I've got this PB G4, it boots just fine most times and tends to get to the desktop, seemingly fine, however after a few minutes it kernel panics, then sometimes shows an openfirmware error, displaying a memory issue. Apple Hardware Test reported no faults. I've tried without an external dimm to...
very true. i also don't drive, although i do get around a lot on my e-bike! unfortunately train tickets to get to london (the place where most listings are) are just too much to justify it. if i lived in the south it would be great, as i can see many macs in and around london which are listed...
I wish I had another compact mac!! I've been looking at SEs and SE/30s but in the uk it seems like there's hardly any available and they're all way too much...
Success! I finally figured out what was wrong with my Mac, and I've now recapped it again with smaller caps, now everything works!
Except the hard drive :( it seems to have died while I was working on this project, but oh well, I have a PiSCSI board on the way so it won't be an issue for long...
I replaced only the ones on recap-a-mac, and I currently have the originals back in because I thought the ESR might be an issue, because I know the caps worked before, just slowly
i already tested the opto and it seems fine, should the diodes have continuity going one way and not the other? just need to check because i can't find any working ones
Recapped this analog board because it took minutes to charge up the caps and to get to a working voltage, however since recapping I only get the issue described in the title. The same issue occurs with and without the logic board, and I’ve also recapped that too. Any ideas?
