Either way, we have different versions. But I would say, "YES, that is the capacitor from that location." You typically can't measure a capacitor in place, it should be removed from the circuit to measure it. Is it damaged/crushed that you can't get a reading from it?

This is a Gen 1 A1051 (fat - before they got super thin)?

Is that it right there?

Hello, Based on the photos in the listing, it says 16MB of RAM, and one RAM slot is populated. I don't know if a 12MB SIMM exists, so I assume it is an 8MB SIMM in the socket and 8MB on the motherboard... leading me to believe the FPU is integrated. There are 2 SIMMs in the Video RAM slots...

It has taken me a while to get to this project, but I purchased the Briel VGA card quite some time ago. Just got all the parts collected and soldered together. I guess I just realized the walls in my office are Apple beige? LOL Happy that it worked on the first try. Then I remembered you can...

One other thing you could try... load the media into your G4 Mac Mini and burn a new copy of it. Then try the copy in your iMac.

Then I would guess it boils down to the actual drive going bad (or different laser wavelength). I don't have a slot load iMac (flavor), mine is tray load. Other flat panel iMacs and laptops had slot load drives you may be able borrow/steal one from and make work in your iMac, maybe with...

Any other machines running 9.2 that you can test the media in? Does it mount in OSX (if you have that installed in your iMac)?

Way back in the day, there were gold CDs, blue CDs, and silver CDs... and each manufacturer has some limited ability to work with each kind. Are these rejected media commercial DVDs you are using (should be silver in color), or ones you have burned yourself? Any surface scratching (some drives...

Three questions: 1. Did you still get boot chimes for every variation of RAM swaps you did? 2. Did you still get boot chimes with every GPU you tried? 3. PCI slots 1 and 2 are x16 and 3 and 4 are x4. Did you try a GPU in a different slot? Maybe the bottom PCIe slot is damaged?

Last week I found a couple Craigslist items and was able to pick them up this weekend. A pile of misc parts: 15 hard drives (10 Sata, 3 IDE, 1 SCSI, 1 SSD), some had Intel cMP trays on them, a couple G5 video cards, an RX570, some other misc PCIe cards, and a serial Wacom tablet. Even a 3.5...

There is a discussion here if you are interested in dual boot options.

In January, I picked up a 2nd Acrylic ASD 17" from the UofMN ReUse center when the discount was 80%, so $6 again. I stopped by Free Geek Minneapolis and there was a DVIator on the FREE shelf. Nice grab, the last one I got from Free Geek was in the $1 bin, and it failed to work for me. Seems...

Great, as long as your M.2 is SATA! I have actually used an M.2 to mSATA adapter on top of an mSATA to IDE and it works fine in the machines that typically work with the mSATA to IDE adapters.

I have 3 Aluminum G4 Powerbooks and all work with the mSATA-IDE adapters. I have not tried an M.2 to IDE. Is your M.2 drive SATA or NVME? Does it match what the IDE adapter supports (most support SATA, I don't know if any support NVME)?

Also be wary that there are some glitchy results from any sticks less than 2GB, as reported by @HrutkayMods

Ok, so now that we know it is an INTEL vs G5, there are lots of cheap options for video cards. Check out this thread on some confirmed PC cards that are not flashed to mac, but video shows up once the OS boots. OCLP can give you a boot picker screen with these cards (NOT an EFI picker ie the...

No, but you can do it manually. Here is an external reference shot with the optical drive door assembly on the outside of a G5 model so you can compare... The door slides downward. Look at the gap on the left green zone... you have to put an extended paperclip through the holes to push the...

I don't think you are going to get away with a drive larger than 128GB. Some of these G3 machines are very particular about the type of Solid State storage you choose and there are quite a few adapters out there that don't work. My guess would be that you may have to resort to the CF to IDE...

I don't have that particular model/part, so recreating it will be difficult without precise measurements. Probably a lot of trial and error. It will also likely require a larger than standard 3D printer, maybe even paying for a service bureau to print it for you. I would suggest if you have...
