Inverter Card question

I have an iBook G4 with a bad inverter card. The machine works fine but the monitor
is black. I have no trouble connecting to an external monitor.
I also have an iBook G3 700Mhz with a bad cd drive and a fried hard drive, but
the monitor works great.
Can I swap the inverter card from the G3 to the G4?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
According to ifixit, the G3 and the G4 use the same inverter card.
Good luck!

  • Power Supply, or Power Inverter Card

    i believe I'm suffering from a common problem with my 20" ambient-light imac. It shuts down intermittently, without warning, as though the plug were being pulled.
    I've tried the SMU reset, sometimes it helps for a day or two, sometimes it doesn't. I'm ready to try replacing parts. The only question is whether there is a consensus that this is a problem with the power supply, or the power inverter card? I'd rather not replace both if I don't have to.
    Thanks!

    Hi there Eric,
    you forgot to remind Lukaziod to backup/clone his computer (using SuperDuper!)before having it repaired!
    As an aside, the ambient light computer is user serviceable, Apple can send a PSU and dyi instructions,

  • Can I replace my original LED control card to inverter card in T500

    I bought my T500 half years ago.  It is WXGA 1280*800 with LED backlight.  However, I want to upgrade the screen to WSXGA+, which is 1680*1080, unfortunately, the WSXGA+ works with inverter card.  My question is , can I replace my original LED control card by inverter card?
    part number of those 2 are
    LED control:  42W8080/ 42W8081 /42W802 ( I do not remember the exact same )
    Inverter card: 41W1338

  • Video card question.

    Hi, I just bought a new macbook pro. I got the cheapest one; http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shopmac/family/macbookpro?mco=MTM3NjU5MzU
    Now that I have a computer that isn't from the start of this decade I'm looking for one of those new games to play and I think I've chosen one; Dragon Age. It looks like the graphics are pretty demanding and I'm wondering if my macbook will run it.
    In case you didn't feel like using the link, here are the specifications:
    Intel Core Duo
    4gb memory
    250gb hard drive
    sd card slot
    NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics
    So what do you think, will this thing run Dragon Age?
    Thanks for any replies.

    Down at the bottom of the web site the developer lists all the platforms that you can play this game on.
    Platforms
    Wii
    PC
    Online
    Xbox 360
    PS3
    PlayStation 2
    Nintendo DS
    Mobile
    Any further questions about the game should be directed to their support:

  • Speaker problem with t420i and adding a new graphics card question

    I bought a t420i about a month ago and noticed that the speakers could not properly handle muliple sounds at once.  What happens is that, say in a music video, the music plays loud and clear, but once the lyrics start the background music fades a bit to about 85% of it's original volume.  I had returned the laptop because of this problem but the replacement I got has the SAME exact problem.
    In case im not clear, try this example.  You know the beeping noise you get when you press an incompatible set of keys?  ( like g, h, and b).  When I have this noise going simultaneously with a song, the song's sound fades a bit.
    This does not happen with headphones, therefore i believe the problem is with the way the speakers are programmed.
    Also, if I bought a t420 with just integrated graphics, could I still add a new graphics card?  Or can you only add a new graphics card to a thinkpad that initially comes with discrete graphics?

    I think the main purpose of the nvs4200m is the ability to use three displays (internal + 2 external). Additionally, nVidia has better driver support for games so even though it is around the same speed, the drivers are better. 
    The shared ram is still used, unless you disable the HD3000 in the BIOS and run with only the nvs4200m at all times.

  • Importing With AJA Kona 3 Card Question?

