    Nvidia geforce 4 ti4600 repair

    I am working through issues on one of these ti4600 mac cards. It boots, but rarely gets to a mac desktop. The one time it was stable enough, I switched to 256 colors and had a lot of randomized noise on the screen. Only the dvi port works, nothing out adc. There are a few missing caps as well...

    Slow down Quadra for compatibility

    Surprised I wasn’t able to find anything on this- I am trying to run a serial video capture peripheral that is verified on an SE, but captures digital noise on a quadra. It was suggested it is out of sync due to software that might be tied to clock speed like some old games that run too fast...

    Koala MacVision- noise captured

    Quadra 605 no bootup

    Quadra 605 has been solid for months. Forgot to reinstall the microSD card in Bluescsi, flashing question mark on startup. Turned off, reinstalled, startup chime, gray screen, cursor freezed after 1 second, doesn’t boot. Removing everything I can from the system, pram/reset switch doesn’t help...

    MDD waking instantly from sleep

    Until recently, this MDD dual 1.4 would sleep reliably. Recently when I put it in sleep it wakes back up before the fans have the chance to spin all the way down. Trying to backtrack what has changed. Have you encountered this behavior? Any ideas of what to try? Already disabled wake for network.
