Repair of power supply G4 MDD

I have several G4 MDD computers and three of them began to fail.

It's the old problem of the key lights up, but the computer does not illuminate.

As I always use during at least two of these computers, I would like to find a solution. I know that some people are proposing supplies second hand but are destined to failure even in the future.

I want to know is if anyone has found the source of the failure?

I guess internet research it's capacitors in the power supply?

Someone at - it further information in order to be able to buy a few new caps and replace?

Best regards and happy new year

You can convert an ATX PSU for use on a G4...

  • G4 MDD power supply Issue

    My MDD was recently stop only two or three minutes after a cold start. The power led lights up, the gray screen with the Apple logo appears with the spinning wheel, but then the machine suddenly loses power as if the power cord was disconnected. These are the things I've already tried:

    1. Removed the PRAM Battery
    2. Disconnected all devices except the keyboard and the monitor
    3. Tried a different power cord

    Start in safe mode did not help. The fans are all running, the red LED lights on the logic board and disk drives seem to work. This could be a power supply issue or a problem with the motherboard and is it possible that I can definitely identify the problem without being able to start the G4? The startup time has been considering more when everything worked last week, would that be a clue? I've owned this machine for more than twelve years and it put to the test so I wonder if it's time to retire him.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

    Hi, looks a lot like a problem of heat from the CPU, thermal paste is usually good for 5 years or more.

  • Power supply for Powermac MDD

    Hey all,.

    I got a Powermac MDD dead sitting in my room for a few years now that I picked up for free because it lights. I came to the conclusion that it was the power supply, so I took and threw it years. Now, here I am, no power supply and one useless MDD.

    I really want to get this thing to the top and running, but as the price of the power supply on ebay are absolutely ridiculous. I hope that someone here has a job, they are willing to participate with and sell to me. (Pay me for the part + shipping costs). Also interested in an OS disc that will work for the machine, so I can stand him up and running.

    If eBay is too pricing heartburn, try a Mac (MUG) user GFroup in your area. This site will help you locate a:

    http://appleusergroupresources.com/find-a-group/

    As a general rule, you don't have to physically visit the groups for assistance. Several times, simply by sending an e-mail "looking to buy" published groups addresses will receive a response.

    The other option is to look for a private LABEL job and use it for parts. The cost of a scrap computer may be less than the PSU.

  • On Satellite P100 power supply problem

    Hai
    I bought the new laptop Satellite P100. Suddenly it does not start (no power to notebook) and the same time, I have only checked by the only power a/c no result, also do not charge the battery. I put t know what is the reason. Can someone give suggestion?
    Thank you bye.

    If the power light is blinking there is probably a problem with the electronic power supply. In this case, the laptop sends flashes code. Read this code, technicians can identify the problem.
    Please, don't waste your time but the closest service provider contact allowed in your country.
    After 18 months of that guarantee must be valid (it depends of course on where you live) as well as the repair must be free.

  • Power supply drive hard 320 is death - where to find replacement?

    Hello

    The power supply for my 320 GB external hard drive (PX1223E - 1 32) that I bought a year ago died. I'm a little annoyed that the player has been barely used and only just out of storage after a move of the House!

    Can anyone help to track down a replacement to the United Kingdom? It's the brand Dura Micro Inc. AC adapter 100-240V 1. 2 a + 12V 1. 2 a + 5V 2A and the PDC resembles a connector 4-pin type 'DIN' of power.

    Does anyone have a contact email address for Customer service/returns under UK that it is possible to replace it under warranty.

    Thanks in advance,

    Mark

    Hello

    What s about your dealer?
    In your case I would contact the retailer where you bought this part and if your warranty is valid, you should get a replacement unit or unit must be sent for repair.

    When the operating system is loaded is recognized correctly battery?

    In any case, this behavior is not normal and maybe you should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They can check the battery and the power supply electronic and see what's wrong here. The warranty is valid if new battery or repair will be free.

  • Equium P300 - broken power supply

    Last summer, I bought the laptop above.
    He was in to be repaired twice for the same issue - broken power supply.
    Today the issue happened again so once more, end up with a useless laptop.

    I am so in anger that my computer is either defective or it is not be repaired correctly.

    Anyone know if this is a common problem?

    Broken power supply-> do you mean the power adapter or the power plug?

    However, I doubt that this is a common problem
    I think that it s simply no chance or maybe the technician has done something wrong, who knows.

