Ok so yes, the computer bongs whenever it boots up. I did that thing with the lights, and only lights #1 and #2 light up. Light #3 stays off as well as #4. So would this further prove my theory of a dead video card or would it mean something else? Are there some steps I should try in order to...

Ok here are some pictures with the back off. The problem is that none of the videos on how to disassemble an iMac look like mine in the back. Im a little confused about that. Anyways if you need more detailed pictures of a certain area let me know. P.S. I already removed the ram

if i post some pictures of the logic board could you guys maybe help me identify a problem. I really don't know what I am looking for here. Thanks

So my family used an iMac G5 as our one and only computer for many years. In fact, my mom bought it like a week before the intel macs came out (even though she has been buying macs since the late 80's she isn't exactly an expert on the hardware side of things). It worked great until it broke...

If you can find a copy of it, a program called "Compact Pro" excels at splitting large files into smaller parts that can fit on floppies. Just make sure that Compact Pro is installed on both computers, the one that is making the floppies, and the one that will be reading them. I use Compact Pro...

Thanks guys, I'm seriously considering that card that Anonymous Freak linked.

Hello, I am looking to just get a quick answer on what to do in order to hook up my digital audio powermac to two displays. It is currently hooked up to an adc studio monitor. I have an acer monitor sitting around that takes vga input. Even though there are ports on the back of my mac for vga...

Its only a matter of time before one of those guys comes around here with their usual "snip". The site is a great idea, if only it wasn't under copyright.

This will be my last question for awhile, I promise. Ok so I decided to revert my quadra to 7.6.1. The installation was a success, but the computer fails to boot unless I hold shift to disable extensions at boot up. Otherwise, it spends a long time on the start up screen, and then proceeds to...

I would try that except my wireless router is upstairs with the house's main computer. The powermac and quadra are downstairs and the powermac is using an airport card. I could use airport express like someone stated earlier, but the two ethernet cables and hub would be only $20, while the...

Ok update. So i want to share an internet connection from my powermac g4 running 10.5.8 from wifi through an ethernet cable to my quadra 610. I plan on using an adapter that will convert the aaui-15 port on the back of my quarda to a standard one. I will then use two stand ethernet cables...

I just replaced the hard drive successfully. That really wasn't that bad. I am happy to report that my quadra is now running perfectly. No more problems at boot-up, or loud noises from inside of the computer. It is working flawlessly, even the cd caddy drive is working. So my quadra 610 problems...

So my replacement hard drive is arriving in a few hours and I wanted to know if there is a specific way to replace it with the defective one in my Quadra 610. Once I pull the case off and disconnect the two cables attached to the previous hard drive, can I just lift it out or are there screws...

Ok well I have ordered a replacement Hard Drive and it will get here later this week. Hopefully this will solve the problem but I will let you guys know how it turns out. Thanks.

Thank you Gorgonops. =) (Running OS 7.6.1) In regards to olePidgeon, are you saying I could use my airport express to receive the airport signal and then attach an ethernet cable from that to my quadra? Would that actually work?

So you are saying that maybe a better way to do this would be to have two regular ethernet cables, and use a 10mbs hub in between them. Correct?

Ok well lets say the powermac g4 is a 733 mhz Digital Audio and that it will probably be running leopard by the time my ethernet thingy comes. Would the situation above still work, or do I have to have tiger or older as my OS? (Yes I know leopard is not officially supported on lower than 867mhz...

Ok so I want to hook up my Quadra 610 to the internet just for fun and to do some Light Browsing (Yes I know it wont be fast). It currently has an AAUI-15 ethernet port at the rear of the computer. Here is the situation. I have a wireless wpa internet connection throughout my home. I connect my...

Thanks for the replies guys. I will try to get some photos in order for you guys to get to help me out some more. I am trying to understand this scsi concept, it is just going to take a little bit of time for me. And in the meantime, those here with much more experience in that area might be...

Ummmm.... SCSI ID's? Incorrect Termination? Im a little lost here. What is it exactly that you need me to do? Can you post a link or instructions on how to do these things? Thanks. Oh and I had a new boot sequence. This time I got the question mark floppy disk, but after I heard some scratching...
