Title: G4 cpu replacement not working
Post by: geoff-h3o on May 04, 2008, 01:07:05 AM

Hi; I just tried replacing my cpu in my quicksilver 733hhz with a dual 1ghz from a quicksilver 2002.
No boot, no start-up chord (which I think would show that the cpu is recognized). When I put the 733  back in everything  works fine.  Upgrades sellers sell the same cpus to fit both machines, as far as I can see. Praps the replacement is dud.
Anyone any ideas? Thanks.

Since the old cpu works again when you put it in, it sounds like the new one is either the wrong kind or a dud.  I'd talk to where you bought it from.
