I reinstalled the power supply. The G4 is back in business. What’s incredibly surprising is how much QUIETER the G4 is!! 😳😱 Andy did a good job. :cool:

Back in the 90s, I'd cry crocodile tears over Macs I couldn't afford. One of them was the clamshell iBook. Now, fool that I am, I want to get my hands on one. :p So, my questions- What should I look out for, in terms of failing parts? What would be some decent prices for one? I'm looking for...

Hope this is the right forum!

I picked this machine up at the Trenton Computer Festival (New Jersey) for $25. The price was too tempting to ignore. it's in surprisingly good shape. I'm mostly a Mac person, but I have nothing against Windows. I don't care what the system is, as long as it gets the work done. In 2010, I...

So, I drove to VCF East last week, and I spoke to Mike of Mike's Mac Shack on YouTube. He mentioned a person who fixes G4 MDD power supplies. This looks like the guy. Apologies for the LONG URL...

Left to right, top to bottom: actors Robert Trebor, Lucy Lawless, Adrienne Wilkinson, Bruce Campbell The work is done in Prismacolor pencils. I used Photoshop to enhance the brightness/contrast. I'm in the middle of a new portrait now.

In the early 2000s I had an interesting experience. Riding my bike in New York City, heading back to the train station, I saw a Power PC 7200/120 that had been tossed out. By some freaking miracle, I managed to carry it under one arm while I rode my bike back to the train station. That was NOT...

I'll definitely be there. I drove to the Trenton New Jersey computer show (I haven't been to that in almost 30 years). Steve of Mac84 told me it had turned into a rather sad affair, which unfortunately was true. I did pick up a $25 Windows laptop, but the keys are acting a little funky. When I...

Hi. So, a friend is using Windows 10. During an automatic update for both Windows and Chrome, all his bookmarks were deleted . He says all his Microsoft Office products are gone. Is there any way he can recover what he lost? Thanks.

I'll start. Lessee... It's been a long time!! Late 1990s?? I got a Centris 650 that way in the Tribeca area of New York City. A number of buddies and I were notified that a company was getting rid of a lot of computer stuff. We went down there. A light rain was in progress. There were A TON of...

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 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...

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...
