Jan 3, 2016 7:17 AM in response to johnston133by iMacoo7,I have looked endlessly for this button (PMU reset button)Here is what the inside of my unit looks like.. The unit chimes on, but shows nothing on an external display (I have tried 2 monitors that work with my other computers just fine)... However, I cannot locate this button. Most of the units I have seen people resetting their PMU/SMU buttons look nothing like the inside of my unit. My model is A1093/EMC2020

Jan 3, 2016 10:36 AM in response to tobyjahby iMacoo7,**UPDATE** Found a solution! I have read all the tricks about purchasing a new PRAM battery, and all the other tricks... The problem with the mac turning on but no display is a result of the graphics card. Following ifixits instructions: Re-seated the Graphics card and the unit came on (Showing full picture on the display)
! If I couldnt get it to work, I planned on keeping the G5 and selling the Apple Display, BUT all problems have been resolved and the G5 is running like a champ!

Jan 4, 2016 7:26 AM in response to BDAquaby iMacoo7,The post that you did does NOT WORK.... Read my previous post with photos as the SMU could not be located.... My problem has been solved... The shut down and remove power cord I did and that had "0" affect on fixing the problem of the display not coming on... Following Ifixits guide helped... Ive read where people have paid Apple up to $800.00 for the fix that could have been done themselves... It only took 2 minutes to fix the issue... At any rate thanks for the post
