I haven't tried that just yet. Most of the time my laptop automatically sets a secondary display to show what the main display is showing. I've also tried using the display on my B&W G3 Powermac and got nothing on it either. I still have yet to open the case on it. It seems like quite the...

Best thing to do would either go on eBay or look around pawn shops and check with computer recyclers. I got mine for free from a recycler that I befriended in my computer electronics class :p Since he doesn't know much about Macs, I get them for free as long as I fix them up and give them to...

$200 is way too steep for a 700MHz :O My 800MHz wouldn't even sell for $100 I hope you get that eMac. A lot of people don't seem to like them, but I absolutely love mine. it even took my PC's place on my desk :p I use it for everything.

Brightness and contrast did nothing. It was one of the first things I checked :O I wish it was a simple fix like that. It would save me the hassle of moving these big things around.

I think that's kinda nifty. If I had one of those suckers, I'd put whatever awesome new guts would fit in it without the guilt of tearing apart an iMac :p That or make a cool little bed for my cats.

I would love to have it fixed, but shippong the 70lb monster would be so expensive... The 17" is dead now. Doing the same thing the 21" does. From what I've found on the internet is that it's a specific part that went bad. Like a capacitor, resistor, something of that nature....

I'd check out the logic board. Make sure there aint any corrosion or, by some off chance, a leaking cap. I had a similar problem with the cd drive on my 580. It would either not work at all, or it would open, take a disk, then not read it. Once I put in my Apple Legacy Disk and updated the...

I've been going by the building every day since they said they would give me access... Seems like KCS kicked them off the job or something... I haven't seen anyone working in the building, only near it moving steel beams so they could repair the rail road tracks. I did learn about a secret back...

I'm thinking about bumping it up to 350MHz. The Radioshack website says the jumpers I need are available in store. I should look into it. On a more on-topic subject, I found a copy of Mac Photoshop CS. I'm going to try and snag it and install it on my eMac and see how it runs. It should be good...

I'm considering overclocking my B&W. Should be a simple jumper switch, right?

I decided against using the B&W for art. I ended up giving it to my sister. I took the hard drive that was in it and swapped it for one that came out of an iMac that booted into Panther. I didn't like the lag even after I expanded it to 512MB of RAM, so I guess I'll be using the eMac. I...

I just got a 300MHz B&W G3 Power Mac that my recycler friend pulled from a Catholic School. I was thinking of using it for low-end digital art after upgrading it to OS 9 or X. My biggest concern with it are: A- If my tablet is incompatible. I know it has a disk with Mac drivers, but I don't...

Gah. No luck finding what's wrong with this one > :( I got a 17 inch CRT display with a Blue and White G3 Power Mac I got today. The display that came with it acts like it's about to die. If I turn it on while connected to the computer, the display makes a clicking sound and wiggles...

I haven't gotten around to testing it just yet. I should try doing that when I get home. If it turns out it's the chip, then I'll either find someone who can replace it and recap the board or just invest in a new board entirely. I was hoping it would be a simple fix since I have never done any...

The floppy drive never worked for me. It would sound like it was trying to read/write, but just couldn't. It detects floppies, says they're unrecognized then try to format/initialize. After it was done, it would say it failed and eject the floppy. I'll unplug the floppy and try booting from the...

I still have yet to get the call :-/ Apparently they have to wait for the railroad company that possessed the building to unlock it. I did return to the shed next it it and pulled out two more G3 iMacs. The cases are in terrible shape, but the components still look good. Atleast I hope they...

This problem just started the other day :O After many failed attempts to network my Classic to my other Macs and a disassemble to clean the floppy drive, the Classic doesn't want to boot. It'll turn on, chime, then stay on a grey screen with the cursor. I can move the cursor around, but...

I believe I downloaded that firmware update. Let me check my jumpdrive to make sure I snagged it. If I did get it, how would I go about installing it? :-/

Hopefully this Monday I'll be given access to the building that computer recycler was locked out of. There should be some of the following: Apple ][s of various models Apple ///s Macintosh Classics A potential Lisa, Lisa 2, or Macintosh XL (I really hope there's atleast one) Loads of G3...

Sounds good to me :)
