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).

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

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?

I have an eMac os9 691-3482-A 9.2.2 I can try to upload somewhere. Just checked Macintosh Repository, one is already up there

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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...

Get them while they are hot! Ebay for Sil3114 $15 delivered

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

Finished my cable, I didn't have orange tape for the 3.3v, so I used white since the white wire will not be used. The motherboard 8pin (2 x 4pin) connector supplies two extra 12v and one ground. So, at least my MDD powers on, where it did not before. Light will come on, then fans go high...

I found a PSU slave cable, from my days of crypto-mining, no longer needed, so I will re-pin it into my own ATX adapter. I have these automotive plug-pin removers, so I just need to figure out which one works best. And I will use some colored electrical tape to keep me sane. Here is my 600W...

I just picked up an ailing MDD with power problem... I have a ATX FLEX 600W psu I will try to fit in, much smaller than the original PSU, so it should fit internally.

I pulled the rear fan from the dual 1.8 and put it on the air cooled dual 2.5. Ran the ASD for everything but the CPU, that passed. Then ran the CPU tests, passed. Then ran the thermal calibration... did not finish after an hour, assumed it was frozen... restarted and the fans were quieter...

If you followed January's PPC Challenge, you would have seen me acquire multiple PPC machines, including: -$5 G5 Dual 1.8GHz non booting (it had a V2 and V1 CPU mismatch, no GPU), Free Geek Minneapolis -$10 G5 Dual 2.5GHz non booting (dead PSU, leaking LCS), Free Geek Minneapolis -$10 G5 Quad...

I am not an electrical engineer, nor a professional circuit board repair person, so take it with a grain of salt. In the 40 years of handing all types of electronics with no ESD protection of any kind (I wear socks on carpet a lot), I have only personally experienced one single component...
