PowerMac G5 - clicking sound
Hi Folks,
I have an early 05 PowerMac Dual 2.3 machine that's making some intermittent clicking noises over the last few months.
There's no pattern - sometimes it happens every few minutes, sometimes it won't happen for hours.
The clicking sound is loud - and is accompanied by, what I can only describe as, a bit of a buzz sound.
At first I thought it could be my HDD or superdrive, but I think the click is way too loud.
*Now the question* - is this my power supply getting ready to give?
The machine does not fall in the range of the power supply repair program.
Care to make a guess? I'm already in the process of adding a second HDD to clone my main drive just in case - but if someone has experienced anything like this, please let me know.
Thanks!
