Only the MDD power supplies are drop in replacements If you're looking on ebay then do a search for MDD power supply.

Will this power supply work in my G4 MDD?
My G4 1.42 GHz DP Mac tower won't start up anymore (it got harder and harder to start and finally quit), and I replaced the motherboard battery with no effect, so I guess the power supply has died. There is a G4 power supply for sale on eBay right now: http:// tinyurl.com/22t3gm9 but neither I nor the seller knows whether it will work in this Mac. Can anybody tell me if it will? If it won't, then where can power supplies for this Mac be looked for? And is the swap-out a simple matter of unplugging the old power supply and plugging in the new? Any advice on this would be appreciated. This MDD has been a faithful old beast over the years, a real workhorse, and never gave any trouble before this. It would be worth resurrecting if a new power supply would do it.

The action description says it model# 614-0108, which Google says is for a Rev.2 Sawtooth, so it appears the answer is no, it probably won't work. The one you need is likely #614-0183 in 400 watt. On YouTube there are plenty of videos showing how to modify a standard ATX power supply for use in a MDD Mac, which is a LOT cheaper: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xICg592xJTg -- 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.
