Decided to sell it, so let's check it out one last time. Here is where I cleaned it: bit.ly/3ynP3jn If you enjoyed the video, please subscribe to my channel! Website and Blog: macintoshmen.is-great.net
Actually not so much anymore, a photographer in Milano bought it and he told me it is being displayed in his store window. Probably the best guy I could have sold it to ;)
Hi There, Do you know anything how to restore an operating system on a G3, even when it's removed? Since last week i bought a G3 blue/white powermac and a G4 giga ethernet system. for 65 euro The Guy i bought it from wanted to do 'other' creative things with these mac's ;-) The G3 did boot fine into mac os-x server, ofcourse once in the login screen there was now clue or hint for the password ;-) i ended up wiping all of the data by putting the harddisk in a external enclosure. But now the system won't boot :-( putting a copy of os-x 9 or 10 in the cd-rom player isn't going to do anything. I did once get a happy mac :-) but not anymore. it's like the keyboard isn't responding the whole screen stays black, the monitor doesn't respond. My question: what happened? did the videocard gave up. what did i do wrong ? Anyone familiar with G3 or G4 's ?
Hi, sounds either you have a problem with the CD-Drive or with the installation medium. I'd go here: winworldpc.com/product/mac-os-x/rhapsody and download an older OSX (these can run up to 10.3 I think) and burn it to a new CD. Then give it another try. Also try resetting the PRAM, that also sometimes helps.
