I am fairly new to macs so please forgive me.
I have a G5 powermac 2.0 (2023 A1117) that recently gave off a loud bang and will no longer boot. A coworker suggested that the power supply is the likely problem with the system, so he supplied me with a spare part system that uses the same power supply. I am not 100% sure that the spare system is good to begin with.
So I replaced the power supply, and put all of the parts back together. When I plug in the AC cord and when I press the power button I get a "click" sounds coming from the rear bottom of the mac (probably power supply). I also see a trickle light LED on the mobo light up when the AC cord is in. The silver light for the button comes on and then goes out right away (it sometimes stays on). The system shows no signs of life (no fans, beeps, display, nothing).
I have tried all of the usual things, reseat memory, reseat cpu, smu reset, reseat video card (replace video card)...
What can I do at this point? and how do I go about testing the power supply with a DVM?
