Awesome save and score!!!! It's the only Apple machine that I don't remember coming through our shop. Has to be rare as hens teeth. The knowledge and love for these old Apple computers on here never ceases to amaze me! WOW

:oops: That looks like a hot mess!!! Does Q18 have a hole in it? If it was me, I'd be looking for another Logic Board.

Sweet score!!! Thought I recognized that loading extension icon... its a NewerTech card. :cool:

* working mostly from memory, so incorrect info may be present* The W8 start of an iMac serial number was common across many models. The iMac g5 (iSight) 17" clearly had an issue with vertical lines developing, even in the warranty period. I do not recall APL having an official program for it...

@obsolete Looks totally legit. Nice Score!

Yes - Cable Select both devices

You are 100% correct. Apple only had one Power Supply Module part number 661-0370 that covered ALL power supplies used in both the Mac SE and SE/30. It's the OEM way.

The MDD will work with 1 DIMM installed. I would also start it up without any DIMMs installed - you should get a beep and the front LED to flash. If it does not change (meaning zombie), then you either have a bad CPU , mobo, or bad combination of parts. There were many versions of the MDD 167Mhz...

Every PC-133 512MB 168-pin DIMM I have in my known-good Mac stash are double-sided. Just upgraded an iMac G3 slotload with two of these 512MB's and it works just fine, so it should work fine with your iMac too. However, I know Apples can be picky or quirky at times. I ALWAYS reseat memory...

Disconnect the IDE ribbon cable to the HD and see if the cd boots. If so, check your HD jumper settings as it should be Master not Slave or CS. If memory serves me correct, CS (cable select) wasn’t used until the G4’s.

@David Cook That's awesome and it was NEW too where mine is heavily used. It does feel heavy - weighs 2.5 oz. I just used it again, for the first time in decades, on a Mac SE/30 and YES it does work like butter once an adjustment was made! Also used it to remove the ROM SIMM too. It was...

Gotcha ;), so it was a WIN-WIN for everyone! Even better

Awesome score!!! And you negotiated a lower price to boot - WOW I’m impressed I have to practice my poker face a lot more.

I recreated the image with actual tools 😁 Yes, we actually used the SIMM Tool since breaking the customer's clip(s) was a big no-no. These retaining clips were fragile even when NEW!!!
