My G5 2003 woun`t boot up, it starts without the applesound, no screen comes on, and after a little while the fans start going faster and faster. I have tried changing battery and all listed proceedings, but to no help. Anyone who can help?
PowerMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
Have you changed the RAM? Does it use the liquid cooling system?
The first thing to do is identify what issue you need to resolve.
Does the LED on your monitor change from yellow/orange (no signal) to green? If it stays yellow, you need to check your video card. Remove it and reposition it in place. That is a hardware issue.
If the LED turns green, the monitor is getting a signal from the computer but if you do not get a startup screen, you may have a software issue.
Ji~m
The machine has air cooling.
I have bought new ram, but they did not register after installation,
however it still worked after installing new ram.
I have a Samsung monitor, but the light does not change when turning G5 on..
It has worked flawlessly for a long time, but one day it just wouldn`t turn on.
Have now taken videocard out and put back again, but no change.
Hmm. The logic board could be dead. The power light does come on on the computer, correct?
