Would the replacement of the port be the answer, is there an electronic
issue from some controller on the board possible? The Cube boards aren't too
costly but the PM G5 Dual 2.7 isn't that easy to find, so that's the one I
want to repair.

I have a lot of problems with FW on my Cubes.
I just gave up a long time ago.

Hi All
I have a question about the reliability of some Macs. I have two G4 Cube 500MHz
and two Tibook 500MHz machines. The Cubes seem to be somewhat problem prone
compared to the TiBooks. Both have the same 10.4.11 the Cubes have 1.5 GB Ram
and the TiBooks have 1 GB Ram. Otherwise AFAICT all

Obviously the cubes want you to give them to me!
What sort of issues?
Could it be worth cloning one of the ti book hard drives to one of the cubes?
If all runs well from there, it probably means it's a hardware issue at least?
Otherwise, take em apart and give everything (especially contacts) a

The Cubes seem like one of those products that was a good idea at the time, but
just poorly implemented. I've owned 2 450 MHz models and both have similar
problems to what you describe. Both of mine were sent in for a switch repair
procedure when they were new, so they don't have issues with

I agree with Mike. Clean all the contacts, and check to see if it is a
hardware problem or a software problem.
Since you know the Ti-books are reliable, use target disk mode and boot the
cubes off of the Ti-Book's hard drive.

Yes, Stewie that's my drill also, I just think maybe because all my cubes
were somewhat used that maybe the logic boards are a little fuzzy. But the
AHT and all the other stuff I have for testing always say OK, and I have a
lot of different flavors:-) BTW thanks for the firmware info
