I've never heard of that brand of PSU before, I would be very wary of it, especially since it was only £24. I wouldn't trust such a valuable machine to an IED. That power supply also causes a pretty serious problem, it removes all airflow from the machine AND itself. There is no vent on the top...

They read a lot like a typical scammer, just random nonsense posts to increase their post count.

I've never seen a DOS program trash a partition table, besides viruses like Windows 9x. Not to say it isn't possible, but it's a vanishingly rare occurrence compared to rolling the dice with 24 bit programs on System 7. SE/30, Classic II, CC and CC II can all use 32 bit addressing owing to a...

If the electrolyte is in the inner layers of the board, there's not much that can be done. Even if you could somehow get vinegar inside the board, the only thing you succeeded doing is replacing a base with an acid that you then can't get rid of, which will further damage whatever copper is...

Is this the person? https://forum.vcfed.org/index.php?members/whiteprinter.80599/ May as well out them to prevent anyone else being scammed.

And opens the system to some very serious software incompatibility that can take down the entire system. Example, try to run Beyond Dark Castle on System 7. It will clobber the machine the moment the game is launched. Say goodbye to all of your hard drive partitions. There are numerous 24 bit...

You really shouldn't be using continuity mode to check for shorts in that circuit. Continuity mode on a multimeter will generally beep if it sees anything less than 50 ohms, but the problem is that the CPU and power regulation runs on 5 volts or less. The resistance of components in that area is...

You're quoting me out of context. And there's nothing specialized about maintaining old hardware, those companies are just legalized extortion, and one of the reasons healthcare costs are spiraling out of control. Like military contractors, they'll charge $1000 to even show up, another...

If you know the part of the original mosfets and they're obsolete or unobtanium, you can substitute a different mosfet that has the same characteristics. The mosfets on those heatsinks are for the CPU vcore.

There are still bump bars for kitchens that run DOS on DM&P Vortex86 CPUs.

Hospital equipment running ancient operating systems is less because "it just works" and more because the system is attached to a multi-million dollar machine where the control software was only ever validated to run on a very specific hardware kit. The hospital I worked at in 2019 had the MRI...

What brand is the mouse? Also make sure that the power button is on if it has one. If you have a Logitech mouse that you bought from a 3rd party source, or it was one you had around the house that you don't remember where it came from, you'll probably need to pair it to the dongle you have, if...

Also to note that NT4 has ZERO USB support. Microsoft released an official statement that they would never implement a USB driver stack for NT4, even after 6 service packs. There are third party USB drivers, but there be dragons. Here is one that I remember...

The HD2000/3000 IGP definitely supports Windows 7, I had it running for years on my G7. Here's another download to try, make sure you get the correct version for your OS. I don't know if you're running 32 or 64 bit Windows 7 https://www.techspot.com/drivers/driver/file/information/17729/ If...

The SE is a 24 bit addressing machine with the 68000 CPU, so the last OS with the best compatibility with the machine is 6.0.8. 7.x introduced 32 bit addressing for later 68020/030/040 Macs that is incompatible with the SE. It also uses a lot more RAM than 6.0.8, which is at a premium on the SE...

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/16650/intel-hd-graphics-driver-for-windows-7-windows-vista-exe.html You can ignore this, it's the Intel Management Engine. It's only used in enterprise environments. That's the USB 3.0 controller. One of the HP downloads on this page should...

The OP also posted over at Vogons, which had a bit more activity, but ended with no resolution. https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=95797 The last post mentions trying to move the BIOS address to a different range, that it might be conflicting with some other bit of memory mapped ROM in the...

What is the video chip?

Just use the device manager and get the hardware string from the hardware tab and paste that in Google, it'll tell you what the device is most of the time.

It is possible to get Windows XP running on a G7, but it's a royal pain to do, I don't recommend it. I have a G7-1338DX and had to briefly run XP for some old software. I have 11 on it now. As for drivers, look at the bottom of your laptop for your specific G7 model and smash it into google...
