Apple Hardware Test 2.0.2 for PowerMac MDD 1.25 Single.

Thank you bdaqua. You and japamac are the bomb. I will let you know what happens this Saturday when I. Can get the ram.

Thank You Lee

One last question for you guys. Do you think inadequate ram could keep the PowerBook g4 from booting off of the battery? The computer sees the battery and has fully charged it.

Thank You Lee

Hi everybody.

I've ask few dauys ago, if somebody had the AHT 2.0.2, and i had a lot of friendly answers. Thank you very much.

But it was the good one. Obviously, i need the 2.5 or the 2.5.2

Is somebody get it on stock??

Best regrads

I'm not positive, but I don't think inadequate RAM would just prevent booting off the battery, but prevent booting with any OS that requires more RAM.

Thank You for the reply. I hope I can find a copy of AHT 2.0.2 for 12" PowerBook g4 incase the ram doesn't fix the issues.

Thank You Lee

Hello there I was able to pick up a 128 mb ram chip and a 512 mb ram chip. My PowerBook g4 12" 867 MHz aluminum does not see either chip. It shows bus speed 133 MHz ram 128 mb on board ram slot dimm1/j31 it shows it's empty all the way across for size, type, speed, and status shows nothing. Computer makes no sound at startup indicating bad ram. Normal start up tones. When fully booted it sounds like somebody is pressing and holding a key keys making it beep. And the trackpad does not scroll right. I've matched the ram to my PowerBook and I am

Now lost.

Thank You Lee

Hi all,

I have a PowerBook G4 1.25 GHz (fw800) and am experiencing what appear to be kernel panic symptoms when I try to upgrade to 10.5. I think I may have bad RAM or too little (256 MB). Can someone send me AHT 2.0.2 or 2.0.6 so I can make sure the hardware is sound before upgrading RAM?

Thanks,

Cedric

You can't even think about Leopard until you have at lerast 512 MB of RAM.

Actually, 1 GB should be considered bare minimum.

Don't know how I missed the PowerBook & saw MDD! Or missed the RAM you have! 😟

I am looking for the Hardware Test disk or Apple Service Diagnostic disk for an MDD Dual 1Ghz tower. Model M8570 - if anyone can message me or drop me an email I would appreciate it. Me email should be in my profile but if its not showing up for some reason let me know here.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the links, BDAqua, but I couldn't make a startup disk out of the insaller Disc 1. I tried via Disk Utility, and althoug the CD looked good, my 1.25 GHz 15" PowerBook FW800 couldn't boot from it. Is that because it's looking for a desktop?

Yes, Japamac, the RAM is pitiful. I have a newer MacBook Pro and the PowerBook has been sitting for about 3 years. At first I thought that one of the RAM chips was bad when I loked at System Profiler and only saw 256MB. But I opened it up and to my surprise there was only one chip. Like the urban legend where you wake up after a night on the town with only one kidney. I did a fair chunk of my PhD on that computer, running Matlab simulations and other heavy math. Not sure how I did it with one sad little 256MB chip. I have two 512MB chips on order for it.

I want AHT 2.0.2 to check if the hard drive and other hardware are good before putting anything more into it. The terrible lag and constant work of the hard drive could well be the RAM shortage, but I'd like to make sure. Any idea how I can get AHT on a startup disk from the material you linked?

Thanks,

Cedric

Hi Japmac

I am also looking for the AHT for a powerbook g4 12 1.33 that I have got with a constantly running fan but I do not have the discs as I bought it used

Help!!!!!! hopefully you can help me because apple cannot!

Hi guys I am back to report that I am still having an issue with my PowerBook g4 12" 867 MHz 128 mb ram. I now have it updated with a 512 mb ram chip and airport extreme card. The issue I am having is with the keyboard still and would like the 2.0.2 aht. If anyone can help that would be appreciated.

Thank you Lee

Hi guys I think I have solved my problem with my PowerBook g4 12" al 867 MHz 128 mb ram upgraded to 640 mb and all software updates. I did a keyboard test today as I believe I am having keyboard issues. I took out the original keyboard and tried my iBook g3 keyboard and figured out that I had to plug it in upside down. I started having trouble with this keyboard on my now half working iBook g3. Tried this keyboard and all the keys work but the eject key without messing with the keyboard settings in system prefs. I still am having the strange issue with the computer beeping like I am holding down a key. The machine acts like I am holding down the down arrow key and when I open up a folder or Internet it automatically scrolls down to the bottom and the track pad tracks weird. I then decided to unplug the keyboard with it on as it is password only to log on and it works just fine. My question is does this mean my keyboards are messed up or is it the keyboard port or hardware also will aht 2.0.2 tell me if my keyboards are messed up. I hope I can get a copy of aht 2.0.2.

Thanx Lee
