Hi folks,
Just bot an old G4 power PC dual processor - 1 GB each.
This might be the mirror door.
It was working for a while, but now I'm getting the "panic- were hanging in
there" message at start up.
I tried everything
BUT now it looks to me like the little fan next to the processor
cooling fins is NOT rotating. I am guessing this might be worth
investigating further.
So I need help with how to take the next step.
Looks like I have to remove the fins to get to the fan?
Looks like the fins are clipped on with two clips?
Should I proceed and take them off?
Are they glued on as well? How do I deal with the glue?
I don't see where the wire is that runs to the fan either - maybe its just a loose
connection?
Any ideas appreciated-
I don't think it is software related because I have 3 hard drives all with boot-able 10.3 or OS9.2 systems on them and none of them are allowing a boot up.
I did get a boot up to normal just after I disconnected the CD/DVD rom drive because the drive was from another earlier 450hz G4, but then next time I arrived back to panic again.
thx
