    Yet Another NUC iMac G4

    I also noticed a bit of darkness on the left side of the screen with the original ~15cm wire for the inverter. :-? It's easier to notice in dark room... not a big thing but... So it's either an issue with the inverter or the CCFL backlight :-(

    Yet Another NUC iMac G4

    Neck re-wiring Finally all the connectors and cables arrived for my iMac :D or so I tought :lol: (made only a few pics in the process and sorry about the quality - as usual) As I already mentioned I decided to replace the dead screen with a different one: an LP171WU1, same size but different...

    Yet Another NUC iMac G4

    The project slowed down a little bit as i'm still waiting for some parts to arrive :cry: As I already mentioned the original LCD panel is dead, and instead of ordering a replacement (which is rather expensive I think) I decided to get an LM171WU1 panel which has higher resolution: 1920x1200. I...

    Yet Another NUC iMac G4

    Yes, 3.3V on both. At first I connected grey, purple, green to ground and blue, orange, yellow, pink (VEDID) to 3.3V. But the PSU did not start. Then I measured the resistance between the wires, and it turned out purple is connected to yellow/orange and blue is connected to ground - so I made a...

    Yet Another NUC iMac G4

    Okay, looks alike I have a dead LCD. If it wasn't initially dead, I killed it in the process... :roll: And that's because the neck cable pinout is different from the guides I found via google :oops: or both of us - me and my girlfriend - are colorblind... :lol: Here's my neck cable pinout...

    Yet Another NUC iMac G4

    Kiwi, you are right. Thanks for pointing that out. I also realized some mistakes. I connected the picaxe and the WTV020-SD module to 3.3V, but that source is not always on. Goes down whenever the pico is off (e.g. sleep). So must change to 5Vsb.

    Yet Another NUC iMac G4

    And to have some additional progress, today two things arrived to my mailbox: - The smaller power supply. While a Delta ADP-65J is small (108x45x30mm), this one is even smaller (88x40x28mm) and fits nicely above the DVD door shield. Rated for 60W, made by Panasonic (I remembered Toshiba...

    Yet Another NUC iMac G4

    I spent the last few days to make the circuit for the picaxe 14m2. I hope I made no major mistakes, but I can only make the trial run on the next weekend. By that time I'll get the PCB and will solder the parts. The PCB will be one sided and rather small: 2"x1.5" (5cm x 3.8cm) There are SMD...

    Yet Another NUC iMac G4

    Well... by now I know how far a picaxe can get... 8-) I love it coz it's small and simple to use. My first thought was to do everything in parallel but that did not work at all. The temp reading takes extremely long and hangs every other stuff for that time. Then I started to think about what...

    Yet Another NUC iMac G4

    Hello Everyone, After a long long time following the mods here at tonymacx86, in december I had the chance to get an iMac G4 17” for a bargain price – about 30 USD. The seller said, that not so long ago it worked fine but they moved and it no longer boots. So bought as a “not working” machine...

    iMac SMC Controller for G5 G4

    Hello kiwi, Recently I started to mod an iMac G4 17" (yet another NUC mod) and had similar idea as you. Basically instead of using several picaxes for every function I would put everything into a 14M2. I hope it will be capable of running the fan pwm (based on DS18B20 temperature readings)...
