==Display Test==
 
−
There is currently a FireWire HD in the MacBuild Eval area that is bootable.
 
  
−
To run the display test:
 
−
# Turn the FireWire HD on
 
−
# Connect the FireWire cable from the HD to the system
 
−
# Connect a power cable, keyboard, and mouse to the system
 
−
# While powering the system on, hold down the ''Option'' key on the keyboard to bring up the Startup Disk menu
 
−
# Select the FireWire HD from the menu, and click on the Restart (right arrow) button
 
−
# Adjust the monitor's geometry, if necessary
 
−
#* Once the desktop loads, click on the blue apple in the upper left corner of the screen
 
−
#* Click on the ''System Preferences'' option in the dropdown menu
 
−
#* Click on the ''Displays'' icon in the System Preferences window
 
−
#* Click on the ''Geometry'' tab in the Displays window
 
−
#* Select the kind of adjustment you'd like to make, and drag the edges of the monitor icon to adjust the screen display
 
−
# Check the color bars on the desktop.  Make sure you can see the discrepancy between the three black bars in the middle
 
−
# If it is a CRT monitor, let it sit for at least 15 minutes, and check the color bars again
 
−
 
−
If the display is too dark, is not adjustable to a reasonable geometry, does not provide enough contrast to distinguish between the three color bars, or does not display a desktop/picture, it doesn't work properly and should be dealt with appropriately.

Latest revision as of 18:36, 5 November 2013

Very outdated, currently at minimum HDD are pulled from all systems, CRT systems are gutted and recycled as CRTs. Parts are allocated as available for rebuilding. The chart on the wall is basically up-to-date in terms of deciding which systems are recycled, AS-ISed, or warrantied. Old Mac Keeper List will need to be reevaluated as we have no further capacity for storing legacy stuff.

This Evaluation process is quite outdated. Please take it with a grain of salt and do not use as a guide in Mac Incoming. New procedure should be on its way soonish.

MacBuild's evaluation process is navigated through a flow chart. It is posted in Mac Eval and can be found with the following link:

In addition, there is a display test for incoming systems and an occasionally updated list of Old Macs that are set aside for volunteers that have experience working with them.
