This is an off-shoot from this thread: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/g4-power-supply-swap-adapter-cable-has-the-wrong-connector-from-atx-ps-to-adapter-cable.3374/ The G4 MDD is hooked up to my 32-inch Panasonic Viera TV (2010). My 2010 Mac Mini is hooked up to it as well. Note the...

I reassembled the MDD Mac with the old power supply reinstalled. It's in working order again. I plan to hold onto the new power supply., since it seems to work. The question is: why didn't I get a picture? I also need to figure put a way to add power extensions to the CD-ROM drive, since I...

Here are the photos. The adapter is DVI to VGA, and then the VGA cable goes to the back of my 32-inch Panasonic Viera TV. Also, another problem-I was able to connect the mechanical HD & SSD to the two power connectors, but there's nothing left to connect to the CD-ROM drive. It's been a long...

(sigh) I guess, for the time being, I'll have to put the old power supply back until I can figure out what to do. It still works, although occasionally, the computer won't boot-then I have to unplug the power cable and plug it back in-then it will boot.

It powered on, but no picture. 😞 Edit: I did hear the start-up bong.

I think I'm properly connected.

phungus-no, it fit snugly. And yeah: the square/rounded corners should match. BTW, I'm not a tech guy-just an artist. But I'm not afraid to jump in there. :)

I may have solved the problem. is this correct?

Well, I went by the links corresponding to Sean's video-which is where I got the power supply & the cable from.

Right. I was sent the wrong cable. I already contacted the seller.

Ah, ok. Sorry. Yeah, I don't think this cable is correct.

Forgive my ignorance, as this is the first time I've tried doing this on a Mac. Are you saying the pictures below indicate the power supply is correctly connected to the adapter cable?

The cable shown below was what I should have gotten .

I had been busy all week, and was just getting to the PS swap today. I began the involved process of taking the old PS out, only to discover that the adapter I was sent, as per Action Retro's video, has the wrong connector going from the ATX power supply to the adapter. All that work for...

I got all the parts for the power supply replacement, which I plan to do Saturday. I will try measuring the contact pads at the terminals when I reinstall the Saft battery.

Hey folks! So, as you know from earlier threads about my G4 mirror door Mac, I'm getting ready to swap the power supply. I'm just waiting for the ATX cable adapter. There is one curious problem I want to address. If I were to unplug the G4, it wouldn't hold the PRAM data. The battery I put in...

My new power supply and replacement PRAM batteries should arrive today; the ATX cable adapter later this week or next week.

YES! Power Windows is awesome. With the exception of one song, I don't dislike pre-1980s Rush. I just think the music still needed some refinement. The only Rush song I despise is Madrigal, on the Farewell To Kings album. It sounds weak and uninspired-a true brain fart. Thankfully, it was never...

Dude, I'm telling ya-they have a crack cocaine habit to support. 😝😝😝😝😝😝😝
