GOOD MORNING LISTERS!
In my 20" iMac G4 USB2... this past weekend I added a 500gb, 7200 RPM
HDD, and a Samsung 22X DVD-RW, and 2 sticks of 1gb each RAM, and a
new Battery (1/2AA, 3.6v). All went very well.
The parts were purchased on NewEgg.com. I thought about OWC, but
some of the exact same parts were about 10 to 20% higher than
NewEgg. Like the DVD was $32 @ OWC, but $18 @ NewEgg. The RAM chips
were exactly the same price with the same warranty. NewEgg's price
on the HDD was also lower... $96.00 (OWC) vs $80.00 (NewEgg).
It was relatively easy, as advice obtained on this list, as well as
the actual instructions with pictures from Accelerate Your Mac...
>http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/iMac_g4/imacg4_takeapart.html<,
made the job go smoothly and without any surprises.
One thing that was really stressed was using Thermal Paste on the
parts that require it, and of course, grounding yourself to avoid
static shock syndrome.
Of note... the 160gb HDD that was in the iMac G4 20" USB2 was a
Seagate 7200 IDE set to Cable Select. The DVD Drive that came out
(Apple Super-Drive) was also set to Cable Select.
My sincerest "Thanks" to Tina and Jim for their step-by-step help in
this undertaking.
Thanks to the powers that be to have a tremendous list such as this!
GOD BLESS - HAVE A OUTSTANDING WEEK!
