I repaired a PowerMac G5

Hello community,

I have never tried to post on any type of forum or community wall. So here it goes.

I've searched and searched and searched some more and still can't find any solution to my PowerMac G5 computer.

1. I bought it used thinking it had everything ready to go BUT! of course it didn't.

2. I went ahead and bought all of the missing parts (to my knowledge).

The parts that I had to buy was extensive but not expensive. 2 x 2.0GHz CPUs, 160 HDD and the inlet fan that slides in front of the Dual CPUs.

The PMG5 already had 2.5GB Ram, the speaker/fan and back fans as well an original Radeon 9600 GPU.

Cosmetically the entire PowerMac G5 looks mint and very clean nothing out of the ordinary to my eye. I build Gaming Rigs as an enthusiast.

So I am very a where of building PCs and upgrading multiple gadgets.

I made sure that the ram was set correctly since they has to be installed in a I want to say mirror way. The CPUs where so easy to line up and lock into place much easier than an AMD or Intel PC. The new HDD is pretty much straight forward. and I've removed everything and reset it into place GPU RAM and the Fans.

The system powers on but nothing else happens on the monitor nor do the keyboard and mouse power on so I'm guessing the logic board might be ****.

The fans do power on and since everything is mint and like new the are perfectly running quietly unlike the many complaints I see on here.

The power led only lights up when I press the power button the first time but never again until I have to hold the power button to turn it off manually.

I really don't want to replace the logic board or the gpu but due you think that's the issue with the USB ports?

I'll check back often to see if anyone has any constructive tips.
