It seems the waybackmachine is having server trouble and cannot find the weibetech utility downloads from crawls between 2005-2009 so Ive attached the files needed to flash a generic sil3512 SATA card to work in a mac for large drive support (originally pulled from WBM archive). The utility runs...

Yep, 3112s working with the Weibetech flashing utility in beige macs back to 7.6 discussed over at macrumors. Unfortunately, the way back machine archive seems to be having server trouble as I cannot access any of the weibetech site utility downloads from 2005 to 2008 which is a drag. Here's my...

Not a 3112, but one can flash a cheap $10 sil3512 with the weibetech flash utility that runs in OSX, so no x86 dosbox needed. I have a couple that boot up a B&W without issue. When I get home, I can attach the files here or maybe make a separate thread (guess that makes more sense). I swear I...

That's great news. If it were me, I think the next thing Id look at is cracking that case and swapping out the PRAM battery (and doing the aforementioned maintenance). I fixit is a great source of high quality step by step directions BUT, House of Moth also posted the internal Apple service...

AHT is a lighter version of the Apple Service diagnostic tools. Below is a link to some info on and downloads for ASD and AHT ASD & AHT

That sure behaves like a PMU/PRAM issue to me. Have you switched out the pram battery? Not too difficult to do and while you have the case out you can do any other maintenance you want i.e. fan lube, cpu/gpu repaste, cable reseating etc. As far as the noise, there are two exhaust fans - one at...

Great story. It will be a youtube special one day starring Rick Moranis. I have zero idea how to fix it beyond the obvious clean/check ics, caps, traces etc. but truthfully love the potential story that this thread will unfold - a man and his computer.. That thermal reader is a great idea. I...

Well, if it isnt passing post and you're feeling lucky, maybe swap out the ram? Ram might be freaking out. I had similar no-post conditions from both a dead gpu in pb12 and cpu in pb15 and a ic failure on an ibook12". Id pop the lobo out & give it a close look over - busted caps, bad ics...

Those unicorn killing bastards!

Best Buy has battery recycling bins at each of their stores. [[Collection bins at every Best Buy big box store make it easy to conveniently dispose of rechargeable batteries commonly found in laptops, digital cameras, game consoles, MP3 players, tablets and phones. These include battery...

Well, the rice I have right now is a sack of Santo Tomas and a bag of Fallera Bomba Rice. I've also used Italian Arborio as well in a pinch. I've read about the soccarrat crust. I have not been able to produce this with the indirect heat of an oven, although I have gotten ok results over coals -...

Huh, so those red and white pods are very similar to a bean we grow in the midwestern US called cranberry beans. I like them stewed with corn kernels and smoked ham hocks. They have a slight sweetness to them which is nice. I bet those could be used. The Garrofon I have never seen Stateside, so...

You're the man, man. 🍻

My friend has a similar style propane burner which has telescoping legs that he uses on his back patio T'd off from his grills propane tank. What beans do you put in the paella? I've had it many times and never once with beans. (granted all Stateside as I have not made it to Europe) so...

Loves me some paella! Very nice looking 👍🏼 Here’s the last paella Valencia I made over the summer. I like to do them outside over wood coals in my paella pan but this one I did a fired clay tajin in the oven. I think my fav protein ingredients combos for a paella are a mix of: Chorizo, fresh...

I want like ten of these. I also love the acrylic ADC cinema dispays (I have three of them). Is there a kit I can buy? I have no issue puting it together. So cool! (y) 👋

Belongs on the back of a ESB Hoth tauntaun.

I was told by my old neighbor (retired TV/electronics repair guy) that the cause of the 'slap fix" on crts usually is in fact dry solder joints at the CRT R/G/B electron gun joints and slapping it jostles those joints to provide a better connection returning normal function. Also slaps fixed...

Huh, wow those are similar to crepe batter but with seltzer. I love to eat mid-European foodcultures like Polish, Hungarian & Romanian, so will make these for the kiddos this week some time - maybe with some chicken Paprikas or cheese filled Pierogis & fried cabbage.

I was just in a few of these and I think there is enough room to zip tie a small 30-40mm fan to the top of the CPU cage - daisy chain power off the hdd molex. Something like this maybe. Being that the imacg3s are translucent, a cool colored LED cpu fan could look really neat. Youd see it...
