Re: G4 MDD woes
Seems the CUDA and PMU switch are one and the same. I've tried the DIMMs one at a time, in each different slot and combination - they all check out but anything in slot 4 provokes a complete freeze. I've also done a sustem software 'archive and install' - no effect. I found a G4 'Apple Hardware Test' CD and tried that - it won't even run - boots into open firmware with the error message: Invalid memory access at %SRR0: 0661054c %SRR1: 0003030 Unless someone has a better idea, it seems I've acquired a paperweight.

I've seen a similar message to yours on my G5 before. My G5 is fine, I just had some RAM seated poorly. I reseated my RAM and everything was fine. It seems your problem is a RAM issue. It appears slot 4 is bad. Are you sure you've got the correct RAM? It takes PC2700 DDR. You can use PC3200 DDR also, but NOT PC2100 DDR. As for the AHT, are you sure you have the right version? I believe the correct version is 693-3994-A which should be printed on the disc. All versions are available for download here: http://www.info.apple.com/support/aht.html Also, on the resetting the PMU/CUDA, Apple has this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1939 I've found the removing the PRAM battery and letting it sit overnight (or 15-20 minutes) without the battery can sometimes help. I normally press the CUDA immediately after removing the PRAM battery, and again before reinserting the PRAM battery. If the PRAM battery is dead, this can cause all sorts of strange problems, so being certain the PRAM battery is good is really important. I'd recommend reseating EVERYTHING (video card, ATA cables, etc.), and then burning a new copy of AHT. Then use a single stick of RAM that is KNOWN GOOD PC2700 DDR or PC3200 DDR, in the 1st RAM slot, and try booting the AHT disc using the Option key at startup. I think there's a good chance you can get this working perhaps? -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

This machine is very easy to work on. a motherboard can be had cheap and relacement isn't too hard. If you've eliminated all the other possiblities, Have you claened all the power cable connections? Otherwise if a bad ram slot is the culprit then I'd be getting a motherborad.

G4 MDD Dual 1.42 upgrade
Hi All I have a G4 MDD Dual 1.25. I would like to know if I can put a Dual 1.42 processor in it. And if so will it still boot OS 9? If not has anyone used the Sonnet Dual 1.8?

But they were in the FW800 machines so I wonder if it would fit?? My MDD is a FW400.Originaly a Dual 1.0 and I upgraded it to a Dual 1.25 I have to be able to boot OS 9.

QuickTime web download issue-what happened?
Greetings all, Hope this is the right place to ask this. Once upon a time (NOT too long ago!), I was able to download any QT-based movie snip (news items or instructional videos for software, for ex.) on Safari by simply waiting for the page to load, then right-clicking the panel and a save to desktop choice was made available. Not so anymore; the latest update combo of Safari and QuickTime Pro (in Leopard 10.5.8, btw) has severed that option. Now when i right-click I get an Open in Dashboard selection - *big whoop* (still doesn't allow an actual save of the movie). Can anyone offer an explanation, and maybe, a plug-in that restores this very helpful save file option?
