You're right CC. You nailed what machine technically is the closest. I thought i saw the lombard system I have come close to another machine. At least I have been enlightened about that. I believe they use the same chipset and the like as well. Same ATA bus/etc...

Excuse me? yes it does. The only difference is how the screen is hooked up. It goes through the Whisper/Personality card on that header with the clips. In fact it's so similar, I transfered mine to a G3 minitower which eissenfaust88 here on the forum has. I also upgraded it with a G4 Zif. It's...

Fixed. for the most part. washing the board and then drying with a heat gun allowed me to get it up. The solder dc jack has been resoldered. Installing 10.4 on it now

My friend used to own an iBook G4 1.2Ghz 14" a long time ago before both he and i got macbooks He ended up giving his old iBook to his sister and yesterday it came back to me. It's broken, and when I took it apart, I found that not only was crap spilled into it (the case looks like crap as well...

one of our members (and a close personal friend) might be interested in that 8500 PSU. I went with him to pickup an 8600 and I think the 8500 PSU might work in it if I am thinking right. either that, if you have an 8600 PSU that you could size/find he would probably be interested in that...

I have had a varying quality of ADB cables, but over time as they get bent/twisted it seems to degrade as it either breaks the RF shielding strands in the cable causing interference, or sometimes it can degrade the connections of the wires to the pins. Now-a-days, ADB cables suck for S-Video...

Just out of curiosity, are you using a VGA monitor through an adapter on the machine? or an apple DB-15 monitor on DB-15 port? If using an adapter, change the adapter or use an apple monitor that doesn't require an adapter.

how about the CPU? Original or was it upgraded. The daughter card can't be from the Mach V machines as those will not work (such as the late 9600). The CPU itself could be causing your issue and I assume your reseated it as well. and you made sure it was all the way down? Also put a PCI...

They have displayport and Thunderbolt VGA adapters. You need one of them. I think $19 from apple. The Thunderbolt VGA adapters are crap from firsthand experience (requiring me to upgrade my mom's LCD on her new 2012 Mac Mini i5 to a DVI display via the HDMI port. The VGA refused to come out...

PRAM battery. If it's dead, it will not output video. I used to have one of these and a dead PRAM battery prevented the video from being displayed. Also, make sure the CPU card is fully seated (despite being based off the 6400/6500 this used a CPU DaughterCard). If it doesn't work then, try...

Also , if it's USB 1.1 I believe those G4's (non-2.0) were USB bootable. It would be slow, but a CD-ROM (IDE) on a USB adapter and/or USB combined DVD drive should be bootable. it seemed when 2.0 came out, apple removed it. Someone said through the Open-Firmware you could make a G4/G5 boot...

Most of the problem is that the CPU is involved in almost all bus transactions. Sound stuttering was common from CD-ROM when doing other things like HDD access because the CPU would have to halt what it's doing, and process audio from the IDE/SCSI Channel to send it through the processor just...

be careful. That optical drive is ATAPI. not SATA, which the MacBook Pros run SATA Drives. If you can somehow shoe-horn the SATA drive into the optical bay, and assuming they exist, you would have to find a way to interface with the Intel AHCI SATA ports, which you can't just parallel off...

Bunsen, so you know, my Ultra 320 74GB SCSI Drives use an adapter to go to 68-pin from 80-pin SCA. The adapter has a jumper you can set it into SE as well as TE options. I don't know of any Ultra 160 SCA-80 drives out there, do you? I might be wrong, however I do know my ultra320 hitachi...

I can help you with testing the controller. I posed a question a while back about the CPU Daughtercard and the chipset. the CPU module contains the chipset and from what I determined the IDE controller should be on the daughtercard, so swapping in another G3/G4 module should verify if it's the...

Keep in mind with some of those 2.5" SCSI Drives (later SCSI). Some of them used 12 Volts, especially the faster RPM models. Much like the WD Raptors and other SATA 2.5"/SAS 2.5" drives, they almost always required 12v, which the powerbooks did not provide (I still get a kick of the people on...

After thinking it over and talking with my dad, I decided to keep it. My dad really doesn't want it, and while I would rather have a different mac, I decided against selling it (as I am not sure what the future will hold or how long my macbook pro will hold up) and at least for the short term...

Well my mom has the new Mac Mini with 8GB RAM installed (it runs really well) and the iMac my mom had (late-2006, I need to make correction, has the ATI X1600 graphics (128MB VRAM) 2.0Ghz C2D) was supposed to go to my dad since he bought the replacement logic board to fix when the GPU died...

no, they will read any - or +R disc if finalized. after that it's readable on any DVD drive that can read burned discs. It will only burn +R or -R if it supports. Once it's finalized, it will read any format. Chances are the laser is out of focus or is dying (it could either be the laser or...