    For over a year now I have been working with FCP 6 to digitize hours of footage in varied formats. We use everything from Sony XDCAMs, EX1s, HDVs and mini DVs all usually going into the same project.
    Ever since FCP went to 6 we have had the luxury of working in all of these formats without constant rendering which has actually brought up a question I hoped you guys can answer. In a pinch we can log and capture an HDV tape directly from a camera and the clip would work just fine, however, normally when we bring in the HDV and mini DV tapes we run the deck through our AJA Kona 3 card. I am wondering what exactly that does for us? Can I just import all the tapes in their native formats and just drag them into an HD sequence and get the same results?
    The point is, if we can eliminate the need for one of the decks we rent twice a month we would be saving a nice chunk of change, but The quality of the show cannot suffer. So does bringing in the mini DVs through the Kona really add any value that FCP 6 can't already do on its own?

    normally when we bring in the HDV and mini DV tapes we run the deck through our AJA Kona 3 card. I am wondering what exactly that does for us?
    Allows you to capture all your various formats into one single unified format...like ProRes or whatever suits your fancy. Allows you to upconvert your DV to HD to mix well with your HD footage.
    Can I just import all the tapes in their native formats and just drag them into an HD sequence and get the same results?
    No. Working with native formats means that you are mixing formats, meaning that you will have to render one of them to match the other. And you ned to ensure that all of your frame rates match. PLUS, if you use COLOR to color correct, you MUST have a single format sequence.
    So does bringing in the mini DVs through the Kona really add any value that FCP 6 can't already do on its own?
    If this is an HD show...yes, being able to upconvert the DV to HD via hardware is a huge advantage over just rendering it on the timeline.

  • Considering a refurbished 24" Imac ... video card question?

    I've been a lifelong Microhell Winblows user and am finally ready to move over to an Apple. I don't have a lot of money to drop on a Mac Pro with a separate screen so I've been thinking either a 20" or 24" iMac. Then, of course, bumping it to 4 gigs of RAM. My question is the video card. I occassionally play with Photoshop and Illustrator (for web site design). I watch DVDs and play some games.
    My question is whether it is possible (or even necessary) to upgrade the 256 MB video card to a 512 in the iMac 24" (or 20") model? This is the one I am looking at now: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?nplm=FA 878LL/A
    Any idea's? Issues? Things I should be concerned with? I will be adding on the 3 year AppleCare plan.
    Thanks in advance for any all help you can give.

    OK. One more question (if you don't mind). They are not made to be user upgradeable. I'm ok with that. Do you know if the motherboard and/or system will accept a larger video card if I have it done by an Apple technician?
    Thanks again.

  • Receiving New iMac Free - Video Card Question

    Much to my relief, Apple is replacing my 2008 24" iMac after I have brought it in to them 3 times for the same issue in a month (failure to startup, they have replaced two video cards, one MLB, and the display but the problem repeats itself within 1-2 weeks). They are replacing it with a newer model that has a 27" display, twice the ram (4 GB) and twice the HD space (1 TB). My question is about the video card in the new iMac, it is a ATI Radeon HD 4670 with 256 MB, and the card in my old iMac was a NVIDIA 8800 GS with 512 MB. My primary application for my iMac is gaming, which I believe makes the video card the most important component. Does anyone know the difference between 256 and 512 or anything about this new card? Should I ask them if I can pay to upgrade to the Radeon HD 4850 512 MB before I go in to pick up my new iMac?

    Hi Crazy,
    I had the exact same problem... my 18month old 24" iMac (with 512MB Video card) went belly up.
    I pointed out that what they wanted to offer me had only the 256Mb Card ? ....and he said; "oops I didn't notice that"... so we will send your new 27" iMac - with a 512MB (ATI 4850) at no charge,
    So... buddy you just need to tell them - and they will configure your replacement 27" to equal or better the minimum specification of your faulty unit.

  • K430 Graphic Card question -

    Hello Community,
    I purchased the new Ideacentre K430 i7 3770. My unit has a HD Radeon 7750 Graphic card. My probloem and question is:
    the graphic card has only a HDMI and a VGA ports. I desperately need Dual Link DVI. Of couse I thought that it would have DVI because I believed that all new Graphic cards had DVI or Displayport. I was shocked when I got it home and ther was only HDMI and an old VGA port. 
    I have the RZ30W high end "30 monitor  from HP and it only has Dual link DVI and Displayport. Any tips, I can't seem to find an adaptor from HDMI to Dual Link DVI? I have tried 2 and both were single link and did not work. 
    Can I have Lenovo trade out the Graphic card for the same one but with the ports I need???
    Oddly, I am unable to find the HD Radeon 7750 with my port configuration--- they always seem top come with the ports I need. That is why I bought it !!!!!
    Help !!!
    Thanks for any response in advance.
    Chris

    Hey There, what it seems like to me, is you need to download your video drivers from the website. Just go to the Support & Drivers page, put in your product, and download/install the video driver. And That should take care of your issue.

