In January, I picked up a 2nd Acrylic ASD 17" from the UofMN ReUse center when the discount was 80%, so $6 again. I stopped by Free Geek Minneapolis and there was a DVIator on the FREE shelf. Nice grab, the last one I got from Free Geek was in the $1 bin, and it failed to work for me. Seems...

Great, as long as your M.2 is SATA! I have actually used an M.2 to mSATA adapter on top of an mSATA to IDE and it works fine in the machines that typically work with the mSATA to IDE adapters.

I have 3 Aluminum G4 Powerbooks and all work with the mSATA-IDE adapters. I have not tried an M.2 to IDE. Is your M.2 drive SATA or NVME? Does it match what the IDE adapter supports (most support SATA, I don't know if any support NVME)?

Also be wary that there are some glitchy results from any sticks less than 2GB, as reported by @HrutkayMods

Ok, so now that we know it is an INTEL vs G5, there are lots of cheap options for video cards. Check out this thread on some confirmed PC cards that are not flashed to mac, but video shows up once the OS boots. OCLP can give you a boot picker screen with these cards (NOT an EFI picker ie the...

No, but you can do it manually. Here is an external reference shot with the optical drive door assembly on the outside of a G5 model so you can compare... The door slides downward. Look at the gap on the left green zone... you have to put an extended paperclip through the holes to push the...

I don't think you are going to get away with a drive larger than 128GB. Some of these G3 machines are very particular about the type of Solid State storage you choose and there are quite a few adapters out there that don't work. My guess would be that you may have to resort to the CF to IDE...

I don't have that particular model/part, so recreating it will be difficult without precise measurements. Probably a lot of trial and error. It will also likely require a larger than standard 3D printer, maybe even paying for a service bureau to print it for you. I would suggest if you have...

You can use any windows USB keyboard. Use the keys Windows+CTRL+P+R. If that does not do it, try Windows+ALT+P+R.

Try power up, hold down Command+Option+P+R and wait for 3 full chime loops. If you don't see any video life by then, release and hold down the option key for a good few minutes. What type of external video ports are on the video card?

Here are the photos of 3400c memory expansion cards: 64MB From my CL 3400c post And 16MB From my CL 3400c post The 190/5300 has the same connector, but in 180 degree orientation. Your item on the left (P20936) appears to be for 3400c and the one on the right (L3596) appears to be for 190/5300

The last memory picture before the video adapters appears to be two PowerBook memory expansion cards. Possibly 190/5300 or 3400 series.

Day 37 (part 2) My CF-IDE carrier finished, I installed it into the drive carrier in the PB190cs. Assembled the rest, epoxy seems to be holding. LETS WRAP THIS CHALLENGE UP! So, at the last minute, the PB190cs would not boot. The 3rd G3 500MHz that was flaky, was flaky again. After the...

Day 37 The epoxy on the PowerBook 190cs repairs has hardened a little more... maybe enough to assemble everything and see what holds. Starting with the screen, the speaker mount (steel strap) was missing. I found a piece of thin flexible grounding/shield metal and cut a strip and drilled two...

Day 35-36 Let's end this month with a couple failures (or call them redo projects for the future). First, the PowerBook 190cs epoxy fixes: the epoxy was mixed and applied three days ago. It is still a little gooey like a hard taffy. I was able to remove the clay molds from the bottom but...

EveryMac shows it should do 6GB... Have you zapped PRAM (CMD-Option-P-R) for 3 chimes before booting? Have you reset SMC?

Day 34 I finished soldering up the last of the 5 Mini-Amps I built for my Apple Pro Speakers. Three white, one black, one natural (semi-clear). They are all a little bit different and unique (random screws, different power plugs, etc). More soldering. My bodge wire arrived, so I dove into...
