Hello I have an internal SATA Pioneer BDR drive. I have a Power Mac G5 2.0GHz dual with one internal HD. I would like to...

I found a solution. LaCie once shipped a LaCie D2 Blu Ray drive. This drive’s system requirements were Mac OS X 10.3.2 and up. After downloading and installing the 52KB software (likely a .kext file sitting in /System/Library/Exensions mt Pioneer BDR-209EBK drive which is currently without an enclosure but connected to the Power Mac G5 (OS X 10.5.8) via a SATA to USB (very cheap) adapter shows it’s inserted disk on the desktop. I installed Toast 10 and clicking the cogwheel on the lower left display the said Pioneer BDR as a viable destination. A PowerMac G5 can burn BluRay data disks if you install LaCie DiscRecording Support 1.26 for (Mac OS X 10.3.2 through 10.3.x 1.26) https://www.lacie.com/gb/en/support/dvd/...-ray/drive/ I hope this helps others solve similar issues and help keep the usefulness of the PowerMac G5 continue at least in the BDR age. Special thanks to Dan who kept the conversation going. Kind regards —Alex

Is it possible to use an IDE to SATA connector? I want to install my Pioneer BDR burner to potentially use the PMG5 for data disc burning only. Any thoughts?

You are right. the adhesive is here: iPod touch (4th Gen) Adhesive Strips

I didn't use a heat gun but this was due to the glass being rather shattered and not just cracked in the corner. The rule of thumb might be to not use excessive force, if you see that you need to use the heat gun or a blow dryer as someone suggested. I also wanted to point out the the adhesive strip just around the edges was exposed and it is rather strong so I was able to pull it around part of the edge which actually helped the glass disengage.

SAFETY WARNING

Do not put your soldering on the battery, it will explode if you do.

Perfect instructions. Finally my wife's phone has a new battery. She is so happy.

Any idea if that heatsink can be used for a dual 1.42GHz board or must I get the copper heatsink?

Readers to this post may also want to consider this thermal paste. Very highly rated. It's non conductive so even if it spreads a little more than it should it won't fry your equipment http://www.arctic.ac/eu_en/products/cool...

the dab in the center is know as a pea. See http://www.arcticsilver.com/intel_applic... for recommendations on applying the paste to Intel chips, either a pea or a line depending on CPU.

According to this list different Intel chips should commit to different applications of thermal paste. Hope this helps.
