iMac G5 Wont Boot Up
I have an iMac G5 1.9GHz (iSight) which will not boot.
Dont know the prior history as was only given to me a couple of days ago.
It has managed to 'boot' twice.. once getting a kernel panic & once getting to the grey apple screen, but thats it.
I have just purchased a new (& correct spec) RAM chip for it but still nothing. This is also the model with 512mb RAM built in to motherboard (only has one onboard RAM slot at the base of the unit for upgrading/additional RAM)
It does not let me boot from the original CD as it doesnt get that far into the boot/startup cycle, likewise I cannot reset PRAM from the keyboard during this phase as well.
I believe that this model does not have a PMU reset button on the motherboard, but instead uses the power button.
Anyone offer any pointers as to how to kick start this iMac to life would be much appreciated.
