After posting I had a look at the CPU board connector using a magnifying glass and there seems to be a broken pin in the corner of the connector. I think that this machine has been opened up before (only one screw holding in the heatsink and none holding in the floppy drive) I got it and thats...

Thanks for the reply. I thought there would be some hardware problem.

I recently got a 32Mb memory module for my one of my PB 540Cs. After installing the module into my first 540 the machine doesn't boot up(screen stays blank but there is some hard disk activity). Without the module, the PB boots up with its basic 4Mb ram. I then installed the module into my...

Picked up an SE/30 that was on my local Freecycle list. Case is clean with no yellowing and the screen doesn't show signs of burn-in. The hard drive(40Mb) is noisy and the floppy drive makes the disk unreadable. Macs are very rare on my local Freecycle so I'm quite proud of this conquest.

I have an old PIII 500Mhz running Win 98SE. I think it scores heavily over the G3's by virtue of the fact that there are several browsers that will run on it(Firefox and Opera) whereas the G3 running 0S 9 is very limited. Most other everday things they appear equivalent.

I always leave my machines on during the day but switch them off at night. I've always switched off electrical equipment when I'm not using it.

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried plugging the mouse and keyboard into the two USB sockets on the G4, but this didn't make any difference. I shall try a powered hub and see if this works.

After starting up my G4 (AGP 400MHz) it doesn't recognise the keyboard which is a Macally ikeyslim. The keyboard has two USB sockets , one has the mouse in it the other has a USB stick, if I remove any of these Mac detects this and gives its warning message about removing USB devices. Top get...

Thanks for the warm welcome.
