In my case, I use a WPA2-PSK type of authentication. The utility will allow you to setup your connection to your wireless local area network by setting up a profile for it, or others if available. The signal is much, much, MUCH stronger than what my client bridged router could receive. Next, restart your Mac, then proceed to use the utility. Included, is a utility that I found quirky at first, until I discovered that prior to opening the utility, you must first disable both your Ethernet and Airport options under Network in System Preferences.

The manufacturer provides the driver on its website it actually a driver developed by the chip manufacturer, Ralink. While it can be found on various websites, I purchased it from Amazon as OWC did not carry it. So, I decided to try my original idea, and installed the Edimax EW-7722n PCI card: While I was able to make the Client Bridge mode of my router work, the signal was extremely weak due mostly to the distance away from the main wireless router, and that it was two floors below it. Left field idea - if you can somehow wiggle two or three pieces of strong cord, or a wide leather or fabric strap, under and around that stubborn drive and have someone else hold the cords/strap, pull the whole G5 in the opposite direction.įailing any or all of the above, I think it looks like a total dismantle job, much or all of which you could probably do yourself.Update for anyone wanting to use a PCI card. Next idea - turn the computer on its side, open area downward, with L-hook attached to optical drive and tied to some immovable anchor point, and pull the whole G5 body away. Then, pulling on that hook firmly, but not excessively, with one hand, insert a hard plastic wedge (like a cooking spatula) in various places around the perimeter of the drive and wiggle while you're pulling with the hook. Make a metal L-shaped hook, about the same width as your hand. Never mind putting your hand in there under the side of the optical drive, as per. Try this at your own risk, if Harry's suggestion via PM hasn't worked. I know what I would do, but it's not my computer. It's been jammed in there at a slight angle I'd say. If you're successful - and here's hoping - when you replace the drive and push the power plug back on, grease the pins first with some Vaseline. Working from the side, get a good grip with the pliers on the rear end of the power plug and, with gentle flexing of the pliers, try to lever the plug off. Next - get/acquire a pair of long-nose needle-point pliers, something in the region of 6" - 8" (15-20 cm) in length. You're going to use that block as a fulcrum.
Alternatively, tape the block to the pliers I'm suggesting you use. You'll probably need to tape it into position close to the power plug. Find a small block of hard plastic, wood maybe, slightly wider than the narrow gap at the rear of the drive. Here's how I'd try it - but I don't guarantee it to work. If it does work how much would the actual tower be worth (without any peripherals assuming I supply a power cord and the specifications were not upgraded.

pdf (Fig 7)? If yes, then the problem as I understand it is to get the power plug out from the narrow gap at the rear of the drive. One of my neighbors gave away a power mac G5, but Ive no idea if it still works since there is no power cord or any peripherals really. Do you have the drive in the partially removed position as shown in the. Okay, the picture - so to speak - is clearer now, I think.
