    Powermac G5 Reflow/Heatgun Fix

    I have a dead PowerMac G5 that appears to have a BGA RAM Slot failure, I have heard that some people have had success using a heatgun or an oven to rejoin the solder joint.

But my PowerMac G5 is from about the same time, maybe older. Would it be possible to install OS 9 on the G5 using this method? I'm going to...

    Resolved PowerMac G5 hard drive

    I have a PowerMac G5 dual 1.8GHz model. I picked up a new 500GB SATA WD blue hard drive to replace the original. I popped the drive in and started up off the DVD to install 10.5. The disk utility refuses to see the drive. I tested it in another machine and it shows up just fine, so I don't...
