Logic Board Compatibility G5 Dual 2.0 June 2004?

Hi All,

I have a dual 2.0 June 2004 G5 that keeps freezing. It's already had a processor replaced so I thought I'd try the Logic Board next. I'm doing this myself and on a budget so wanted to source the board from eBay.

Problem is I'm not 100% sure which ones will work. The code on it is 820-1592-A and I've seen a few on eBay now and again with that code but they have another different code that could begin with 661 or 630. Mine is 630-6694 but I've seen 630-6911 and 630-6395.
Question is as long as it's a 820-1592-A will it work or do I need to find an exact match with 630-6694 too?

Thanks
George

Look at http://www.welovemacs.com/powermacg51.html – there you might find what you are looking for.

The 2.0 GHz Power Mac G5 “June 2004” model is Apple Model Number M9455LL/A, so your logic board Part Number is 661-3334 according to the picture at http://www.welovemacs.com/appomacg5du241.html.

You might find other compatible ones there. (No need to buy there, it's quite expensive.)

Hope that helps,
Andreas.

I have been having my G5 Dl 2.0 freeze up for the past month.
I have tried numerous things, PRAM reset, in Disk Utility I have repaired and verified permissions.
Now after WEEKs of sufferring I finally just said to heck with it and I went into "Library" and also into the user "Library" and I TRASHED ALL the "Prefs" inside the Preferences Folder.
My main problem was that when I needed to burn my DVD Project in iDVD, the Tower would run fine, sometimes for 5 minutes then it would go into " JET Engine" mode with fans blowing at full speed....sometims it would run fine for an hour..THEN it would Freeze up....NOW after deleting EVERYTHING...every Folder in BOTH my Prefs Folders...it is running fine and my 90 min...DVD is almost done....I will keep my fingers crossed and hope it all turns out fine.
Now I just have to see what has been affected "negatively"..by my actions.
Right now I see that I will have to redo my DOCK, I w have to bring back all my app icons, i.e. FCP,PS,LiveType,etc