    In your case it s highly recommended to contact the ASP guys again (which replaced this part in the past) and to clarify this issue

    Good luck

  • Strange on my Satellite A100 power supply problem

    Hi I hope it's just me in Sun.

    I plugged my power on my laptop today and found that no power is getting to the laptop. I checked all the obvious things like the fuse and have even tested the output of the power supply with a multimeter and I get what looks like the correct voltage.

    However, when the power supply is plugged into my laptop blue "alternating current" does not and windows wants to say I'm running out of battery.

    Someone else had this problem? It is a work of repair and return? (I hope really not).

    Thank you

    Doug

    > Is this a work of repair and return
    I'm afraid, m Yes :(

    But the question is; malfunction of what part?  :|
    Maybe that your inquiry is good and everything is ok with the AC adapter / CC.
    This means that there could be something wrong with the laptop itself.

    Maybe it's only one loses the connection between the plug and the motherboard or most serious problem as a malfunction electronics power?  :|

    Who knows. It of very difficult to say what's wrong without any diagnostic tests
    I recommend you contact a technician in your country. He could check the laptop and found much faster fault as a user simply ordinary like you and me.

    Good luck

  • Manufacture of extreme dual band 802.11 airport "buzz sound" when the power supply is attached

    Hello

    which is very probably wrong with my Airport Extreme?

    My Airport extreme dual band 802.11 done "buzzing" sound when the power supply is attached. The sound disappears immediately when power is disconnected and begins as soon as you connected again. It started two weeks ago, and it's really annoying.

    THX,

    Laura

    Most likely, the question is a bad capacitor in the diet. These can fail and are, unfortunately, not serviceable by the user... unless you have experience with electronic repair. You can try Apple, but chances are that you will have the best chance to get a replacement from another source, such as Impact Computers & Electronics or eBay.  I'm sorry.

  • loose connection to the power supply

    I have a HP Pavilion e043cl 15 Notebook PC with name of the model E5K58UA I bought August 2013.  My best friend bought the same brand/model from the same place 2 weeks before me.  We BOTH have had this same problem almost from the beginning.  Speaking for mine... it became worst Crescent until I don't know if it will load OR start the next time I try to turn it on.  I have "glued it" the only way he will now.  It changes almost every day, so I have to move it and the re - paste.  We feel that it was a problem of hardware design for almost that we bought them.  Unfortunately, none of us buy the extended warranty.  It was mainly in the part that we bought at Costco with my Costco AmEx that allow you to add an extra year warranty and apparently are not now. I have done some research and think that it is the connection to the computer.  Can anyone confirm that, and if so, where would you recommend that I buy a replacement?  I don't want to spend a ton of money given these were $399 new.  I am sure that I am able to fix as well.  I also wanted it to go on the record it seems be a VERY common problem which should NOT happen on a laptop this quickly.  None of us carry these computers around with us on a daily or even weekly.  It seems quite ridiculous to deal with this problem already.  I got a DELL computer for 7 years.  I had to replace the entire power cord, but the connection port was never a problem.  This seems put together much cheaper.  I feel HP should replace the port free of charge, just don't expect that this will happen.  A consultant where I can get the spare part required at a reasonable price would be greatly appreciated.  I have confidence in particular a HP original spare part because those original seems not be made good in the first place.  Thank you very much!

    There is no parts but HP parts. The power supply is on a dongle that plugs into the motherboard. They don't directly solder it on the map more.

  • sudden loss of battery power, connection lost, lose all power from power supply disconnected, does not recognize battery

    I have a Sony VAIO & use the largest of the battery (extended life) since I bought it 3 years ago fighting.  I was always able to automatically switch the power supply of the battery by simply unplugging, or computer plugging in AC on leash.  And, I was always able to see the battery down icon to the left of the screen (taskbar) & it would show % battery remaining.  Now, all at once, as soon as the power supply cord is UN-plugged the laptop turns off completely, no reserve power at all & I can't find the info of the battery. anywhere on the computer.  Icon no longer appears in the lower left corner & when I go into the power settings, the "Battery 1" icon is grayed out, so it seems that the computer is not finding all the batteries.  It happened so suddenly.  Could battery comes essentially lost all its power & become non-existent to the computer, or is this a computer problem, battery not recognize.  Not sure if this puts some I can fix somewhere, or if I need to have a computer repair man to fix the real computer.  Please HELP, I am desperate to solve this problem, as a laptop does not really serve its purpose if it must be connected to the hard power all the time!  TX in advance for a help, suggestions.

