DOA PowerMac G5
Hello,
I am hoping that there may be some tech savvy people here who can advise me. My PowerMac G5 2.5 duo processors recently started acting up. There were times that the power button would not function. Could not shut it down and sometimes couldn't start it up. Other times it worked. I took it into the Apple Store and they gave it a complete going over. Tried a new power button unit, which didn't solve the problem. Next they replaced the power supply which that didn't help. After a couple of weeks they decided the problem was either a bad logic board or one of the processors were faulty.
The computer is 3 1/2 years old. Fortunately I was able to back up everything I needed and purchased a new G5 MacPro. I would like to sell the old computer for parts only. I was wondering if I should try to disassemble some of the good parts like hard drive, memory etc. and sell them separately or should I just sell the whole unit as is?
I appreciate any advice. Thanks!
