The motherboard reset button is right near the PRAM battery (yes--the half AA sized lithium battery). If that doesn't work, unplug it and take the PRAM battery out and leave it unpowered overnight. On Dec 26, 2008, at 1:17 AM, cheryl wrote: The keyboard, mouse and monitor are working fine

Baige G3 -- G4 _ 450 HD troubles

I replaced the 266 MHz G3 with a 450 MHz G4 and changed the jumper position to get a 83.3 MHz bus x 5.5 = 458 MHz G4. It has run flawlessly for a month under 9.2 and OS X 10.2.8. The G4 chip I am using has a bad L2 cache, nevertheless I wanted to try again to enable it so I kept trying

I'm not familiar with LiIon, but with NiCad chargers will refuse to charge a dead battery. I just manually put in a small charge to get the terminal voltage up to an acceptable level then the charger finishes the job. I have some really dead NiCads that respond to this treatment. Safety

Home Depot has the Monster Power surge protectors, which is what I've been using for the last 7 years or so. I'll probably go get one of those to replace this one once they plow the roads so I can drive! I don't have any way to test the pram battery so I may just replace it. I think I'll replace

You need to look at the Grackle chip on the motherboard to see if it can support the 83MHz bus speed. It is the 66 MHz, but it has run rock solid for months, until I used one L2 enabler (I do not recall which). How did you know the L2 was bad? OS X reads 0 and I have never been able to
