Fix this G4 400 card?
Posted by: nottomhanks on 2021-09-23 09:47:25
Hello!

I once purchased a NewerTech G4 400 card for my original iMac, but it isn’t posting when I boot with it.

I don’t know if it needs new caps, new thermal paste (can you use a pad instead?) or what.

I’ve attached a couple of photos for reference:

Please let me know if any of you can help. I know Dosdude (Mojave patcher guy) can fix it, but he’s hard to get in touch with.

Thanks!

Craig

Usually these failed from bad CPU transplant or cache
