You were right! I don't have a cleaning CD, but cleaned the eye with cotton and alcohol. It improved greatly. Not sure it's fixed, but that's for sure the problem. Thanks -Jonas -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop

               I have a n ATI 9800 which seems to over heat the MDD dual 1.42GHz. So I put a slot fan in it. For the first time the MDD started doing the wind tunnel effect and then the screen turned off. I have removed the fan. No change. Changed to a different ATI 9800, no change.

I just finished successfully replacing a hard drive in a 1.42GHZ eMac. I'm still alive, and it didn't take me very long. I got to thinking about the suggestion of bleeding the electricity out of the monitor, and I realized that you are more likely to get zapped doing that than just replacing the

I've reset the NVRAM. I'll try the PMU next. I've also zapped the pram. I'll boot into os 9, and insert the installer cd, and it won't show up on the desktop at all. -Jonas -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs -

You sure your OS X discs are CD's and not DVDs? Did you try the Option key boot with the OS X disc in the unit? Yes I'm positive they are CDs. I have installed OS X on other laptops including a clamshell. I have tried the options key to no avail. Thanks for all the input thus far! -Jonas --

I think I might have figured it out. I was reading a website about adapting ATX power supplies to G4 powermacs, and something the author said caught my attention. He said that one drawback is that deep sleep requires 5v and the ATX power supply can't do this, and putting it to sleep could result

It depends if the SCSI card is supported under 10.4.11. If it is, you should be fine. You can run Tiger and Leopard on different hard drives, or install Linux, or all three! -Jonas -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop
