Changing CPU only in a G3 400 slot loader

Here's one I can't find anywhere in the discussions. Is the CPU on the iMac logic board removable as in ZIF? I upgraded the cpu in my G4 Yikes! and now have a 400MHz G4 cpu lying around. Thought it might be an interesting experiment to put it into the iMac if it's cpu is removable.

Hey Perry,
The processor is not a user serviceable item with the slot load iMacs. There are companies that will install a new G4 for around $200. But You have to send the motherboard to them.

Can't install OS 8.6 on iMac "DV" (400) Slot Loading?

I have an iMac "DV" (400) Slot Loading that I am trying to install the original system on (8.6, if I'm not mistaken). It has 128 mbs of RAM, a 10 gb HD, and currently no system installed on the hard drive. I have updated the firmware to 4.1.9.
The problem is that the iMac won't boot from the install CD for me to do the installation. The iMac used to have OS 9 installed on it, and when I tried to run the installer with the computer booted from 9, it told me it couldn't run on this machine. I believe I have the correct installation CD. I have also tried a couple of other installation CDs, and neither 8.5 or 8.6 will boot this computer.
Is there a way I can get 8.6 installed on this machine with the 8.6 CD, or is it just not possible for me to install 8.6 any more?

Hi Jon
Load the install CD into the Mac then power off (with the CD still inserted), on rebooting but before the chime, hold down letter C on the keyboard, that will boot from the install CD to let you do a system install.
You did not note whether you had other programs/files on the iMac that you want to keep, but if not, I would suggest that you do a complete "clean install" by re-formating/initializing the HD, then install the OS.
I would also suggest that you partition the HD into 3 (or more) partitions, 1 for the main system, 1 (or more) for your other programs/files and 1 for a "back up system", the logic being the main system is your default "boot-up" while the "back-up" system is what you boot to do maintenance/de-frag etc on the main system with a utility such as Norton's Utilities or similar.
I would also suggest that you have a copy of Norton's (or similar) on both systems, that way you can "chop and change" systems to do the maintenance. Proper maintenance/de-fraging cannot be done to the "boot-up" system that you boot from.
Hope this is of some help.

Change CPU only, not booting up. MSI KT8 Neo2 F

Hi,
I'm not sure of the chipset so I might be in the wrong forum but I have a (now) 2 year old MSI KT8 Neo2 F (I think F/FIR?...NOT a dual core). I built the PC 2 years ago and it's been doing fine with a AMD 3500+ CPU.
I had wanted an FX-55 since those days and they're now very affordable from Newegg ($139 shipped) so I bought one. According to all written info that I've seen, my motherboard should easily support the FX-55:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_cpu_support_detail.php?UID=608&NAME=MS-6702E&kind=1
So, it arrives and I installed it but now the PCs not booting up. The CPU fan's turning, it's trying but all I'm getting is a black screen. The first time I tryed to start it, after a few seconds it shut off. I unplugged the PC, removed the cpu to double check everything but found nothing wrong. It's installed correctly. After seeing that I'm still not seeing anything on my screen the second start attempt, I unplugged it.
Now, I remember that I had problems 2 years ago when I swapped out different hard drives. It wouldn't boot unless I reset the CMOS jumper (I believe that's the correct term?). Might that be what I need to do now to swap CPUs?
Anyone else run into this?

Hi!
You have a K8T Neo2 (6702E) and you need to flash bios to support this cpu. Use version 9.3 or 9.2 (I prefer 9.3 myself, since I ran into trouble with the 9.2, but most people are fine using both). Try starting your system in single channel (using only one memory module in the slot closest to the CPU. Flash bios using a bootable floppy with CD-Rom support or bootable CD with rom-file and flash utility on CD.
Flashing is at your own risk always.
Good luck!
PS: Please clear CMOS after flashing. Don't forget to disconnect from AC when you reset cmos.

Can't install OS 8.6 on iMac DV Slot Loading - firmware?

I have an iMac "DV" (400) Slot Loading (http://support.apple.com/specs/imac/iMacSlotLoading.html) that I am trying to install the original system on (8.6, if I'm not mistaken). It has 128 mbs of RAM, a 10 gb HD, and currently no system installed on the hard drive. I have updated the firmware to 4.1.9.

Is there a way I can get 8.6 installed on this machine with the 8.6 CD, or is it just not possible for me to install 8.6 any more?
Could the firmware update be preventing me from booting from 8.6?

iMac "DV" (400) Slot Loading Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25517 shows that later releases of the same iMac came with 9.0 through 9.0.4. Those that did can't use an 8.6 install disk.
You can sometimes plug in the serial number of the Mac in the http://www.apple.com/support/ search engine at the bottom right hand corner of the page where it says to do so, to get an idea of how old the Mac is.
Knowing that date, will tell you the likely operating system to have been installed. Since 9.0 was released in October 1999, a date after October 1999, would indicate the Mac can't boot 8.6.