    Yes, most things are cheaper to replace than to trouble.

    But if the laptop seems to work ok otherwise, he might just be easier to see if there is a recall on the faulty battery or if it is still under warranty.  In addition, sometimes you can add a little more memory to the old system and see some performance improvements

    on the other hand, replacement of the laptop can be problematic because the old machine has all the programs installed on it, registered product keys and has accumulated years of personal files.  and sometimes old expensive programs won't work on newer versions of windows.

    the argument would be to close the new machine on the standards you eventually accept.

  • Windows does not load and displays a black screen when it is connected to the power supply

    Original title - Windows Vista running on my laptop Sony VAIO

    Trying to turn on my laptop using the built in battery nothing happens.  When the laptop is connected to the power supply and turned on Windows does not.  It shows something in the sense that it does not properly off.  It tries to load back to a system restore point before the last stop, but seems to fail again during this process.  All that is displayed is a black screen. Currently the power on light is on, the battery light is on, but the drive activity light is off.

    Yet once again, I switched on the laptop and finally the Startup Repair process is automatically called.  After the display of the bar to attempt repairs, the system has been repaired successfully.  As a result, the I ran my Norton anti-virus, followed by Windows Updatesoftware.

  • Power Supply problem when installing Windows 7

    So I'll keep this short and to the point. I was upgraded yesterday from Vista to 7. Has made all the necessary updates and restart before installing 7. While it was installing, I weppe out of the room, came back and my monitor was empty... Silly me, I thought it was a reboot during installation. Futher glance, the monitor is in standby mode and the PC itself has been disabled. I waited about 10 minutes and it was always off. So I hit the power button, and it will not turn back. Tried the flipping of switches, different cables. Even called tech support, to get your warranty has expired and its $ 99 for me you tell the problem... Then he became the Lady on the line, telling me something I already knew... I got a power supply problem and I had to mapy 340.00 to repair... My question is this... It was just the stars lining up properly and my diet is to bite the dust while I have been upgraded or is there more behind it?

  • No video after having replaced the graphics card and power supply

    I have a desktop HP Pavilion m9515y PC. The graphics card that came with it (NVidia GeForce 9600 GS, 768 MB) did not suit the minimum specification required by a game that I played. Things in the game has been very slow - I could see a delay of s ~0.5 to move my mouse on the splash screen for the game.

    Today, I bought a new graphics (NVidia Geforce GTX 550Ti, 1 GB) card and a Corsair 700W PSU to replace the 350W one that came with the system.

    From the outset that I messed up something. It's been a while since I opened the box and I thought wrongly that the top panel (with the rubber surface) to come off before the side panel could be deleted. I removed the two screws now the top panel in place and slipped it in the process it disconnect and two thin black wires which I do not know the function. It was attached near the power button and one was attached to the rear of the Panel. The sons have stripped the ends rather than a connector of some sort and I don't know how they connect back or if they are the cause of the problem that I see now.

    In any case, I advanced and removed the old PSU and video card and replace them with the new. Two of them are significantly larger than the components, they replaced, but they managed to adapt with some maneuvers. All cards are well-placed in the PCI slots.

    The power is connected hard disk, DVD drive, the motherboard and the new video card. I'm not aware of any other connections that need to be made to food. There was not much clearance between the power supply and the back of the DVD player, but I was able to get the data and clinging to the DVD of power cables.

    After having done all that, I hooked my monitor DVI cable, plugged in the power cable and turned on the power. When I plug it in, the power button on the top of the tower is illuminated and the power seems to work. However, my monitor indicates that there is no video signal. I tried to put the old return video card, but I don't always have a video signal. Because I can't get a video signal, I can't tell if the PC is start or not.

    Does anyone know the purpose of the wires that were connected to the top of the Tower?

    They would cause they cause this problem if they are not correctly connected?
    Any suggestions for the possible causes of the absence of a signal from a video card?

    I just took the PC to a repair shop and it turns out that the problem was quite simple: I don't have the PCU power cable 4 pins hanging. Everything seems to start fine when we hung out at the shop. Fortunately, the place that I took did not even charge me what as they don't charge co-pays and since it is such a simple fix.

    Now I feel kind of stupid, but I know better next time...
