    iMac G4 doesn't chime once I took the HDD out.

    I have the early 15" model, 800mhz. Went ahead and ordered the same stuff you used. Should get here in the following days. Thanks!

    iMac G4 doesn't chime once I took the HDD out.

    I see, that's what I figured, but wasn't 100% on. Thanks!

    iMac G4 doesn't chime once I took the HDD out.

    I put the original HDD back in and it chimes and the screen comes on, but it doesn't show the happy mac or boot into os9. I kept the CD drive out of it as I don't think it's working. Is the big SIMM in the logic board RAM or ROM? I also notice the smaller SIMM on the outside, which I assume is...

    iMac G4 doesn't chime once I took the HDD out.

    I wanted to replace with an ssd adapter, which is now plugged in. When I turn it on it the fan spins for a moment, and then turns off. I haven't removed the ssd yet, but wanted to know if there was anything else to look out for while I have it open

    iMac G4 HDD replacement

    I tried getting an m.2 adapter, but it appears to be for a laptop and the connector (idk the name of it) is too big. What should I be searching for? Or does anyone have an amazon link to something that would work?

    Restoring a relatively decent iMac G4

    Update: I clean installed os9 and it then saw the airport card.

I think the HD isn't in great condition. Are they sata drives...

    Restoring a relatively decent iMac G4

    I should have another card in another machine, but I'll have to check. Good call on the pins, I'll check those, and I didn't know the base stations had cards in them! I think someone is selling one near me, so I might get it just for the extra cards/stations.

    Restoring a relatively decent iMac G4

    I reseated the card already, and I think 10.4 is installed, but I'll have to double check. I looked in Apple Profiler but under airport it doesn't show the card, so I don't think the computer sees it.

    Restoring a relatively decent iMac G4

    Got an iMac G4 finally recently after always wanting one as a kid. It works well, but it doesn't see the Airport card at all. I'm not sure if I need drivers as it's been so long since I worked on one of these machines. I'd also like to install os9 if I can, but idk if I need CDs or if I can do...
