Further to my original post, I have replaced the screen but it does not seem to have done the trick.
The computer still works perfectly well on an external monitor but there is nothing on the lcd screen. I replaced it with a brand new lcd of exactly the same make so I am left wondering what my options are.
Any ideas?

Thanks very much for the guidance. I am trying to spend as little as possible to get the PB running so it's just as well.

You can either replace the internal hard drive, but that's quite difficult. Or you could simply buy an external hard drive. You can get 2tb for under �100 now.

Seems like they just did a refresh on the mini not that long ago. Didn't they change the case and add HDMI?

Intel SSDs seem to get much better reliability scores/feedback than the OWC, I wasn't sure which to go for in my Mini, but in the end I went Intel for this reason.
I'm sure either are fine, but the experts reckon on Intel.

Yesterday was my official 2-year anniversary for folding.
314,000 points isn't too bad considering the limited number and limited power of my machines...at least by modern standards. My current production is low, and my rank has been dropping, but I am still pretty happy with the sheer amount of work I've contributed.
Not tooting my own horn, just wanted to mark the occasion. Congrats to all of you who are passing me...keep it up!

Just got told kanex xd won't work on the new imacs ... so i can't connect xbox 360 to imac like before ... pfft i ain't buying this now .. just going to wait for mac mini unless they remove the hdmi out on that and completely fu## meh!
:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
Yes I know how that feel man, suck big time .. 2 Thunderbolt port which has identical form with MDP, you can plug it on Kanex, and pooof nothing happens. No Xbox screens or whatsoever on target display mode
Since the new TB port only support device with Thunderbolt capabilities, a.k.a no HDMI input unless your PS3/Xbox suddenly support Thunderbolt
Yeah that's why don't ever buy 3rd party accesories for your :apple: . They can lock it whenever they want. Suddenly the "Compatible with Mac" on your acc packaging doesn't mean a thing anymore
So what you're gonna do? You want to game a lot on iMac? I think 6970M is awesome GPU, just no Uncharted, Halo or bluray player gonna displayed on imac screen .. such a waste

Next problem.... :(
i have formatted both partitions to fat 32, but my ps3 can only detect one of them at a time.... is there any way to get it to see both partitions? i read somewhere on the web somebody said swissknife might be the tool for the job?
any advice would be much appreciated (as im not that good at stuff) :confused:
thanks! :)

My goal is to find a USB dongle kit that I can use to make the xbox 360 Guitar Hero 2 guitar wireless. What I'm looking for is 2 USB dongles, similar to what come with many wireless mice. One would plug into the 360 console, the other would accept a mail USB cable from the guitar. I will then cut and shorten the USB cable on the guitar, add a battery pack for power, and an on/off switch.
I've been looking around but can't find a USB wireless kit like I am trying to find. Anyone have an idea of where I can look? Or am I just crazy in trying to do this?

How much is the drive your looking at and do you have software like Toast for the burner? Also do you have a FW cable?
The drive is cheap, $60 CAD for the Pioneer 110D 16x DVD-R drive, and enclosures are around $40-50. The Lacie drive on the other hand is $140 CAD and only 8x.
Thinking about getting a simple firewire case with an oxford 911 chipset and putting the Pioneer 110D in there... any thoughts or people with a similar setup?

I have a wireless router supplied by Verizon for our FiOS TV/Internet package. I also have an old 802.11g Airport Extreme Base Station (the "flying saucer" model from 2005) connected to it via an Ethernet cable and configured as a bridge so I can run an Apple network. I also have an 802.11g Airport Express from 2005 in another area of the house to extend wireless coverage, and to stream Airtunes to our home theater system. There are two Macs on the network, both running OS 10.6.7.
Every so often over the past year, I'd notice that the light on the AE would be orange. I'd unplug and replug the AE, and the light would go back to green. I don't know what if any effect this had on our wireless network. Our Macs, iPhones, and iPads worked fine. Airtunes was spotty, sometimes working well, and sometimes dropping out. We also have a Sony wireless Blu-Ray player that streams Pandora, and it's been more reliable than Airplay, but it occasionally drops out, requiring reconnecting to the network.
Last week, the Apple network starting dropping out on a daily basis. Our Macs automatically default to the Verizon wireless router, but our iPhones and iPads don't. Sometimes I can reconnect to the Apple network, but sometimes the devices won't recognize the network password. When the latter happens, unplugging and re-plugging the AEBS restores the network.
Today, while troubleshooting, I noticed that the AE didn't appear in Airport Utility, even though the light was solid green. I connected it to my Mac via an Ethernet cable, and it appeared in Airport Utility. When I tried to check the settings, it asked for the password, but the password I remembered didn't work. So I did a hard reset on the AE to reconfigure it. I configured it to join my existing network, and to extend network coverage. I got a message saying that it was updated successfully, and to wait for it to restart. It never restarted; the orange light remained flashing, and Airport Utility gave an error message saying the AE didn't restart. I've tried the hard reset several times. When the AE first appears in Airport Utility, it says it's configured as a base station on its own network. When I go through the reconfiguration routine, it says that the update was successful, but the AE never restarts, and the light stays in flashing orange mode.
I don't know if I have multiple problems. Could I have a defective AE? If so, could it have been causing the Apple network to drop out? Now that I've unplugged it, signal strength is lower in the rest of the house, just as it was before I bought the AE in 2005. The network hasn't dropped out, but it's only been a few hours.
Could I have a defective AEBS? My MacBook Pro is right next to my AEBS, and it has full bars. However, I'm holding my iPhone 4 right next to my AEBS, and wireless strength is only 2 bars. If I move 5 feet away, bars go to full. Once I get to the other side of the house, it drops back to 2 bars. Airport Utility says that the AEBS is fine, though.
To my knowledge, I don't have any other devices that could be interfering with airport, but my next-door neighbor might. I'm going to try switching to a different wireless channel, but interference wouldn't explain why my AE won't restart.
Finally, if I do determine that my AE is bad, is it worth upgrading my AEBS to the current version? In other words, is 80211n (which our newer Macs support) less subject to dropouts than 802.11g, or does it just offer faster throughput?

Well the 30 minute battery life wouldn't do for me, especially without the option to have extra battery packs. I'm considering buying a spare Flip while I still can.

So, the iMac is the best computer (other than the powermac of course) for final cut pro?
of course it is because it has the G5 and the 2GB of RAM you can have in it. Plus the huge HD and the DVD burner

If you don't need the best graphics, then buying a new GPU should be enough. ATI 5770 is only 250$ so if it can make your system last a year or two longer, it should be worth it.
Yeah, I was starting to consider this more. I'm so amazed at how well the Mac Pro 1.1 holds up over time. I only use OS X for my professional side (audio production), and it tears it up just fine with 9GB ram.
Is it really that big of a performance boost between the x1900xt and the 5770?

A quick Google search revealed this product (http://www.budgetgadgets.com/mini-stereo-speaker-ipodiphone-p-5973.html)and other similar products at BudgetGadgets.com for less than $10. My guess is that other online electronics retailers may have these products; I've never done business with BudgetGadgets, so proceed carefully.
The speaker assembly for the linked product is about the width of an iPod touch, so it's a little wider than your 6th gen nano. It plugs into the 30-pin Dock connector and draws power from the nano's internal battery to amplify the speakers, so it doesn't need any additional batteries and can probably get a little louder than non-powered speakers plugged directly into the headphone jack (which just doesn't have the power to drive more than earbuds without additional amplification).
However, since it draws power from the iPod's battery, your iPod's battery life will be significantly reduced, possibly by half. There is a mini-USB jack on the speaker unit which, when connected to a USB port on a computer or USB wall charger unit, will power the speakers and recharge the nano via a pass-through circuit. (My Griffin iTrip FM transmitter has a similar function.)
If I were reading, I'd just put on headphones or earbuds myself. Nevertheless, products like this are OK for occasional use, especially for letting a friend or two hear a song.
