Awesome. I'm going to pick up a G5 Tower next week. One more OS to run - and maybe actually use

Regarding printing metal hinges, albeit not for a Laptop. It is possible as can be seen in this blog article of a friend of mine: server cabinet with style - scroll down for pictures of the hinges. The text is german and english. They're made of steel and usually price is prohibitively...

Congratulations! This is great work!

That is pretty awesome!

True! Last year I recapped an Amiga 500 board and boy do these have good ground. It takes away heat faster than any board I've subjected to a soldering iron before. So I also tore off two pads. Luckily it is the ground pads that are problematic because of their heat capacity via the connected...

Ha and there I thought I posted the resolution already, but I didn't In my case the issue was fixed by changing the PP1 potentiometer. Also beware that I never had any boot issues - The machine beeped and booted just fine every time and the wobblyness was influnced by harddrive activity. This...

And there I always just use zinc spray to prevent corrosion. Yeah, I know I have no style ;) Looks awesome!

Congratulations! I bet is worth it! But hell on earth? Yeah it is not the easiest thing to do, but I have experienced worse things to take apart :)

And if that does not help, you can change this one too. I have experienced that already.

Yes, that is the case. Still this is the option for the fastest graphics cards in G4 Powermacs. Not so much the Radeon 9600 (It is one of the slower G5 graphics options, I also have one) - but in general.

It is a AGP 8x card and will not work without modification in your G4. You can tape the pins 3 and 11 to make it work (as an AGP 4x card) Have a look here: http://themacelite.wikidot.com/pins-3-and-11 And of course, it is not supported under MacOS 9

I'm eager to hear the resolve of this. Hope you get there!

Maybe, just maybe the RAM sucked that little more current to push the PSU over the edge. It's a possibility but more likely it was just a coincidence. 5V RAM in a 3.3V socket should not break anything otherwise.

Shotgun debugging. If nothing else works 😀

Maybe the pp1 is bad? I did not have the checkerboard but a wobbly screen with low voltages after recap. Have a look at this thread: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/mac-classic-with-a-wobbly-screen-after-recap.37909/

Open it up and get the battery out as soon as possible! Good Luck!

No immediate idea, but which Mac System version are you running? I don't remember specifics, but I was never able to get this working under OS 8 or 8.1 7.5.x works fine though.

Usually I'm lazy and just start a FTP Server on my linux machine using a python one-liner (sharing the local directory) python3 -m pyftpdlib For download only, I might also use http: python3 -m http.server This only works for packed files (StuffIt etc.) because Resource Forks are lost but it...

I always measure voltages first, because it can be done without opening the case. But they do look fine indeed, so solder joints are a good thing to check next. Then its components

As long as your fan is working and not too loud for your taste, you don't have to swap it.
