Hi all, I’ve got a Dell Latitude X300 laptop which is a lovely ultra-portable Windows 2000/XP box but sadly the battery has given up holding a charge. It’s detected by the PC but won’t ever gain a charge. Unplugging the AC resorts in sudden death. So I’m wondering if anyone based in the UK is...

Some of my Macs wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! (Note: the 2019 5K iMac and the 1998 PowerBook G3 PDQ are - the eMac decided that it didn't like my AIO Keyboard/Trackpad and locked up!)

I'd be tempted to do this - as for the most part I use my Macs for mostly general internet browsing and alike if I'm not working. Though I would need to use my Intel iMac for the day job as I don't think the old PPC versions of RDP would like talking to Server 2016 and newer! Though again I...

Funnily enough when I opened mine to clean the vents I noticed the frame by the battery bay was cracked/broken. So I think a new frame is needed - something to look into more in the new year.

I've found with MacOS9Lives it's a Russian Roullete if it works - my eMac for example boots with a tiny screen size then once installed it boots fine. Though booting back into OS X sometimes breaks the OS9 install. So millage may vary!!

I believe none of the iBook G4 models can offically boot Mac OS 9 though as Fizzbinn has said above Mac OS 9 Lives in an unoffical version of Mac OS 9 which could work on some iBook G4 models. I've had luck with it on my eMac but it's quite a low specification model so might have been the reason...

Now that sounds like a good plan! Would love to add a little bit of LED action to the iMac G3 to really let it shine (literally) - may have to do some shopping round and see what fans work best! If I'm feeling really brave I may even splash out for some LED strips to go inside the iMac to...

Hi all, I've got an iMac G3 in Grape (DV edition) which I do rather like but I'm always worried about running it for a long time due to it's age and lack of active cooling. The machine has had new thermal paste applied to the CPU and been dusted out but I would like to keep it cool and running...

Fighting with a cranky iMac G3 - might be a long day!

Hi all, Looking for some ideas/solutions for this lovely 12" iBook G4 I got recently. The machine works well but ever since I've had it and even before I got it from a friend it never has shut correctly. It'll latch shut but the smallest tap and it'll spring back open. The LCD (1st Photo)...

Hello all! My names Haydon and I'm based in the UK - been using Macs/PCs since I could reach a keyboard and have worked with technology and taught it ever since. Enjoying the fact that time (and eBay) has made it possible for me to finally collect and own all the machines I could dream of...
