    G3 AIO Molar Mac No Chime No Light Yes Fan after cleaning PSU

    And it's back. Probably a cracked solder joint or maybe some alcohol hadn't fully evaporated. Or it wanted to spite me. Whatever the case, works great now.

    G3 AIO Molar Mac No Chime No Light Yes Fan after cleaning PSU

    So in order to replace the fan on my Molar, I took the PSU out and it was *filthy*, absolutely caked in dust. So I used a combination of paper towels, Q-tips, 99% IPA, and a small cordless vacuum to clean out most of the dust. While reassembling the molar after replacing the fan, I decided to...

    molar Mac cooling fan size?

    Well aware of Noctua and I intend to get one eventually, but this computer requires a fan to run for more than a couple minutes, and these are what I had at work.

    molar Mac cooling fan size?

    Ok I got one of everything and went home. 92mm. Delta Fans AFB0913H 13V 0.3A fan. Pretty beefy. Putting in a random 92mm Delta from a dell. Half the power draw but hopefully it'll do the job.

    ... Did I seriously post this thread twice in the same forum instead of two different forums? Am dumb, sorry. Feel free to delete one.

    molar Mac cooling fan size?

    Hey gang, my Molar's fan is *screaming* and I'd like to replace it with something new and not screaming. Does anyone know how big the fan is? I'm at work and would like to grab one before the weekend, thanks. Just for future googlers: Power Macintosh G3 AIO Fan Size

    The black Mac no one asked for (Powermac G3 All-In-One Molar)

    Maybe a polish? God that's a lot of holes though. No I think if I wanted to go transparent then vacuum forming a new shell would be the way to go. The first iMacs weren't clear, after all.

    I figure if it doesn't work out I can always use paint thinner.

    Are you talking specifically about the transluscent plastic, the beige, or all of it? We don't really have sun here this time of year, I doubt it'll be effective.

    Gorgeous. I really don't want to deal with retrobriting mine, so I might go this route. I wonder if some stained glass paint on the translucents could make them bondi blue-ish?

    MARCHintosh 2025 Projects

    Hi am Trek. I can make PCBs sometimes, so my Marchintosh goal is to get a layout at least most of the way done. I don't have enough free time to guarantee I'll have boards in fab yet. Also I just picked up two 5400s and a Molar Mac at the end of last month, and I'd like to get them up and running.

    I want to save my graphite Studio Display 17. (Bad flyback probably, need help sourcing a new one)

    Ok so my Studio display started arcing and sparking like they all do, so I got a new flyback from Technotronic Dimensions. Nice fellow. I got it installed and it looked glorious! For about 10 minutes. Then it collapsed vertically and horizontally into 3 dots. After turning off the CRT, letting...
