The 1.8 Ghz G5 has no PCI slots, only PCIe but a ADC port on its video card. But my studio display connected to it is very dim and the power light is blinking 3 times every 3 seconds. So I need the DVI to ADC converter?
That machine now also refuses to boot from a perfect verified volume I created with CCC. So I decided to change the battery. It's not the normal half size AA type but a button cell. I can't figure out how to replace it. Can anybody here tell me how to do it w/o wrecking the holder? I use the slow G5 with a Freecom Firewire dock to clone my original HDs from the dead G4 to use in my main G5, the latest edition of the 2 Ghz DP G5 but I need 2 functioning internal HDs to do that. Any suggestions? Thank you. Best regards, Jörg.
