Truth! What I have is an Asian generic, and it's just... nope. Is this what I'm looking for? Also, when looking for something else I came across Apple Rescue of Denver. It's a repair shop that also sells computers and parts, and they seem to have a pretty wide selection. I'm considering buying...

That'd explain why I haven't been able to find a good yoyo brick! :lol:  I honestly don't know if there are any sellers in my area (southeast Wyoming), but I'll take a look. Thank you!

I saw that video, and read in the comments that he did exchange it and the replacement worked perfectly. So I'm leaning towards that option, but want to know if anyone more knowledgeable than me has input. :) I'm also confused on what power adapter is the best option. The white bricks all...

I was cleaning my bedroom today, and when I was taking stuff downstairs I saw my iBook. I've had it for a few years, and it works but needs some cleaning, a new battery, and a replacement power adapter (it came with a generic third party adapter that doesn't fit well enough). Apparently there...

This case is closed, and I figured y'all would like to know how it went! The hard drive was indeed the culprit. But despite how bad the problem was (Sad Mac and no drive activity), the drive's not totally dead! My friend has an empty external hard drive case and a SCSI to IDE adapter. We were...

The hard drive does seem suspect, Miranda did say that it was noticeably slower the last few weeks and she got more bombs than usual. There was no hard drive activity during my tests either, though I can't recall when it spins up during a normal boot. I was able to borrow one known good stick of...

That page is super helpful, thank you! I should be able to borrow some SIMMs for testing, and I've been thinking of maxing out the RAM anyways so if it does turn out to be a SIMM problem it's a perfect excuse to do that. ;)

It's well overdue for a recap, like all of my Macs. My fiancee and I were planning on having a recap/bomb battery removal party sometime this summer, but she passed away in May and of course I don't know how to solder yet so I can't do it myself. :(  I'll try to get some logic board pics this...

Hey y'all! Hope everyone's been doing alright! Life has been insane for me the last couple of years (especially this one...), so my Macs have kinda taken a back burner until tonight. My oldest daughter officially inherited my beloved Performa, and when she went to play some games a couple of...

Well, that was a big cup of nope! It didn't go into the Open Firmware prompt, and it didn't reset the PRAM either (assuming that the repeated startup sound is still the confirmation that the reset happened?). There's always the possibility that I just suck at Mac combos after primarily using...

The C key didn't work either, sadly. Which is making me suspicious too that something else is acting up. What other component failures would allow the computer to boot enough to recognize a startup disc but prevent it from going farther than the Apple logo?

Hi all! Sorry about the lack of updates. My back is going bad again, making it very difficult to sit in a chair to use the Mini the way it's set up. A few weeks ago I bought a legit DVD from a fellow forum member (thank you again! :) ), and yesterday I finally was able to sit long enough to...

That seems to be sold out, unfortunately. :(

Oh, the joys of eBay! The DVD I ordered came in the mail a couple days ago, much earlier than anticipated. Today I opened it up and immediately started laughing. The seller stole the obviously fake image from mactuition, which itself looks shady. It seems like there's multiple levels of...

Alright! :D  It's on its way here, not too excited about the long wait but considering I was expecting to have to deal with a lot of monitor drama I really shouldn't complain (but I will anyways ;) ).

Ah, thanks for telling me that Leopard and Snow Leopard are different things! LOL It's pretty obvious that I've lived in the realm of the classic OS forever... :lol: Is this the correct one? :)

Thank you! Snow Leopard it is, then. I'm hoping to someday be able to get a proper recording system going with one or more of my Macs, and maybe hook my old Casio keyboard up to one of them. That's been a project in the works for years now, deciding what equipment I need is confusing. The...

The Mac arrived today! I got it all set up with one of my ancient DVI HP monitors, and it turns on and has a display. But that's as far as it gets, it stops at the flashing ? folder. Which means there's a possibility that the hard drive's toast after all that time in storage. I'm assuming it's...

Thank you all! In the listing the previous owner said that (s)he already upgraded it to have 1GB memory (and included the original RAM, which appears to be included in the box), and the listing also says that it's a 160GB hard drive instead of the 80GB drive mentioned in the specs. If it works...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/253951401228? This is going to be arriving at my house around November 7th! The seller said that its working condition is unknown, but I have high hopes. There's one problem, though. The purchase doesn't include a monitor, keyboard, or mouse. Does anyone have any...
