G4 does not support VGA, will have to 'Jury Rig' DVI as per "easiest mod ever"Ģ. Wireless VGA to DVI thought something like this:ġ.

Mac mini to TV through DVI (as HTCP / Server)Ģ. Anywho after scheming and weighing the pros and cons this is what i will be attempting to do.ġ. Im thinking this might actually not matter to much in my situation. The 'only' problem it has is that the screen is blacked out (due to a dead inverter I assume). I managed to pick up a 17'' imac g4 off the CL today for $50 (Delivered!) as pictured in my avatar. I love the flower pot design, it is truely a fun and functionaly masterpiece, and am glad we now have the oppurtunity to take advantage of current technologies to bring it back to life.Īnyway this is going to be rather long so I appologize in advance. I've been scowering your blog for the last week or so and have decided to take the plunge! I love that it lists the display as "iMac"Įnjoy and I look forward to hearing stories of rejuvinated iMac G4's! Thanks for reading.įirst of all, I would like to thank you for taking the time to document your projects. This change may be specific to this build. Of note, I have tweaked the inverter pinout somewhat in the tutorial as well. Hook up 6 aligator wires to voltages (2 Ground, 3 5V, 1 12V) and turn it on. Then add an extra ground and make 1 split cable with a resistor (5V/hot plug). Easily push the iMacs wires onto the correct pins (12 TMDS pins, 2 control pins). All you have to do is take the iMacs video connector and break apart its housing, freeing the individual pins/wires. Not only are the male pins on this connector identical to the ones on the iMac G4 motherboard shape, width, and length, but they are spaced well enough apart to prevent and disturbance between pins. The remarkable thing about this connector is that it could not be designed better for the iMac G4s female pins. I would recommend a right angle connector (you can work outside the dome then fit a right angle connector through the hole on top without having to remove all the pins).Īlso, female is easier and I believe gives more connection options, but male can be used if you remember to alter the pinout and can find a connector with these small pins. The important this is that you need a DVI-D or DVI-I with these small pins as opposed to the usual connectors that use large pins: Specifically I used a MOLEX PN 74320-4004 To be honest the only difference is in one <$5 part and that is the DVI-I connector header I will likely demonstrate use of the ECX board later on.

If that is an internal mini itx, ecx, or external mac mini, or windows atx tower - that is your choice. The only thing you need to do is plug something into the DVI receptacle. If you are interested in doing the 17" version of this iMac mod then take it from someone who has already made every mistake you could possibly make - USE THIS METHOD!įor Now I am only taking this to the level of getting a DVI compatible connection in the base with power. Not only is it easier, it is cheaper, ore stable, and overall just better.

When I look back at my older mods which involved total neck disassembly, 50+ solder points, and hours upon hours of time, I can not believe how much easier this is. The reason I call this the easiest so far is that it involves No Soldering, Minimal Technical Skill, and Can Reasonably be done in 1 Hour. Which I will be updating to completion over the next several days. GUIDE: Step by Step 17" iMac G4 TMDS TO DVI Conversion
