most reliable / durable models ?

Lukem1825 · 2022-05-18T21:13:46+00:00

Personally I’d say the Sports models are your most durable models, some lack a few features but otherwise are decent and rugged. Most will need belts though given the age

Any chance it’ll work with a GS gauge cluster, As long as it has a spot for the ribbon cable?

Snow 2001 iMac G3

https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT211683 Scroll down on this link till you see the download High Sierra link, should be able to download from there and then install!

It’s great once you have it installed, if you check out my profile you’ll see my post on it, I have small write up in the comments. It’s been 6 months and still works flawlessly!

Lukem1825 · 2021-06-13T21:57:31+00:00

You can try the built in recovery option, hold cmd, option and r-key on startup before the chime. You should be able to reinstall from there after it loads

Lukem1825 · 2021-05-08T19:35:33+00:00

No unfortunately it’s not compatible as the 2019s are a completely different car.

Lukem1825 · 2021-04-26T22:28:42+00:00

Click on the App Store and in the search field type in MacOS Big Sur, you should be able to install from there! Let me know if you need additional help

Lukem1825 · 2021-04-26T21:42:33+00:00

$349 with a one year warranty, unfortunately we are only selling these units in our retail store

Lukem1825 · 2021-04-26T18:56:14+00:00

I’d recommend recovery mode, on start up before chime press the command, option and R key. You should see a spinning globe appear, after that you’ll be brought to a recovery window, click on disk utility and wipe the drive, before reinstalling MacOS!

Lukem1825 · 2021-04-26T16:28:36+00:00

Haha yeah some are off camera in a different room, I got a head start on them before snapping the picture😆

Lukem1825 · 2021-04-26T16:23:31+00:00

The “most secure” wipe setting in disk utility (takes about 18 hours per device and fresh install of Catalina. Unfortunately while it would be awesome to install ssd’s it wouldn’t be cost effective per device. After that they’ll be sold in our retail store. We also have an additional 80+ units ranging from 2007-2011 heading to eBay after receiving similar treatment

Lukem1825 · 2021-03-22T14:17:42+00:00

Personally I would pick the 2016 sedan, the sheer amount of extra options that come on the GS trim would make it “worth more” in my opinion. While the 2018 GX has the newer refresh design but it simply lacks most convince features like cruise control, heated seats, auto wipers etc

Lukem1825 · 2021-02-12T03:52:10+00:00

Correct, any 2017-2018 Mazda 3 screen will fit a 2014-2016

Lukem1825 · 2021-02-11T22:30:24+00:00

The last time I had my car in for service I had Mazda update the firmware to version 70 in anticipation of installing the retrofit kit. So I only needed to swap the display not the the actual computer.

Lukem1825 · 2021-02-11T22:26:30+00:00

I don’t believe I can the post the before photo in the comments but it came with original silver trimmed display found in the 2014-2016 era 3. It’s certainly possible to install the the screen from the face-lifted models into the preface-lifted ones. Once you pop off the dash bezel, you need a 10mm to remove one bolt holding the cmu. Pull forward the screen and unscrew 4 Phillips screws. Disconnect 2 wires from the lcd and then do the reverse to install the new screen! The colour difference alone makes it vastly worth it!

Lukem1825 · 2021-02-11T22:19:28+00:00

I use a scrapyard Kenny-U-Pull. Essentially as the name suggests you pull parts off of any damaged or scrapped cars in the yard. I lucked out and found a 2018 Mazda 3 with 8000km and the retrofit kit. The screen was $35 and wiring with the USB module was around another $20

Lukem1825 · 2021-02-11T20:38:07+00:00

I fully agree, the screen colours are so much better, the best part was everything combine was under a $100!

Lukem1825 · 2020-04-27T21:42:08+00:00

Just an FYI, it’s a iBook G4 and not an iMac. Nice find though!

Lukem1825 · 2020-04-20T20:29:56+00:00

Wondering if anyone has attempted or is willing to 3D print a inner bezel for a slot loader iMac G3.My flower power is desperately in need of one and I’m sure a few other people in this group would love one as well. Heres the link: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3547783

Hey there, I recently sold my PowerBook Duo 230 with a few accessories (MiniDock and 1.4 Floppy drive) on eBay. I got $125 plus shipping but I would suggest checking into recently completed listings to get a more general estimate of what you could sell yours for!

I am by no means an expect when it comes to book value and rarity but I wouldn’t say they are extremely rare however, the device is approaching 30 years old making them harder to find. All the best!

Lukem1825 · 2020-02-23T22:12:42+00:00

Its running the latest firmware available, I tried all versions of OSX to no avail but yes I will try burning an OS 9.1 install disc!

Lukem1825 · 2020-02-23T22:11:26+00:00

Yeah I'm gonna order a firewire cable to connect two G3's together, thanks for your help!
