Re: PowerMac Dual 1Ghz Mirror Drive Pop&Burn Power Supply

Hello Folks!

Brief update, sadly, if that's the best way to put it, I cannot see anything visually wrong with the Mac G4 MDD's PSU.

No burn marks, all Capacitors [I]look[/I] fine, none are swollen, and there's no obvious sign of any issues anywhere else.

I'm pressing ahead with Plan B, the fitting of a PC ATX PSU, but may come back to the Mac's original PSU. Obviously, I need to start doing some testing, but it is an old 2003 PSU, so I could be wasting my time if the brand new Corsair...

Hello Folks!

Old Thread, but some idiots (that'll be me), are still using Mac G4 MDD machines.

Two, in fact!

Both G4 MDD Single 1.25 GHz, both from 2003, both bought new in around 2003/2004, but one has failed, and the other is looking suspect.

So, one is still working, but its main Fan breathes up and down like an old man on his last legs, so needs a good check over. I am not willing to take that one down, whilst it still works, until I have the other one back...

Hello!

Joining because busy getting an HP EliteBook 8760w back onto its feet.

This may need a new MotherBoard, and that may in turn may need that to be branded/tattooed with existing machine's details.

Many years ago I was an HP Dealer, but that all lapsed a long time ago, so like many I am having to obtain advice and/or HP DMI Tools from the web, and excellent Forums such as this one.
