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

    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. :)

    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?

    (taps mike) Um-Hi There!

    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...

    (taps mike) Um-Hi There!

    That's okay-I'm a bit "meh" towards 2112, thought it DOES make a cool title. I'm more into Rush from 1980 on to their final album Clockwork Angels, in 2012.

    I know, but some of the more adventurous among us like to do that deeper dive-I'm not in that group, LOL. I'm simply asking out of idle curiosity.

    Fixing A Dead PSU From A G4 MDD

    This is a little off-shoot from the thread I started about my G4's problem. I'm just curious if any of you folks have tried this, given this power supply's issues with the MDD... Have any of you done an autopsy on a dead PSU from an MDD? If so, have you tried resurrecting it (recapping and...
