Hi!
I have mac g5 desktop computer. It doesn't power up. I think my power supply is not working. I found out that there is 3 power supplies for g5 which one I should buy and how can I test to make sure if its the problem in power supply. Thank you in advance.
This should get moved later today to PowerMac forum.
http://www.dvwarehouse.com can help you find parts or just part number.
System Profile says this is the "...."? post the hardware but do not ever post the serial number of it.
However the serial number can be looked up as to more about that model.
Hi! Thank you for your quick reply. I didn't understand. How can I post the hardware? there is no serial number on the power supply and I am not really sure if its the problem in power supply.

System Profile is in control panels or from upper left "Apple" icon "about this mac" and then "more..." there you will see the serial number of the G5.
Says what the model ID is like 11,1 and other items, that you have G5 2.0GHz perhaps.
You would be amazed at where and how much dirt and dust can get compacted and inside those units.
