    Logitech Control Center v3.5.1?

    Was looking for a copy of Logitech Control Center v3.5.1 - tried the Garden and Repository sites & lucked out elsewhere too. At least in terms of a site that wasn't a bit suspect ie I do have a zip file that i'm reluctant to use unless I have no other option! I searched in the files listed in...

    iMac G5 ALS 20" Thermal Repair

    I've now installed the 12v to 24v voltage booster for the screen inverter on mine. It's been stable for a few days with no issues (so far) - good to have the screen back to full brightness and no flickering. If like me you've been on the fence about adding one - I'd recommend it.

Got the usual 14 day warning on iStat, so messaged Bjango support and asked how to get a licence and how much they'd charge me. I...

    iMac G5 ALS 20" Thermal Repair

    I've only repasted one CPU - iirc it was a macbook from 2007 and I did it long enough ago that i've forgotten when! Bearing that in mind and Gerrys challenges above, i'm now thinking of leaving my still operational iMac G5 ALS well alone. What would be a sign of a repaste being absoluely needed...

    Last thing you did with your G5?

    Used my freshly removed from storage iMac G5 to remote into my newly acquired headless mini - plan on using that as a music server for Roon. Also using the mini to internet share to the iMac over ethernet - for 2 reasons. 1. the bluetooth / wifi card is removed as it's on its last legs. 2...
