PowerMac G5 Won't Power Up, Light Stays On
Hi all, hoping I can get some help with this problem. I received two identical 1.6GHZ G5 Towers. I plugged them both in, and as soon as I plugged in the monitor, the computer powered up and booted into OSX. I shut it down, but instead of shutting down, it just restarts. I tried plugging the monitor and keyboard in, then the power cord. It didn't power up, but the power light stays on, and the computer won't power up when you press the power button. I tried zapping the PRAM, which didn't help. These two computers have the exact same problem, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -Jonas -- 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.

Re: Last gasp for G3 OS9 Browser - please help
Kris, I think you're thinking of the later G3 iMacs. For a G3 333MHZ iMac, because of lack of FireWire ports, you can only run up to 10.3.9. Unless you use a tool like XPostFacto, in which case you could run 10.4.11. The ram maxes out at 512MB. Yes, you can install up to 10.4.11, but you'd better max out the RAM at 1 GB, and even then you won't get any smooth video playback in OS X, but for general browsing it would probably suffice. -- -Jonas -- 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.

Re: PowerMac G5 One Beep Before Chime
So I took out all the ram, and double checked each module. I replaced modules just to be sure I had them all matched up. I powered on the computer, it beeped once, then chimed, and booted into open firmware. The message at the top of the screen said: Device still fails after x recoveries. In order to run AppleJack, I needed to install an OS. The Leopard install froze with the spinning beach ball about half way through.

PowerMac G5 One Beep Before Chime
Hi all, I'm working on a Dual 2.3GHZ PowerMac G5. I put in eight matched 512MB ram chips, a new hard drive, a new optical drive, and have run the Apple Service Diagnostic over 20 times, and it passed them all. Now, I just started it up, it beeped once, then proceeded with normal booting. All the ram is recognized. Another interesting thing: The power light is pulsing very quickly. The system is now running, and seems fine, but the power light is pulsing. I have no idea what to do now. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: PowerMac G5 One Beep Before Chime
Thanks for all the replies so far! The power light is normal now. Twice now, when I've booted it up it goes into Open Firmware, and says Device still fails after x tries or something like that. I ran the ASD again, but after it passed, It all of a sudden shut off. This was about 10 hours after it passed, I've run it for longer than that after passing, so I know this isn't normal. There is no service lights on. I will try resetting the PMU. Any ideas why it would shut off? If it were a problem with the ram, how would I tell for sure. It's difficult to test, because it's a random problem.

Re: water in the laptop....
What laptop is it? I would take it apart as much as possible, use an air compressor, or buy some cans of compressed air, and blow out as much of the moisture as possible. Then set it upside down near a heat source to dry for a few days. You will most likely have to replace the keyboard either way though. A few months ago, I spilled nearly a full cup of coffee directly onto my laptop. It shut itself off right away, which isn't usually a good sign. I immediately plugged in my air compressor and blew out as much of the coffee as possible, then took it completely apart. I took it all apart, and spread it out on a clothes rack in front of our wood stove. I let it dry for a few days, put it back together, and EVERYTHING, including the keyboard, WORKED! I spilled so much coffee, that it actually washed away the thermal compound between the processor and the heat sink, so I applied more thermal compound before I put it together.

Re: External hard drive vs. online back up sites
I have two 1TB hard drives that are in my main computer. One is a Hitachi, and the other is a Western Digital. Never had any problems with either of them. I've had them for more than a year, and the computer, including both hard drives are have been running 24/7. I would be a little worried about trusting online backups, because you never know if you can really trust that your data will remain there, or if it will remain private. That may just be my paranoia speaking of course... I would get two hard drives, and have the primary set to backup everything onto the other drive on a regular basis.

Re: Upgrade my Quicksilver
If you end up putting in a SATA card, you won't have to worry about the 128GB limit, at least with the drives connected to that card. Max the ram out to 1.5GB. Put in a SATA card. If you have the stock video card, it's most likely good enough for anything but gaming. As far as an optical drive upgrade, you can put pretty much anything in there that is IDE. As far as a processor upgrade goes, if possible, put a Dual 1GHZ processor in. Only if you can find a reasonable price though, otherwise it may not be worth it. Anything that Sonnet sells, like the 1.8GHZ Dual, would be best, but usually the price for that processor alone is higher than the price of a high end G5 PowerMac. -Jonas -- 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.

Re: 22 Apple LCD - brightness a little uneven
I think that it is either a back light problem, or an inverter board problem. The inverter board power the back light. I've had this issue with several laptops I've used in the past, and just ignored it. I'm not sure about replacing back lights, but inverter boards should be easy to replace. As far as safety, I've always been under the impression that they weren't dangerous to work on, as long as unplugged. Don't take my word for it though, I might be wrong. I would try to download a manual for the monitor, and see how difficult it would be to replace either the back light, or the inverter board. -Jonas -- 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.

