    G4 Power Supply Swap-Adapter Cable Has The Wrong Connector From ATX PS to Adapter Cable

    I believe this cable needs to be plugged into 1/2 of the P3 cable from the PSU.

    G4 Power Supply Swap-Adapter Cable Has The Wrong Connector From ATX PS to Adapter Cable

    It could possibly be correct... There is nothing on the Amazon image showing the "24" designation, but I can assume those are the remaining 4 pins plus the 20 = "24". Just make sure it is NOT 1/2 of the P3 connector (those should not fit anyway, the square/rounded corners should not align).

    G4 Power Supply Swap-Adapter Cable Has The Wrong Connector From ATX PS to Adapter Cable

    Look at the connectors on the PSU... This looks like your 4 missing pins... The PSU linked on amazon: photo shows 24pins... NOTE: The 20pin and 4pin are often detachable... find how they mate together and plug into the adapter cable.

    G4 Power Supply Swap-Adapter Cable Has The Wrong Connector From ATX PS to Adapter Cable

    The amazon link from the Youtube video shows the P1 should have 24 pins. You may have received the wrong PSU.

    ok, can you take a photo of all the connectors on the PSU?

    G4 Power Supply Swap-Adapter Cable Has The Wrong Connector From ATX PS to Adapter Cable

    I am guessing the cable is correct, you need to identify the 4-pin on the PSU, or you have a non-standard PSU (ATX PC power supply).

    G4 Power Supply Swap-Adapter Cable Has The Wrong Connector From ATX PS to Adapter Cable

    There should be another 4pin that goes with P1 on your power supply... to make 24 pins, 2 examples from modern ATX power supplies

    G4 Power Supply Swap-Adapter Cable Has The Wrong Connector From ATX PS to Adapter Cable

    The adapter requires one of the 4pin (typically there are 2 on a psu) plug that goes to the motherboard in addition to the 20 pins (20+4). MDD power pinout: Standard ATX plus 4 pins. Were there no instructions with the cable/adapter?

    $40 bones for a solid case!

    PPC take a good 30+ seconds to display anything on screen for me... I haven't booted up my 3,1 (2008) in over a year, but I was trying different video cards at the time... I will pull it out and have a look. How long did you wait after the chime?

    $40 bones for a solid case!

    What exact model is it? PPC had the apple label under the bottom of the metal side door, Intel machines have it printed on the back near the card slots.

    What would you pay for this barely used 128k or 512k and ImageWriter?

    Depends on the depth of your wallet and your penchant for the quality of the product. Myself, I would take a fixer upper for a tenth of the price.

    Polkadot alt account?

    From the looks of that photo, I am guessing it went through several hurricanes and has possible internal rust or water damage. Not what I would consider well maintained. 0 seller history, do not buy from this person.

    Video Capture Input for G4 Macs?

    Maybe VNC or Remote Desktop? Depends on what you can install/share from your linux device. What version of MacOS are you running on the G4? Leopard has screen sharing in core services.

    Video Capture Input for G4 Macs?

    I see some HDMI capture to USB2.0 on Amazon, but nothing to FireWire... Does your G4 have a 2.0 USB or just the 1.1/1.0?

    Video Capture Input for G4 Macs?

    I am not sure you will find a USB or FireWire device that was made to capture HDMI. Most things in that era were Composite (yellow) or coax (tv antenna or cable tuner). I have a USB based EyeTV Hybrid that is USB, but only takes coax. The PPC 8500 had AV inputs but at a very limited...

    Is this worth it?

    Looks like it might either be a memory issue or the mobo needs recap. The price is up to you... depending on what else is available locally vs shipping it. I know my metro area has a lot more options with things like criagslist, offerup, and Free Geek
