BEHOLD MY ELITE SKILLS! (Vishay Wirewound Resistor, 4 Ohm, 1W, 5% - CW0014R000JE70) Mac sounds good still with the resistor in place. I decided not to put the heat shrink on the resistor itself as a way to help it keep cool. But I covered the solder joint on the wire. I have no clue if this was...

"A 4ohm, 1 watt resistor" So wire that in like: (+)---(resistor)---speaker (-)-----------------| I know essentially nothing about electronic circuits ... (obviously) XD

Hrm what if I keep the volume very low?

Is that a G4?

Try running it through the website What The Font.

Original speaker is an oval 70x40mm Regal brand 8ohm 2-watt. Was extremely quiet and distorted. I replaced it with a new oval HP Internal Computer Speaker 1.5W 40mm x 70mm 629783-001 speaker. I bought it from Prime Electronics on ebay (https://www.ebay.com/str/primeelectroniccomponents ) Quick...

I just tried disabling all extensions/control panels excpet for some ATI video extensions and the bare minimum extensions needed for CDs to work. But the problem persists.

Hello. I have a blue and white G3/400 running macOS 8.6 and when I put an audio CD into the mac, it will play, pause and stop the CD but won't allow me to change tracks. It will play all the tracks in order. But I can't skip forward or backward to different tracks while it's playing. If I am...

Mac user since 1993 or so. Macs I have owned at one point in time or another include the IIci, 8100/100, SE/30, Powerbook Duo 230, Powerbook 160, iBook G3/700, blue and white G3/400, 2011 MacBook Pro 13", 2015 MacBook Pro 13", and 2020 MacBook Air M1.

Oh man I already solved my problem. Best G3 problem ever! Per the G3 service manual pdf, page 121 (front panel board): "Replacement Note: Power cable P4 connects to the front panel board." I had no power cable plugged into the board. And the Mac works fine (other than the lack of LED lighting...

I noticed the power LED light on my G3 isn't working. Anyone have any tips on this issue? It's not a big deal but ... lights <3 <3 <3 !!!

My guess: Pez dispenser.

I uploaded the CDROm image of the CD I purchased btw: https://www.macintoshrepository.org/54755-macos-8-5-8-5-1-for-power-macintosh-g3-1998-provenance-to-be-verified- And here's the 8.6 update...

Is the ram the correct RAM type for this mac? My blue and white G3 was crashing too frequently and randomly. Every 1-4 hours maybe. I did two things that fixed the problem but I don't know which actually solved the problem, ha ha. The first: I bought an official MacOS install CD off ebay...

I'd zap PRAM. I'm cribbing off my Blue and White G3 service pdf here page 228. (there might be one for the beige g3 on the internet, too!) Verify power switch on correct voltage (120/220. 120 for u.s. pretty sure. Check jumper block for CPU speed, make sure it's right. Reseat cpu. Reseat memory...

OK I appreciate the response. Pretty amazing you can do that on a Mac. I looked into that and SCSI and OWC's SSD legacy drive and eventually just decided to go with a 30GB Maxtor DiamondMax 8 IDE drive I found new in box on ebay for $20.

The business is still in the same building as far as I know. I can see it on google maps. But I've not been inside for more than a decade. Don't know if those old Macs are still there ... stacked in a closet or something. Or if they're using Macs at all now. They probably are coz #newspapers.

Yah that 7500 woulda been just four or five years old at the time of this photo. I recall it being ballpark state of the art back then. There was also a 6100 which -- even in the late 1990s -- struck me as awfully slow. It's in the dark room in the front and to the right (can't see it.) There's...

You are correct. That would have been around 1999-2001 or so.
