC output won’t?

Hello! I’m new to the forum and this is my first post! Anyways, I was looking on eBay for a Mac compatible GPU for my quicksilver G4 since it only has a GeForce 2 and I don’t want to mess around with BIOS flashing, and I found a Graphics card from a Powermac G5, an ATi Radeon 9600XT (or Apple...