  • CS5 MPE nVIDIA Card Question

    I've seen the graphic card list recommended for the Mercury Playback Engine.  Everyone wants to know if their card will work.  The GTX285 made the list. I have a GTX280.  Do I get CS5 and cross my fingers?  Some tech evauluation would be great.. for instance.. "don't even try it cause it will it crash and burn" or  "it will work OK but you'll have a 15% reduction in performance."

    Grin... I am sort of in the same "wait and see" group... except mine question is "will MPE offer any benefit to non-HD work"?
    If an nVidia 285 at $400 does nothing more for SD-to-DVD over a $100 ATI... I will just buy an ATI and save $300
    If the 285 does offer rendering benefits for SD only editing... I have to weigh the cost-benefit for me
    So... wait and see (read) when CS5 is released

  • Ovi Maps, Internal Memory / Memeory cards question

    My new memory card arrives in a day or two and until it does I have not been downloading much on my phone but I have been using Ovi Maps. 
    When maps starts I get the little popup about not finding external memory so it uses the internal memory and I was wondering is there stuff left on the internal memory that can be deleted or copied to the external memory when I get it?

    As it was expected I did my job with nokia map loader...http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/nokia-map-loader/download
    And after that ovi suite opened without questions the maps.
    If it is integrated in ovi suite as I read here: /t5/Maps-Navigation-and-GPS/Nokia-Map-Loader-support-dropped/td-p/700212
    it doesn't work right. If it is a new map loader in ovi then nokia you have to go BACK.

  • Graphic Card Question - Do I Have the Wrong One?

    I just got my new Pavilion dv7 less then 2 weeks ago. It was just today though that as I was checking around to see how well my laptop could play some games, I find that what I think is the wrong graphic card in my laptop. On the box it says I should have an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470, but when I type dxdiag into Run, it says I have an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator. I'm new to all this, so does my laptop have the wrong graphic card?
    Because according to all this and the System Requirements Lab website, my new laptop is unable to play some games my old laptop could, which had an ATI HD 3200. I'm assuming the HD 5470 should run better, yet it's the one thing keeping me from running many games. Any help at all would be appreciated.
    This question was solved.

  • Blackmagic Intensity card questions

    Two big questions involving the Blackmagic Intensity card and using it with FCP and an HDV camera:
    If you are not shooting tethered to the computer to completely bypass HDV's compression, are there any advantages to capturing using this card? $250 seems like a small price to pay to be able to digitize pre-recorded HDV footage directly to DVCPRO HD, though this leads me to my second question ..
    Is it at all possible to log footage and batch capture with this card, or would you need to do the equivilant of a 'capture now' when importing through HDMI? This would obviously be a huge hassle.
    For anyone interested, I'm strongly considering the combination of a Brevis35 adapter and a Canon HV20 camera which appears to me to be the cheapest possible interchangeable 35mm lense HDV solution out there.
    Love some thoughts and/or advice!
    cheers,
    Adam

    For this thread to be of any value to future Black Magic searches, would someone please take a moment to synopsize the discussion? I'd do it but I don't know nuthin' 'bout no black magic stuff.
    You guys have all kinds of knowledge and are appreciated...but it was nice to do a search and find the answers here instead of having to call Blackmagic. Some of us Producer/Editor types work crazy late hours and Blackmagic isn't always available on the phone. Just my two cents...not trying to stir up any new conflicts. Just valuing both sides of this discussion. < </div>

  • Mac pro graphics card question

    Hello, I am ordering an apple Mac Pro tomorrow and I need a question cleared up.
    If I get the 4x ATI radion 2600 HD (4 graphics cards) If I hook up one monitor will 1 graphics card take up 1 forth of the screen or is this meant for people with like 4 screens?
    Thank you

    One graphics card can run two monitors. Four graphics cards could run 8 monitors. Four graphics cards will not run one monitor any faster than one graphics cards. Unless you plan on running three or more monitors, even a second graphics card will be money wasted.

