Just saw this on Action Retro - cannot wait to bring my dead 20inch iMac G4 back to life 😍😍😍
Good on you guys for developing these boards. I hope the future is bright for this company, and it helps stop the pile-up of e-waste.
This is awesome stuff! I love the iMac g4 and have just ordered a fully working one for a bargain price! I’ll 100% be getting one of these boards from you guys!
Very nice!! Also, this may seem a bit far-fetched, but I would love to see a DockLite for the tray-loading G3 iMac. It has a DB15 cable which can easily be converted to VGA, but unfortunately no one seems to have really documented the power-on stage where the monitor can function with the DB15 source (in this case, the iMac motherboard). As such, it's unfortunately required you keep the iMac motherboard and run a DB15 cable from the monitor portion to another source like it's JankFest 1998.
You never know where our next product will take us ;)
THANKS for this. I'm currently broke lol but maybe in a few months I'll make this investment for my 20"
Will you guys make a version for the 15 inch iMac g4 model?
It would be super great if with this board has internal connectors to use a mac mini logic board that would be the perfect use for the imac and bring it to the 2024.
Please please do one of these for the 17”. My wallet is itching to buy one!!
Its now on sale for the 1GHz 17" G4 =)
@@juicy_crumbjust seen! That’s awesome. Will be ordering up
@@juicy_crumbalso for the 15“ would be nice!!! When will it be available?
why not make it to accommodate a M1/2/3 Mac mini logic board so it will become a real Mac instead of a monitor.
That would be absolutely cool!! That way it would probably be possible to keep the CD/DVD drive.
Cause now it can work with any pc so its future proof
It's always a possibility, however it also ties the board to the specific board we create it for. This limits possible future products or integrations. We are listening however and never say never. Watch this space.
Just received mine. Love it. I would LOVE to see a version that accommodates Mac mini logic boards
Been looking for something like this!! Please please please make one for the 17" ❤
They are now on sale for the 1Ghz 17" iMac G4
So the DockLite for the 17" iMac does NOT work for the 800Mhz version. It says 1GHz and 1.2GHz version on the website, but it would have been good to mention that the 800MHz version is not supported.
Awesome work! Thank you to revive the coolest mac ever. Was looking to modify a broken 17" to work with my mini. is it a matter of months until we see a 17 version?
It now exists for the 17" 1Ghz and 1.25Gh models, Check it out at JuicyCrumb!
It's fantastic, but... too expensive for me at the moment
This is incredible! I saw the 17 inch 1GHz model on your website and I was wondering if there are any plans for the 800MHz model?
Please Please Please be willing to have several production batches of this board!!
I'm in the process of moving and it's quite expensive and I cannot invest in this yet but I hope to be able to buy a board in a 3-6 months!
I've been hoping to do this sort of project to my favorite iMac model for years.
We plan on continuing to do batches until there is no more demand :)
Hello, I am from China. I really like G4! G4 is a work of art! I hope to resurrect him! How can I purchase the 17 inch adapter board you designed! Can I purchase it through eBay?
I love this product
this is hella dope 🔥🔥🔥
Does this work with the 15” or 17” screens?
15" for sure not, it has different display cable, the 17" has similar but someone from the Juicy Crumb team I hope can confirm if that works OR if they can have different versions for these machines as well.
For the time being we only support the 20” iMac G4, however there are plans to expand to other models in future :)
@@juicy_crumb I'll buy one for the 17" Lampy (PowerMac4,5 800MHz G4) the moment you announce its sale!
I would buy a 17” model too , I never been able to part with such a design icon , it just waiting for such a well designed solution.
@@juicy_crumb you would definitely get a lot more sale by making some for the 17/15 inch screens. Right now, I’ve only two 20inch screens on eBay and both are over 1000
Ooh nice!
Hi, I have just ordered this yesterday for my 17” iMac (order number 5646) and noticed that it’s on back order, could you tell me when approximately it might be shipped to me in the U.K. please. I tried to find your email address but couldn’t find it so posted this here instead - I don’t use Twitter! Thanks for any help. Cheers. Graham
Hi Graham,
We currently estimate to have the 17-Inch DockLite G4 back in stock by the end of the month. If all goes well you should receive your order early to mid September.
Cheers,
@@juicy_crumb Excellent and thank you for the prompt reply too. By the way, do you have an email I can contact you?
Cheers,
Graham
@GrahamFoulston you can reach out at contact@juicycrumb.com
@@juicy_crumb Brilliant, thank you. I shouldn’t need to contact you but it’s nice to know that I now can! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
On the product page i see 2 IDE connectors, is the dvd drive working in the final mode?
I just received my board. there is no on board IDE controller nor any circuit lines going to or from the IDE holes (no pins). I don't know why they are there, but it would be cool to use the internal IDE and optical drive through this board. Maybe someday.
@@kenzito6753 keep en eye out, You never know whats around the corner.
Does it work with PS3?
Since on the website it says it might not support some consoles 🤔
Unfortunately not - not all HDMI signals are created equal unfortunately. This is technically DVI over HDMI which limits the support to computers mainly.
If you plug in HDMI cable into the board will it automatically it send the audio 🔊and send it over to the pro speakers connection?
Or you still have to plug the 3.5 mm audio jack in?
HDMI is for video only, any audio has to be sent via the 3.5mm jack
hi all - just ordered mine. wondering if any of you would know if there is any 20 inch screen out there with a higher resolution (retina) than the original monitor.
The cabling system for the LVDS arm will unlikely be able to accept anything higher for the bandwidth. So it is unlikely.
Does this require the original power supply to be working? My G4's PSU failed. I think I know the answer, but I'm hoping I'm wrong.
It does require the original power supply. However these units are quite straightforward to repair if you know anyone that knows their way around high voltage electronics.
If I decide to keep the Mac Mini as an external unit sitting next to to my iMac 20“, would the internal CD/DVD drive of the iMac still work?
It's not designed that way as yet.
Not as yet, however we are working on something. Keep an eye out on our newsletter
Thanks for this. I ordered one for my 20" iMac G4. Unfortunately I can't see any twixxer comments without creating an account, so I don't know if you posted any updates on the backorder for this. I hope you'll consider maybe joining Mastodon as well.
We’re still working on sourcing parts for the next batch! Some of these connectors are quite scarce and take some digging to find.
We’re still on track to start shipping boards by late April however, if all goes well all existing orders should be fulfilled by late may to early July.
Cheers!
@tommythorn we hope you received your board and are now enjoying it!
@@juicy_crumbgot it! beautiful. Not installed yet, sorry.
@@juicy_crumb (Having trouble replying, hope this works). I received the beautiful board, but haven't yet had the time to install it.
Very nice!! Works on a G4 2004 15"or 17" screen????
no
We now support the 17" 1/1.25ghz G4 Models! There is a new board now shipping!
