What power supply do I need for a dead AGP G4 with upgraded processor

I recently upgraded my 400Mhz G4 to a dual 500Mhz board and a bigger, faster HD. I also replaced the internal battery but now the Mac... she is dead. No power, no lights, no nothing.
Will I need an upgraded power supply for the new board, or is it just old and time for a replacement power supply.
I found this on Ebay... will it work?
"This 237W Astec power supply (Apple part# 614-0108) is a clean, working pull from a revision 2 Power Mac G4 AGP Graphics/Sawtooth series computer (e.g. 350/400/450/500 MHz single processor) and will also work perfectly in previous models as well. "
Thanks!
AGP G4, Dual 500, 768Mb RAM   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

Hi,
The AGP Sawtooth Mac can be switched to an ATX PSU. Later models (Gigabit G4, Digital Audio, Quicksilver and later) have a different power supply and motherboard that passes 28 Volts DC from the power supply to a connector for the ADC port graphics card. (28 VDC is passed to the Graphics card ADC port to power Apple's ADC monitors, introduced in Summer 2000 MWNY.) A standard PC ATX Power Supply does not have 28V DC and will not be pin compatible with the Gigabit G4 and later G4 systems.
Here are some DIY web pages, if you are interested in doing this:

  • What Power Supply do I need ?

    My friend gave me his old Mac Book Pro 15.4 " without power supply. I can not find Model number on Macbook body to buy Power Supply. On the buttom I see " Model number A1211" but apple store do not have this number on his list.
    Is number A1211 belong to battery, not to computer ? What Model number for power supply I need to buy ? I found on E-Bay power supply A1172 (replacement for $23) Is this good ?
    Please help
    Eugene

    Sounds almost too good to be true, if you ask me. Does the seller have a positive feedback rating? Does the seller provide complete information about the product? (New or used, condition, photos, etc?)
    Just keep in mind that everything on eBay is pretty much at your own risk.

  • What power supply????????---Help!!!!!!

    Building new system,,,,,K8Nneo4 platinum SLi----with two 6800GT's and AMD64 4000+,,,,,WHAT POWER SUPPLY DO I NEED?????

    Actually, you really do need to do your homework first. Go to takaman's Power Supply Calculator and figure out HOW MANY AMPS YOU NEED ON EACH RAIL. Watts mean nothing as many manufacturers make distorted claims anyways. And they also test their PSU's at 25c. At 50c many of those cheap 550w PSU's output will actually drop to something like 250w!! Check THIS out.

    syar2003 gave you the best info you could have regarding a PSU for a SLI system. My personal recommendation? PC Power & Cooling Turbo Cool 510 SLI. The Enermax EG701AX-VE would be a good choice also, but for $25 more the PCP&C TC 510 SLI is definitely the top choice.
    Look at it this way, you're going to have to spend $200 for a good SLI PSU anyways, why not get the best. I mean, it's just the most important component in your computer. If you're gonna spend $2000 - $3000 on your new Rig, do you really want to risk all that valuable hardware on some cheap PSU?
    Anyone could buy that cheap PSU for their sweet new SLI Rig, but, they better have a fire extinguisher and $2000 handy when they've OC'd their new AMD64 4000+ and those two sweet 6800GT's and their cheap PSU bursts into flames. 
    We all like to get the best for as little as possible, but the PSU is NOT the component anyone should want to cut costs on.
    Go over to The [H]ardOCP Power Supplies Forum and read the Stickies there.
    Tons of extremely valuable info the on PSU's. Good Luck & Good Hunting.

  • IBook G3 M6497 - What Power Supply?

    I got a free iBook G3 Dual USB, model M6497. The catch was that it did not come with a power supply, it had been in a closet for a few years and the owner doe snot remember where it was left X years ago.
    Anyway, what model power supply do I need?
    I know a guy with a M7332 yoyo, but I that one has a different tip, am I wrong and it will work?

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    It takes this one:

    Some of the older yo-yo type adapters have the correct size tip, but some do not. I would advise buying the newer style so that you have the colored light ring which tells you when the battery is charging and when it isn't.

    What charging adapters do I need for Finland and England

    Bring the power adapter that you got with your phone - you just need to get an adapter for the plug into the wall. You don't need a converter.
    Airports usually sell the adapters and stores that sell luggage often have them also.

    This isn't the correct forum for this topic, but I may be
    able to get you started...
    The licensing restrictions on gathering form data from PDFs
    is outlined in the EULA for Reader, I believe there is a limit of
    500 copies, but I could be wrong ... you should look at the EULA to
    be sure.
    Beyond that, try posting to the

    advise you further.
