Good day gents, Inherited a G4 Cube that refuses to boot. no chime (does Cube chime anyway ?). no video on any screen I try, either the cubes one or a VGA. Only some quick flashes (4 ?) on the main power and screen buttons. With a DS2 red led lit on the main board, near the ram slots. Think...

My pleasure...

No worries, Clamshells are completely harmless invertebrates.

If your broken screen is a LG, then no prob, the display cable you have with it will do with your working LG screen. If your broken screen is a Samsung, then you must find a Samsung display cable. I think there was another third screen brand too, not sure. Anyways, each goes with their own...

Excellent video !

Hi Techknight,  I tried changing the ram on that Kanga, still same problem, very dim screen. Like a failing backlit, but its not that as I swapped screen with known good one already… Also this Kanga doesn’t want to zap pram, or boot in OF… (yes the PRAM batteries are removed).

I have the same backlite problem with a kanga (witch really annoys me cause... its a Kanga). Also swapped screen, same result. must be a component on the board, but which one ?... Like Bibilit said very few capacitors on these machines, 2 or 3 on the PMU board.

I meant congrat :)

Thks for the info. And btw, contrat for the custom case project .

There is a ebey listing at the moment ( easy to find), for a nice 1400c with accelerator card, and.... a wooden lid cover ! Note I didn't ask the seller if that is real wood... Never saw this before, anyone know if this thing was sold or is it a user hack ? Is its a manufactured thing, must be...

Hi . I'm still here :) thanks for these infos. Sure you can start a thread documenting your researchs. very interesting. I did manage to make that Lime Clamshell work, but the hard way :/  ie, changing the main board, so it wasn't a screen problem... I suspect its some broken connections...

Congrat !! Very cool resin screen. I tried the exact same thing some time ago, but i couldn't get the resin to stay clear . I think it was the resin i used (too old). I still have the silicon mold though.

Not the all hinges assembly . Only the hinge part that fixes on the main body ( the one that most often breaks ) , this one : These are 12.1" hinges. The upper part that fixes in the display assembly is again different for the 13.3" and 14.1". For example, here is a 14.1" hinge I think...

Hi, best way to fix it is replacement, you can find some on powerbookmedic.com (complete display with hinges, not cheap...) or thebookyard.com (hinges only, but not cheap either...). Sometime buying a wreck with good hinges is much cheaper . Also you have to find the good type of hinge , cause...

My 1ghz Ti as the sticker in the battery bay showing "1Ghz G4 15.2/512/60GB/SD/56K/" , plus serial nmr , ethernet ID and Wifi ID. Sadly my 867Mhz Ti is assembled from mix of pieces so the sticker is long gone... But given that the Ethernet ID and SN number are tied to the main board as is the...

Bought on amazon for 8€ , 3 small packs of grey one. There are different colors, but that grey one is perfect as it's almost the same grey used by Apple for different rubber parts.

Ah ! So i'm not the only one having this problem :p check here :
