PowerMac G4 Power Supplies

Before you do anything first make sure your power supply is actually bad.

ANYTIME YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE BOOTING UNPLUG EVERYTHING FROM THE BACK OF YOUR COMPUTER except the keyboard and monitor and of course the power cord. Fix one thing at a time.

PUSHING THE CUDA (PMU) SWITCH:

The CUDA or motherboard reset switch is a last resort. If your computer doesn't come up at all before replacing the power supply usually pressing the switch will restore life to your dead computer. If you don't hear a chime after that then it may be Power Supply time. If your computer fails to come up after a processor swap, overclock, or ram install then it may be time to try the CUDA switch. The CUDA switch looks like a little gray (sometimes red) doorbell button. It is indeed a momentary switch like a doorbell button. This is always done with the POWER OFF!

Where is the CUDA (PMU) Switch?

  • ON G4 Sawtooth systems it in in the right rear of the motherboard near the battery.
  • On Digital Audio and Quicksilver systems it is right behind the battery.
  • Hold it down and count to 5, button up things and push the restart while crossing your fingers.

Help! I pushed the CUDA (PMU) Switch on my G4 and it still is not working

Sometimes computers lose their mind. Don't ask me why or how it happens but it does. Sometimes you simply have to totally discharge the computer. One thing I have learned about the Blue and White G3 and The Gray G4 computers is that sometimes pushing the CUDA is not enough. If your machine still is dead, then try the following.

  • Unplug the Unit
  • Remove the Battery
  • Push the CUDA Switch (count to 5 slow)
  • Push the Start button on the front of the computer (count to 5 slow)
  • Let the unit sit for 15-30 minutes
  • Replace the Battery
  • Plug it back in, and push the start button

Amazing! It works again!! If it doesn't I usually repeat the steps above, pull the ram, and let it sit longer. If it doesn't work after this it is take it to the shop time (or ship it to us).

DEEP RESET TIP: On G3 and G4 Machines especially when aborting an OSX install really scrambles the computer. You can super reset the computer by Zapping the PRAM 3 times in a row. Then move your fingers from the P R keys to the O F keys (in other words Command - Option - O - F). COOF will bring up a machine language screen. <return> means press the return key you don't type the characters out. At the prompt type the following:

reset-nvram <return>
set-defaults <return>
reset-all <return>

Replacement Mac Power Supply Fan

80MM High Speed Lighted Power Supply Fan

Just have a noisy or nonworking fan in a good power supply? Both PowerMac G4 Systems and Blue & White G3's use an 80MM power supply fan to keep the innards cool. Replace your old stock noisy fan or dying fan with the high speed 4 LED Blue lit 80MM fan. This fan moves more air due to its efficient fan blade design. The smooth hard plastic blades stay cleaner longer. Why install a more expensive, slower factory replacement, when you can actually improve your air flow. Ball bearing design means quiet and long lasting. Fits perfectly in the stock location. You will have to modify the wiring (I just invert the plug). Item may vary from picture. I use these as replacements on our G4's. Our low $12.77 price includes domestic shipping.

Both PowerMac G4 Systems and Blue & White G3's use a large case fan to keep the innards cool. Replace your old stock noisy fan or dying fan with the high speed 4 LED colored lit 120MM fan. This fan flows a whopping 96 CFM due to its efficient fan blade design. The smooth hard plastic blades stay cleaner longer. Why install a more expensive, slower factory replacement, when you can actually improve your air flow. Ball bearing design at 2400 rpm means quiet and long lasting. Fits perfectly in the stock location using the stock screws. Item will vary from picture. Simply plug into any available hard drive cable. I use these on my G4 Servers to keep them running cooler.

Solid State Drives for Your G4!

Cheryn tells me we are having trouble finding 80 or 120GB refurbished hard drives for our older Mac customers. There haven't been new ones available for years. We know you depend on us to help keep your old gear running efficiently. These brand new digital solid state drives have no moving parts making them not only faster but more reliable. We still think you should keep your system backed up but running from these super fast brand new drives only make sense. We haven't carried SSD drives much before but we think now that the prices are more affordable now is the time. We found the right kind of adapter that allows you to configure it for Master, Slave or Cable Select depending on your needs. That makes these more compatible and easily configurable with an included jumper. We can set these up for your system or you can use copy software to move your old data. Let us know how we can help speed up your G4 system. I tested these on our servers so you know they are fast and dependable.
