Power Mac G5 "can not be fixed"??
Ok. Apple Store Techs says my PowerMac G5 Quad "can't be repaired". "Parts too expensive" or "Parts can't be found." or "Not worth repairing", etc. No back up because I couldn't find software for my old workhorse, so several questions that are burning in my appalled brain. First, my content definitely makes it worth repairing. So, any ideas on where I can personally search the parts if I find out what they need? Or should I try an older tech who might not be as dismissive of my "door stop"? Or can my one terrabyte second hard-drive be pulled and saved? I used it as storage. And finally, can the content of my regular HD be saved to another HD? Just a few little questions for the brilliant and intrepid among you. And I know you are out there, so no hiding! 😉
Perhaps naively hopeful, Kate
