Argh. The power supply I have is the one that fits the Clamshells and PB G3s. It's not something simple that like a pair of pliers could handle is it? (Thinking about the metal ring on the outside...) Kyle-

Hi all, Having just recently scored an iBook G4 ("Mid-2005") that kernel panics, I need a bit more info - specifically the power adapter. According to EveryMac Specs, the iBook uses a 45W power adapter. Apple shows this one, but all I have is a YoYo. Would the yoyo work the same as the white...

What's the model number and information on that Magnavox monitor? I've seen those before but never knew what model. Nice conquest! Kyle-

I like the idea of pre-OS X as well. Maybe the Beige G3s would be a bit of a grey area, but otherwise, that's a pretty good standard. Kyle-

Hi all, Some of you might remember my thread about the computer store that closed.... Well, here is what I brought home. iMac G3, Indigo, 2001 model. Screen burn in (Mac OS X log in screen), 384MB of RAM, no HD, CD-RW, and damaged plastics. $20 (i think) iMac G3 500MHz Snow, 2001 i think...

!! Ahh the Quadra 610. I'd say leave it in tip top shape. I'm very jealous of your conquest, just so you know :)

Hmm. Next, I would try to unplug the HD and any external SCSI devices. Turn the machine on with the HDD disconnected. See if you get a blinking ? disk icon. Try pulling the PRAM battery altogether. Try turning on the machine, and, at the chime, press command-control-power to restart the...

Oh, no! The Quadra 610 is one of my very favorite Macs. Sorry to hear about your trouble! The sound you are hearing is the death chime - which signals something is wrong with the Mac. First thing to do would be to pull the RAM and reseat it. Check your clock battery voltage, look for...

Woah. Wait. Now that I am more awake, it sunk in - why haven't you grabbed yourself a deal on those G4s? Offer him like $40 for everything. Even if he has the G4s inside out of the rain, maybe he would let them go. Kyle-

Nice job! And I would go back and snag at least the Centris 610. Well, and probably the rest of them, too. Kyle-

Update - Not a 10GB drive, or 128MB of RAM. In fact it's a ~30GB drive and 256MB of RAM! And, I'm dumb. The CD drive does NOT need any sort of caddy - I just didn't know how to put the CD in, haha. I guess they really screwed up in an attempt to reinstall the OS - there were the remnants of...

Well, it arrived today! FedEx is fast :) So I think it is a Sawtooth, as the video card is in a smaller, brown slot. It has VGA and DVI. Umm upon removing from the box, it rattled. Ugh. But, it was just a screw. Then it rattled again, a second screw. ::) Then, I applied power. It...

Hi all, I was browsing eBay a few days ago, thinking "Hmm, I have never owned a tower Mac. I want one." I was looking on eBay again today (at a relative's house, out on the porch, via someone else's wireless internet), and came across a G4 with free shipping. $50 shipped, in fact. Here's the...

Hmm, I had a similar experience with my iBook Clamshell. Here's the story, for what it's worth. I received an excellent battery with my clamshell - a BTI 4 hour battery. It ran great. I put the clamshell to sleep, and left it that way (not plugged in) for days. The battery was 'drained' when...

Alright, I looked around and went off a few different guides, and got all the useful parts pulled out of the iMac, and it all works! Now, does anyone have any ideas for a case? The one old PC case I have is awful - nothing fits. Thanks, Kyle-

Hi all, I just acquired an iMac G3 (266MHz, tray loader) that was suffocated by its previous owner (pictures to follow). The FBT is shot. Now, I know these can be put into a standard PC case with power supply, but I can't find the good guides on the 'net. (It's 2 AM here.) Anyone have a...

Hi All, I need an inventory/sales solution. I would like to be able to keep a log of all of my eBay purchases and details, the cost of fixing it, and how much I sold it for. I would also like to keep a record of customer repairs in the same way, and then print the record as a receipt. Now, I...