Upgrading iMac G3 400 DVD slot-loader to Tiger

My iMac's hard drive is dying and have purchased a brand new Seagate Barracuda 7200 8MB cache 120GB ATA IDE hard drive on eBay to replace it (haven't received it yet). Also am going to replace the PRAM battery and add 256MB of RAM. The Mac currently only has 64MB of RAM in it!! Will add more RAM when I can afford to...
I have checked the System Profile before the hard drive gives up the ghost and the firmware will need updated. The Mac has OS 9.0 on it. Had to buy a OS 9.0 full version disk on eBay (to install on the new drive) and happened to find the 9.2.1 update CD at a garage sale last year! Have downloaded the 9.2.2 update from the Apple website.
After I replace the hard drive and install OS 9.0, the 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 updates and the firmware update, here is my question:
Can Tiger be installed after the above installations, or would I have to install Jaguar (that's the other version of OS X I have on hand) before Tiger can be installed?
I want to use the iMac as an "all-in-one" DVD player for the most part. Tried playing a DVD on it before the factory hard drive started messing up again, but it couldn't find the video card or something. Am sure the hard drive is losing files as it's slowly dying...
Thanks.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It's far better to start your own thread then resurrect one from the end of last year - if you do you'll get several opinions.
10.2.8 is a useable OS and if you have no legacy OS9 applications then you don't need to keep the OS 9 System Folder or Applications (the former of which allows OS X to run Classic mode). Just delete them. Before you delete OS 9 boot in to it ( Apple Menu > System Preferences... > Startup Disk ) and ensure that you have installed this firmware update (link). Technically it is required prior to OS X but will cause serious harm if you go above 10.2.8 without it. After that you can delete OS 9.
This iMac is going to be a pretty lean and not so mean iMovie machine. You might wish to consider giving her the full 1Gb of RAM and 128Gb Hard Drive.

How to change CPU clock speed for conserving power?

Hi, I own a compaq CQ60 404CA and I am wondering how I can change the settings for minimal cpu speeds.
I know it automatically sets it's speed down to half when not being used. I want to decrease that even further.
Is that possible?
I tried Nvidia system tools, but it gives a wrong reading regarding the CPU speeds (2.8ghz when its actually 1.05ghz)
Thanks
I've tried:
1. Changing CPU power settings down to 1%, and even then it stayed at half speed
2. Checked Bios, but didn't find settings

Yes it is possible, try steps in amd forum guide, here

Changing / swopping my slot loading CD-RW for a DVD/CD-RW combi drive

I know it's something to do with the IDE cable but if someone could give me a idiot's walkthru guide I would apreciate it.

You're better off posting this in the iMac G3 forum. This is the iMac Core Duo (Intel) forum. You might get lucky and find and answer here, but you'll likely find one much quicker in the proper forum. Best of luck.

Hi. I have a Macbook Pro Model 5,5 with one 800 firewire port. I need to create two firewire 800 ports but only have an SD card slot (this is for video interface with 2 cameras). Is this possible or do I have to have an express card slot in order to do

Hi Jessica,
No, the SD slot will not work, you need an ExpressCard/34 slot.
I do not know if it works with cameras, but with two or more HDs, if the first one has two FW ports, you can "daisy chain" one or more additional HDs from it.

What property/preference sets block property "Update changed columns only"

Hi, we are wondering how Designer (latest version 10.1.2.4) desides when it generates a form with block property "Update changed columns only" set to Yes.
Under some cricumstances this property is No in the generated .fmb
We checked the object library, but the .olb has this property set to No, so Designer overrules it.
Our goal is to generate all blocks with the "Update changed columsn only" set to No, because we ran in a forms bug that it can't handle Insert statements on blocks with this property set to Yes (ORA-01036). This bug only occurs in the latest forms version 10.1.2.3
Hope anyone can help to force this property to be No when we want to achieve 100% generation from Designer.
Kind Regards
Auke Quist
Edited by: aukequist on Oct 13, 2008 8:49 PM

I think that's not possible in designer. You could define a block with this property set in the template form or in the object library. The use this block use the template/library object property in designer.

Update Changed Columns Only

How to generate a form with a data block with the "Update Changed Columns Only" property set to "yes" from Designer 9.0.4.6? Is there an equivalent for this property in Designer? Or do I have to create a library object which I then have to subclass from?
Thanks in advance
Gerald

Hi Gerald
When you look in the help of Designer (Generated data block properties (implicit/explicit)), the Forms property "Update Changed Columns Only" is not mentioned. That implies that there is no property/preference in Desinger that will influence the value of this Forms property.
So yes, you have to create a library object and subclass from it.
Another solution is to work with the Forms built-ins GET_BLOCK_PROPERTY and SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY in a Pre_Form trigger, but I personally would prefer a new library object for this.
Kind regards,
Lennart de Vos

Is it posible to change CPU in Satellite A110-195?

Hello
Is it posible to change cpu in Toshiba Satellite A110-195 or it is soldered to a mother board?
Now it has got T2250 cpu.

Hi
I don't have this old notebook model but I had similar M70 and CPU removal was possible.
Im pretty sure that A110 design is almost the same as on older M70.
What do you want to do exactly? Upgrade or CPU replacement?
