Re: MDD problem
Hi, I just got another MDD 1.25 Ghz MDD with a dual processor. Can I put the mainboard with the processors installed from the DP machine in my single processor MDD 1.25? Should I press the CUDA before I swap the boards? Anything else I should know before I do it? Is there a how to do with pics like this one that shows the swapping procedure for the PSU? http://www.info.apple.com/nlnl/cip/pdf/n_g4mirror/fan_power_supply.pdf I want to keep my old case as it looks like new, the DP Mac is not so nice cosmetically and makes much more noise. Anything about the firmware? Thanks for all hints. I want to be sure I won't botch this job. Best regards, Jörg.

After resetting the PMU again I'm back at the same situation as before the repair. A bong, all fans work, the red LED on the mobo is lit and the disks spin up but only chatter for a short time, the monitor stays dark. The processor on the graphic card gets warm. After resetting the PMU the LED of the power button goes dark again after releasing the button although there is the bong etc. The next time I try to start after the reset the LED is extinguished for a short period and comes back on after the bong. I payed 110 euros with new quiet fans and shipping back to my home. The guy apparently also fixes mobos and will help me again. He told me that my PSU was indeed defective. Best regards, Jörg.

Where did you send your PSU out to and how much did it cost? I had mine done for $89 but it's a 12 month warranty. Diane 2011/2/24 Jörg Duurkoop yaw...@gmail.com Hi, I had my PSU repaired (and upgraded as the guy that does it claims that he replaces all the failure-prone parts too and gives a 3-year warranty). Today I put it in my MDD, connected the big black connector to the mainboard, connected two of my startup-disks, monitor, kb and mouse. When I press the power switch on the front, only the LED of the switch is alight and only as long as I press the switch. Before I removed the PSU and sent it in for repair I still got a bong, the red LED on the mainboard was lit and the disks at least tried to start ... So now either my mobo, CPU or both are bad? I'm very sad :-( Anybody has one last suggestion? I have very little money and know nobody with a second MDD that I could abuse ... -- 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.

I would advise this is way too much work and too much bandwidth for an email. Get TeamViewer for you and Grandma (and anyone else you are doing this for).

There are few products so good I sound like I'm ranting about them. This is one such product. My sister, 250 miles away and a computer newbie needed lots of help. From my MDD G4 I can see her old HP laptop and both look over her shoulder and drive her PC. It's free for individuals, just download and use.

I thought someone said you could do this same thing for free using Skype? I don't mean as a recording a file, but that with a live Skype connection you have an option to display your desktop live while you talk live, so you can demonstrate whatever you need interactively, which would seem best to me.
