Hi Bruce How are things in AZ?
I just thought I should update my previous postings on my 2 iMac G3s - One Bondio and one FlowerPower - you will recall the Bondi doesn't want to do anything but show the switch light when on and turn off if held down etc. No sounds - no movement! The Flower power I bought in working but unudated mode and I set about correcting it with the intention of getting it to 10.4.11 and working as a juke box. It needed OS X updates and more memory. I bought 10.4 on Disk through Ebay and it is fine but I bought two DIMMS to Max out memory from Amazon but when I put them in, plugged in and switched on it chimed then stooped and despite removing the DIMMs and trying to reboot with the old DIMMs in again or none at all it wont boot. Its now in the same mode as Bondi! I never even got to upgrade to 10.4 (I have the combo upgrade from 10.4 to 10.4.11 waiting! Sad! Meantime a friend has given me two MBPs both 2011 Unibodys one 15" one 13". They were his two daughters and have not exactly been looked after - one has had tea with milk and sugar on the keyboard the bigger one has a cracked screen and a kink in the case where some mugger dropped it on board a boat in Africa where she was on a study tour and grabbed her bag which she grabbed back and he let go! I was looking at replacing the keyboard myself but decided to get it done - looked at IFixit and a local service in UK but once I had spoken to the Apple Store (23 miles away!) I realised that the costs would only be fractionally more but that they would do more than just replace the keyboard as part of the job, so its going in there today or tomorrow when I collect the 15" which had a swelling battery, a sticky out trackpad and a cracked screen. The plan is to try to get a 24" Apple Display and use the bigger one in clamshell mode as a desktop possibly for music and photos depending on if the iMac Flower power gets fixed. If I get the two MBPs sorted and thats looking good at present then I might just open up the iMacs but I am very cautious about the CR Tube electrics as every one warns of the dangers! iFixit seem to have quite good take apart instructions for iMacs but Im not sure as we are what I am looking for! Any thoughts?
