Hi im a pc technician i have worked as a tech for over 5 years and I’m quite stuck I have just bought a Power Mac G5 that was not working to try to familiarise myself with the systems but I’m having little luck repairing the issues which are
• System powers on but no beeps or sounds just a blank screen
• Fans run at normal speed then start to spin very fast (as if there is a heat build-up)
When I received the system the video card was not seated correctly
My questions
• I have a DVI cable that only fits in to the smaller DVI port Labelled 2. Do you need an adapter for the larger port to DVI to use on a non Mac monitor?
Thank you all
Steve