Re: Selling upgraded Macs
Am I the only one realizing that your new Winbox for $300-$400 running Win7 with modern multi-core cpus, will be running like crap after a few months? Whereas your mac, no matter how old, will be running great. For the average computer user, they don't NEED a new PC, and the old Mac will work out better for them in the long run. Here's an example. My mom bought an Emachines PC a few years ago, running Windows XP, for around $350 with monitor and keyboard and everything. It ran great, for a few months, but it got SO slow, that I actually traded it out with a G3 iMac which I got for free, which worked great for about 3 years, before I replaced it with an eMac 800MHZ. She got WAY more use out of that free G3, than the PC she paid for. And we never have to buy and renew virus protection for a Mac:). It all boils down to what you want to use the computer for, but a new PC with Windows, using faster hardware, isn't going to out perform a G4 in the long run. A computer is only as fast as the weakest link. In the PC's case, the weak link is Windows. -Jonas -- 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.

Re: Selling upgraded Macs
I totally agree with Austin. I hardly ever have to do anything with my moms eMac. Bruce, my mom's PC didn't really need to be replaced, just cleaned up as you said. However, my point was that it turned out WAY better to use a Mac that was 6+ years older than to bother cleaning the PC. Aside from the occasional permissions repair, there is no cleaning necessary on a Mac. Yes Windows may run fine if you obsessively maintain it, and make sure that it don't get full of Virus's and stuff, but Mac will run fine WITHOUT doing any of that time consuming stuff. Yes all the random tool bars, and icons on the task bar do make a Windows computer really slow, and I'm sure that was part of the problem, you are missing my point though, Mac doesn't have that problem to begin with! As far as virus protection, having the best virus protection possible on a PC will help with performance, but you don't have to worry about that at all with a Mac! Again you missed my point completely. Yes a G4 will not play Netflix, but other than that it will serve the average computer user. The higher end G4's WILL run Hulu, and Youtube. Actually even some of the lower end G4's, like my Dual 500MHZ run Youtube fine. If someone wants a computer 'that just works', they aren't going to want to mess with virus protection on Windows, and the constant work it would take to keep the system useable. True, a G4 system won't serve every user, but a dead Windows system won't serve any users. -Jonas -- 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.

Re: Selling upgraded Macs
If I had to choose personally, I would take a G4 over ANY Windows system, because in my honest opinion, Windows, any version of it, absolutely SUCKS. It might run great for a few months, but even with virus protection it will be slowing down pretty fast. I have used Windows machines, and Mac OSX machines will consistently run faster and better for longer than the Windows machines. Besides, I just think that Mac OSX is way more intuitive than Windows. This is coming from someone who converted over from Windows. Not all G4's are the same. They range from 350MHZ - Dual 1.42GHZ, and even Dual 1.8GHZ with a Sonnet upgrade. Saying that a G4 will not work with skype or youtube is a generalization. There are some that won't, but the higher end G4's, will do pretty much everything. All said and done, I think that the higher end G4's are still great machines, for basic computing, and still perform really well. Just my 2 cents. -Jonas -- 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.

Re: Xserve advice?
I had the same idea as you, but soon decided against it when i bought two of them. The first generation G4, and the second generation G4. The first one was a Dual 1GHZ, and the second was a Dual 1.33GHZ. The first one was LOUD. I mean LOUD. The second one, was still loud, but better than the first. The lack of an AGP slot sucks for the G4, and unless you use a USB, or FireWire hard drive, you will have to spend quite a bit on an Apple Drive Module for it. -Jonas -- 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.

Re: OT: Linksys WET54G Wireless Bridge
Firmware update is a good idea, I'll check the version. I'm not going to trash it, I'm just not going to use it for this.

I will try to describe the problem: I set all the settings according to what the manual says, I set it to be configured via DCHP from the router it is connecting to, I connect to the wireless network, enter the password, and the encryption type. I can't get on the internet. It gives my computer no IP address.

In the process of typing this, I just realized that the Buffalo is a DHCP server, AS WELL as the NetGear router... I will need to disable the DHCP server setting on one of those routers for it to have the possibility of working correctly. I have read the manual, and set all the settings as it suggested. I will change the DHCP server setting on the NetGear tomorrow and see if that fixes it. I'll report back then.

Apple has no reason to support all the different hardware out there. However, if you buy the right hardware, it's pretty simple to install Leopard or Snow Leopard on a PC. I currently run two Hackintosh's, one a desktop and one a laptop. They run great and are totally worth the time it takes to set them up. -Jonas -- 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.

