    Restoration CD for market software

    All the booklets from Volume 4 ~ Volume 11 are all distorted like that. Booklets look OK in Volumes 1 ~ 3 & 12 ~ 16. That's just weird! However, if memory serves me correct, support services seemed "rushed" and chaotic when the Market products came out. Appreciate the follow-up @adespoton

    Pseudo-Mac mini G3

    That has been my go to method if connecting an external display does not work. We have ran many Apple laptops "headless" because the logic board does not work with any display, however these were mostly Intel-based and newer. It still should work on G3 & G4 laptops though. Keep in mind that if...

    Picked up a few macs, don't know where to start

    😘 Wow, that is the hoard of plenty!!! Tons of work there, but most will never see that amount of old equipment at one time, ever. The "white box" custom builds normally do not resell all that great complete, but I've found many incredible desirable components inside to sell off on eBay. All...

    Yes there are User Guides in front of each CD case. It appears they are all the same. I'm planning on getting that added as well to MG link... hopefully soon.

    Restoration CD for market software

    Hearing others enjoying this once missing resource is thanks enough! 😊 I still can't believe that no one else had those discs. My mind is blown! 🤯 Is this true? I assumed they were good to go. I .iso imaged those 6 Discs as well when I was doing the Market Series set. LMK

    Restoration CD for market software

    GREAT NEWS!!! Much thanks to @MrFahrenheit @dougg3 @Fizzbinn @adespoton on guiding me on the best method to upload the Complete CD Market Series Restore, Set of 16 Volumes, to MG. Yes, there are 16 discs, not just 10 as the printed guides state. These guides were designed for on-site...

    G5 quad. Is it dead?

    Sorry, the LCU Dual processors were replaced as a set like the picture you saw on DVWarehouse. We never tried pulling one processor to help isolate on this model as the manual specifically says not to do this.The other G5 models you could swap these around and see what changed, that's why I...

    G5 quad. Is it dead?

    I'm not certain which model you specifically have, so I threw out info to be aware of when working on G5's. The June 2004 model had V1, V2, V3 processors that had to match. Mismatching produced a single processor unit instead of dual. Looks like the 2005 models did not do the different processor...

    G5 quad. Is it dead?

    If memory serves me correctly, myself and other techs would only install one CPU to see if the machine reacts differently or even boots up. So go for it. On some G5's, there were multiple versions of the processor modules (not just speeds) and they had to match (e.g. two V2 or two V3). Mismatch...

    Laserwriter II Ozone Filter

    From the HP LaserJet II / III Service Manual (same Canon engine as the Laserwriter II series): "Ozone Emissions: General - The corona assemblies found in laser printers and photocopiers generate ozone gas (O3) as a by-product of the electrophotographic process. Ozone is only generated while the...