  • T420s Nvidia Graphics Card & Express Card Questions

    Hello, and thank you for checking out my post.  My apologies for writing a book, but I'm hoping to give as much detail as needed the first go round.
    I just received my custom-built T420s (4170-CTO) and have a couple technical questions/concerns about it.  The details of my configuration are located at the bottom of this post.
    First off, one of the deciding factors of my purchase was the discrete graphics card.  On the T420s I chose NVIDIA NVS 4200M Optimus Graphics 1GB, Intel Core i7-2620M Processor.  I was thrilled to have more than 256 MB of dedicated graphics memory for my games.  Upon receiving my laptop, though, I ran the Windows Experience Index and saw that the lowest score was the graphics card, which is identified as Intel HD Graphics Family and has 64 MB of dedicated graphics memory.  After my heart started beating again I checked Device Manager and found under Display both Intel HD Graphics Family and NVIDIA NVS 4200M listed as working with up-to-date drivers.  When I configured the laptop online there was no mention of hybrid graphics, so I'm not sure why I have an Intel Graphics card on the machine.  My current laptop that I was looking to replace is a T61p with a NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M graphics card, and only that NVIDIA card is shown under Device Manager and in the Windows Experience / Performance Information.  Thinking that perhaps disabling the Intel card would cause the NVIDIA card to take over, I disabled that through Device Manager.  My screen went black and after feeling quite stupid I rebooted my computer.  The default Windows Display driver kicked in, allowing me to see well enough to get back to Device Manager and enable the Intel Graphics.  I counted myself lucky that I wasn't stuck with a working computer with a blank screen, but I'm still confused about why the NVIDIA card isn't the only display adapter on the machine, and why it isn't the default/main adapter.  Most importantly, will it be usable to run my games?
    My second question is regarding the PCI ExpressCard slot.  My aim for this machine was to have a HDD to store my data (I selected the 320GB 7200 RPM HDD) and a SSD to boot and run my programs from.  Another reason for choosing this machine was the comment on Lenovo's site stating that a user booted his T420s from a solid state drive in the PCI ExpressCard slot, which was exactly was I was looking for.  I need the CD/DVD drive, so I can't put the second hard drive in a caddy.  During configuration I chose the option for an Express Card Slot & 4 in 1 Card Reader & Smart Card Reader.  From what I can tell, the Express Card slot is not connected to the Card Readers and I will not lose use of those ports.  When I opened the computer up to install more RAM, I saw what is labeled in Lenovo's hardware manual as the Express Card slot, apparently empty - which is great!  Now I need to figure out what kind of SSD to look for, and on that I'm kinda lost.
    I'm guessing that my ExpressCard slot is 34mm and PCI form factor rather than USB... but I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a not-incredibly-educated guess.  I'm also not sure where mSATA comes into play for me, if at all.  Looking at SSDs on sites such as newegg.com, I'm unsure of what form factor to choose - ExpressCard, PCI-E, mSATA, and/or 1.8"?
    The tech specs of my configured T420s (copy/pasted from the order status) are as follows.  I hope this means more to you than it does to me.

    The T420s with Nvidia GPU has two graphics card that can switch on the fly, if you only want the discrete gpu, just go into your bios menu under graphics there is an option to select discrete.
    With the Nvidia Optimus (which is what you have), it can switch between Nvidia and Intel GPU depending on your application needs. This will allow you to conserve battery or power.
    Expresscard slot 34 mm slot is occupied by the card reader that you ordered.
    What you are talking about within the ram slot cover, is the mPCIe slot, which can be occupied by a mSATA drive.
