[QUOTE="udzap, post: 1204613, member: 195759"] I have a PowerMac G5 that is having boot up issues. I turn the desktop on and hear the chime, but nothing after that. No signal goes to the monitor and I have no power to the keyboard or the laser mouse. Tested the keyboard by trying to turn on caps lock. So far for troubleshooting I have reset PRAM, but to no luck since the keyboard isn't working, so I tried resetting the PMU with the CUDA button, but this didn't help either. The back up battery tests at 3.6V, so i don't think thats the issue either. I worry it may be the motherboard, but was wondering if anyone else had similar issues. If you agree that it may be the motherboard, does anyone know if some websites other than ebay to buy parts for macs. I did a quick search and couldn't find the model board model number anywhere online. Any help with this is greatly appreciated. *EDIT* Also tried to place the Apple mouse into a USB saw it got power but the Keyboard still doesn't working. [/QUOTE]
