Or... "Diversionary Posting."
Hilarious! (Here in the land of seemingly perpetual workarounds.) I tried the Hair Dryer ritual yesterday (Houston, that’s a no-go),
on a PS from a 533MHz DA (which supposedly will also power a Gigabit Ethernet, when working?). Apple P/N 614-0120.
Thanks DieHard, maybe… if I put it in the oven…?
Understood why it
could / would / might work...

Replaced previously mentioned QS PS fan und it’s the fan circuit… gone wrong… not the fan.
*Old fan still stiff, oiled it and zapped it with direct 12 volts. Hard starting, but runs, smoother.
I’ll swap this PS with another until I can address the fan circuit and/or bad caps later.
Replaced QS small rubber-shrouded
CPU fan with constant-on, non-variable speed fan.
CPU temp now rock-solid steady at 92˚F under load.
Now, does sound quite a bit like-a-hair dry-er.
*Pulled a replacement QS “working-fan circuit” PS and found many swollen TEAPO caps but the PS still fully functions.
Former (faulty-function-fan PS), has visually pretty & pristine caps, it works, but fan circuit is deceased. (See above.)
Provides
fleeting / bleeding 12 Volt reading at fan connector… then nuthin’. (

Ahh, sweet mysteries of life. Fleeting Former Faulty Function Fan and that hair dryer ritual... there in yer holster, Larkin?One QS Firewire 400 port non-functioning and
all (numerous & various), FW 400 pci cards attempted, “light” the external FW drive
but fail to mount it. Tried NVRAM and other ritual-routines to no avail. Mounts fine in remaining "good" Firewire port.
