That I'm clueless on as ASD is typically only available to Apple certified
techs, not the general public.

I've used the AHT on an identical machine before, and the mouse worked.
Which version of ASD works on these machines?

Thanks!

I don't believe the mouse works under AHT, I know it won't work under ASD.

No Mouse with AHT

[Jonas Ulrich]

I just got a G4 iMac. It's a 15" 800MHZ model. I wanted to run Apple
Hardware Test on it to be sure it was solid before I start working on it.
It currently has 10.3.9 on it and the mouse works fine, but as soon as I
boot into the hardware test, the mouse won't move. The light on the mouse
is on, and I'm able to use the Tab key on the keyboard to switch between
the different categories, so I know the machine isn't frozen. I've tried
old puck mice, and newer pro mice, but no change.

I would really appreciate some input on this.

Thanks in advance.

I've done similar things on my (non-samsung) TV via HDMI to my (non iMac) Mac 
as well as my iPad and they worked without a hitch regardless of which HDMI 
port I used.

Within those caveats, I suspect the issue is a bad cable or bad adapter.

HDMI cables are available VERY reasonably from Monoprice 


6' cable for $3.50 cannot be beat.

Silly question, has he gone in to the Macs System Preferences in the display 
section and clicked on 'Detect Displays' If the Mac isn't sending a signal, the 
Samsung won't detect one.

If the Mac cannot detect other displays with the thing attached, then I'd look 
at the cable, the adapter and  finally the iMac or TV. Sadly for that you need 
another HDMI receiver or source.
