I found this thread on the arch forum with a guy having similar issues with the nvidia driver and 08 mbp. Doesn't look like he perfectly fixed his issues either as he solved for one issue, additional problems/instability popped up but per that thread, the proprietary nvida driver *should* work...

So that is how it came? With the zip branded drive like that? Good to know! Thanks :)

Wow, that looks like an aftermarket Zip drive to me. The bezel doesn’t look like it fits quite right along with the wonky drive in there hah. This link has a picture of what the zip bezel should look like for a beige g3 M6202LL/A. The bezel dimensions don’t look to match up and it’s missing the...

I was thinking Daddy dental care for my kids … OPEN WIIIIDE :) the results are pretty great. @David Cook Does the unit vibrate a lot in your hand? Does it cause numbness at all?

That is a good idea. I did take the lvds off from both ends and reattached it but it did not change the result unfortunately. I’ll give the panel a good couple whacks to see if anything changes. Don’t really feel like buying a new panel but whatevs, the Mac has mostly survived two boys and...

Hi everyone, my kids knocked my 24” 2009 iMac off their desk horsing around and ever since the display is wonky donkey. At first I suspected gpu and did have a compatible apple spare in my junk which is what is powering the mirrored external screen below. The machine works as it should via the...

I have a tiny hobbyist dremel that I l’ve had for probably 20 years and use for this stuff currently. My favorite tip is a bulbous one with a mild sandpaper finish to it for a low/abrasion effect. The problem with it is that it really likes to vibrate in your hand, making fine work not as easy...

Completely off topic (sorry op) but wouldn’t it be neat to strip all the white off to clear so you get to see all of the awesome electronic guts - like one of the crt cinema displays. A completely clear eMac sounds really cool to me :) I’ll have to hunt one down.

Thanks so much for sharing.

Very nice :) The same exact 733 education QS sans zip was my first PowerPC mac as well. I guess technically that was actually an imacg3 but that was really my wifes, not mine. Anyhow, I have acquired a few extra $10 Quicksilver projects sitting around that I rescued from CL. I need to do...

I would look at your heatsink repaste/reassembly with a fresh set of eyes. Is the cpu/gpu heatsinks seated correctly? Are all the screws in? Are all the sensors and fans installed correctly? Before jumping to a cap job, Id take a fresh look at your ressembly and make sure that is not the cause.

Good enough for who it’s for :) My motto in life lol

Does anyone have this? Wayback is bring up blank www.microspeed.com site backups for me unfortunately.

Welcome!
