I seem to recall that you can install the Quadcontrol control panel for the Daystar Turbo 040 card even if you don't have the card installed, and it has a setting to skip the memory test on bootup.  That ring a bell with anyone else?  I'm afraid my SE/30 is not set up at the moment so I am...

Wow, looks like tons of good info there. Thank you very much!

I have the PC version of the Radeon 9800 pro video card purchased as an upgrade for my G4 AGP (Sawtooth). I bought it from eBay as the description said it was the Mac version. Anyway, I understand it can be flashed to work in the Mac and found instructions at a couple of sites but they are not...

Well I already have the G4 and am just looking to upgrade it only if I can find parts cheap. I'll keep an eye out.

I have a saved search set up. Now to wait. Thanks.

Hello, I scored a 400Mhz sawtooth and don't know too much about this machine. it has OSX 10.2 installed. I have found CPU upgrades that will take it up to 1.6 Ghz, but they cost an arm and a leg. I have maxed out memory but if I can find a CPU upgrade that would be great. Any recommendations...

I found a replacement logic board on eBay. All is good. The LCD was fine after all.

Upon further examination, LED3 does not light up, indicating it cannot talk to the video system. Could be bad caps or a logic board. I guess I'll start looking for a logic board.

I was thinking the one I am working on may be a bad cap issue too. I guess I will have to pull the logic board and find out. Not sure I want to get that far into it.

Yes, it bongs! I held a flashlight to it last night but didn't see anything. I will try another, brighter flashlight tonight. It's the 17" model.

You will need a special tool to separate the bezel from the back. Luckily I found this info on how to make one out of an old gift card and it worked like a charm: Good luck! P.S. I was able to recover her photos (no backup, from 2006 to present) by plugging the iMac's SATA drive into my...

I am trying to fix an iMac "Core 2 Duo" for a friend. The hard drive is making the "click of death" but also there is no video displayed on the screen. Not a flicker of any light. I am not sure if replacing the LCD will fix it, or if the problem is on the logic board, but I thought if I...

Yeah you have to watch out for this. Back in the day, people upgraded their machines with 4MB (or larger) simms, and put the original old 1MB simms into the box or package that the 4MB simms came in. Fast forward 20+ years and they come across a package containing what appears to be 4MB simms...

Nice write-up and photos, thanks for going through all that trouble. Gary

Nice score! Heck the Daystar card is easily worth > $100 all by itself! Let us know if you find any interesting oddities in the diskettes.

Sweet!

About $150 looks like. let us know how it works! http://dreher.net/?s=projects/CFforAppleII&c=projects/CFforAppleII/FAQ.php Gary

Neither link worked for me :-( I will ask the google, thanks!

Ok I will however it may be a winter project. Too many items on the honey-do list before I get to actually play around with the Macs. :-) Can someone point me to "the guage series" ?

Wow, thanks for the time and info everyone! So, who wants the card? I don't have a monitor to test it with and really don't want to mess with finding one. My buyer's remorse will be your gain! lol Just pay shipping plus promise to update this post with any info you find out about it so we...
