HELP!!! Beige PowerMac G3

2009-10-25 Thread Joss
I've had this PowerMac G3 for several years unused because first I couldn't plug in the monitor and it was very difficult to find an adapter. Finally I succeeded and then discovered that the keyboard I had needed USB and the PowerMac had none, so I eventually got a card (which I still haven't

Sleep issue on G4 DA

I've been having some issues with my G4 DA; It will not sleep properly: When I click on sleep from the Apple menu while logged in it will go to sleep, but the monitor will not wake up. Now, lately, when in the log in window, I click on sleep and it will go to sleep, but the intenal fan will keep

Sometimes third party hardware can cause sleep issues ( USB2.0 PCI cards being the main culprit with this problem ) so it may be your PL CPU upgrade - maybe not. I don't think a start button circuit board or fan upgrade would cause this although stranger things have been known to happen I'd
