The screen doesn't flash, the white led under the screen does. I think you are right about the memory. I found that 1 beep = memory problem, but I don't think its the actual memory. I tried 2 different known good sticks in each slot, and it still wouldn't boot. I think there must be a problem...

Got a Titanium PowerBook G4 (A1025) that has issues. Symptoms: Turning it on results in a Beep, then the led comes on, then flashes twice, then steady for a little while (couple of seconds), then flashes twice again. keeps doing that until you turn it off. No display. No picture or...

Added a Titanium PowercBook G4 to the collection, but it has issues. :(

Picked up another G3 today. This one had memory and a video card :)

Checked back today, and there were 2 iMacs out for disposal. The green/blue tray loader and a (indigo?) slot loader. I left them there. Have enough stuff to keep me busy.

I was reading the other day that a two finger tap on the track pad is a right click.

Picked up a 520 last week, and a B&W G3 tower this week. My work is having its annual, "dump your old computer gear at the IT department for disposal" event. Also got some hard drives SD ram and a couple of P4's so I can retire my P3's. Someone had raided the video card and ram out of the...

I have an old CPiA. Was my first (second hand) laptop. I upgraded it to the P2 500mhz processor (was a P1 333mhz i believe), and picked up a docking station and dvd drive for it too. Drives are swappable as you probably know. Put a new HD in it which sped things up alot. Had a wireless card...

Had a TI 99-4a when I was a kid. The beige one, not the black & silver one.

Haha. Yeah I know what thats like. Just saw a Cube I want to buy, even though I don't need it and wouldn't use it much. I have 2 iBooks. Had a wallstreet in excellent condition, that I now regret selling, and a black apple keyboard & mouse to go with it too. I tried 12 volts to the battery...

So to clarify, the two at the top are 16V and the bottom two are ground?

Alternatively, maybe I can hook up some volltage to the battery connectors? Just until I can work out if the machine is dead or alive. The battery has 4 contacts. top edge is -ve bottom is +ve. What are the 2 other contact between the 2 for ?

Hi I rescued a 520 from the scrap pile at work yesterday, but I couldn't find the power adapter. I found an apple pdf that says it takes 16 volts, but I need to know which pins are positive and which pins are ground. Looking at socket there are 4 pins in a square configuration eg: . . . ...
