Hi all, I have a PowerMac G5 Quad that just refuses to boot.
So heres the story.
I always admired the powermac g5(that case though... mmmmm), as a broke college student I wanted a mac to play around with and started looking on Ebay for a used g5 close to my area. I eventually found one for $40.00. Bought it, drove 2 hours to get it. Only problem was it had a busted power supply. I went online and bought a new power supply for $44. Screwdriver set for $30. And began to work.
After replacing the power supply the g5 powered on for the first time. But...the logic board showed CPU B OverTemp led 2 and CheckStop. Led 7.
So i thought i must have not seated the cpu correctly and reseated them. Now all I'm getting is LED 7 instantly. Checkstop.
What gives? I've tried reseating the CPU multiple times to no avail and I'm in too deep money wise now to quit.
Just for the record. I don't see any liquid cooling leaks. The Liquid cooling system is solid. So i don't believe its that.
Anyone wanna give their feedback and help me out because I'm literally about to throw up with all the money i spent on this lemon. Thanks!