Re: Good time machine alternative for Tiger on a DA 733
I use Carbon Copy Cloner. (CCC). It's free, and will do a total backup. I'm not sure how similar it is to Time Machine, but you CAN schedule backups with it.

Re: Buying old Mac Pros
I would have to get a killer deal to make it worth buying an Intel mac. I've got a Hackintosh laptop I use, and a Hackintosh desktop I'm using constantly. They both work great, the laptop only costing me $90, and the desktop was free. I've got two 1TB hard drives in the desktop, set up on a backup system, and a DL DVD Burner.

Re: 533MHZ Digital Audio G4 won't boot to OS9.1 retail CD
You should be able to install via a universal non-machine specific installer. Here are a couple things to check: Just for clarification, you said you have 10.4 Panther? Those are two different operating systems. Are you running 10.3 Panther, or 10.4 Tiger? When you are booted into OSX, will the operating system see the OS 9.1 install disc?

Re: Powerbook G4 1.67ghz does not chime on startup (OSX 10.5.8)
Yes, try zapping the pram for sure. Hit the power button, and then hold down command+options+p+r until the machine restarts a few times. Also, those laptops had an ambient light sensor that would automatically adjust the brightness of the screen.

Re: Ungrateful Apple abandons older Mac service
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 hard drive. It is very easy to avoid even touching the components of the CRT monitor when replacing the hard drive. The only way you're going to get zapped, is if you have no idea what you are doing, or you try to bleed it.

While this machine has the stock power supply, what if it is faulty, and that is why it freezes after waking up.

I have not worked on an eMac but I did own a late G3 iMac and I believe both can be worked on without too much difficulty - certainly easier than a clamshell iBook. If you take the appropriate precautions as previously mentioned, and pay attention to what goes where (an ice cube tray can be helpful for keeping screws segregated) you'll be ok.

And yes the eMac and iMac are both easier than than the Clamshell. I had never opened up an eMac before when I first upgraded the optical drive in the original 700MHZ model. The biggest pain is the wire mesh that you will have to remove. I'm not sure if it is even necessary to put it back on, but the only way to do so, will require cutting some of the mesh away, especially around the corners. (You'll see what I mean if you take the machine apart). Other than that, just keep track of the screws and you'll be fine. The newer models actually don't have the mesh, it's just good old metal, which is A LOT easier to work with. (I replaced a hard drive in a 1.25GHZ eMac). As for danger, I seriously doubt it's that dangerous. I suppose you are sort of opening up a CRT monitor, which can be dangerous, just stay away from the components in the actual CRT, and if you are worried about it, I'm sure there are measures that can be taken in order to drain any electricity from the CRT before you work on it.

Re: Old Mac never die.
I'm a little late to the conversation, but that GigE should be a great machine for some time yet! When it gets to old I would look into getting a Hackintosh. They are amazing machines, and dirt cheap. I'm currently using the following hardware: Dell Optiplex GX270 2.8GHZ w/ 2GB ram (4GB max) runs Leopard great. Only paid $30 for the whole machine. Dell Latitude 110L. 1.6GHZ w/768MB ram (1.12GB Max) runs leopard well enough for the small amount of ram it has. Only paid $100 for the machine. Both are cheap, yet capable machines. Imagine the capabilities of a Core 2 Duo, or Quad core. -Jonas -- 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.

Re: Putting 17 screen on a 15 g4 iMac?
Thanks for the input, but I've decided it's to much work. I'm going to sell it as it is. Thanks! -Jonas On Sun, Nov 28, 2010 at 2:53 PM, Tina K. penguir...@gmail.com wrote: On 2010/11/24 19:48, Jonas Ulrich so eloquently wrote: I have a working 800mhz 15 iMac g4, and a broken 17 g4 iMac. Would it be possible to put the 17 screen on the 15 iMac? Even if this is possible I would be concerned about the counterweight in the base. Is the 15 notably lighter than the 17?

Quicksilver Freezes during software update
Here's the specs of the machine: 867MHZ G4 Processor 1GB (256 + 256+ 512) 80GB Hard drive Original DVDRW SuperDrive Airport Card Fresh install of Leopard 10.5.4 The facts: Passed Rember ram test Passed Quick and Extended AHT tests. The problem: I haven't used the computer a lot, but this only seems to happen during software update. I get the update, and click restart, it hangs for a moment, then installs and restarts. After that it freezes up. The mouse moves, but nothing else will respond. After a hard restart you can run the software update, get other updates, and it will freeze up somewhere along the way. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -Jonas -- 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.
