The family's Easter plans have been thrown into disarray. We had planned on celebrating at my brother's new home in the western suburbs but Mum had another fall last week and damaged her repaired shoulder. She's visiting the surgeon today, so another operation may be needed.
I suspect my G5 PowerMac wot won't start up and has weird-coloured squiggly lines on the monitor has a dodgy or poorly-seated video card.
While it won't start by itself, it does appear on another Mac as an ext HD when booted into Target Disk mode.
I rebooted the second Mac and chose the G5 as the startup drive. Everything proceeded nicely, just at the speed of a G4 PowerBook with 1.25 GB of RAM rather than of a G5 tower with 13 GB of RAM.
Later today I'll have a play around with the video card.
@matigo Alas, no. When I bought it three years ago, most of its purchase price came from trading in an iPad 3 & an iPad Mini. They still had their original boxes, chargers & cables. The iPad 3 had the SIM removal tool as well.
The Mac retailer/reseller thanked me for going to all that trouble but said it counted for nothing in the value of the used units.
I have found the box the iPad Mini 2 came in. Put the package together, SIM tool, charger & Lightning cable packed away. Updated to iOS 10.3.1, disconnected it from iCloud/iTunes, waiting on unit to recharge.
