[QUOTE="Gatorfreak, post: 479836, member: 37674"] I bought my Power Mac G5 in the spring of 2006. So it's just out of the 1 year warranty now. Pressed the power button today and it made a "pop" sound and now it won't turn on. Didn't smell any smoke. I tried resetting the SMU per Apple website instructions but that didn't do anything. Is this a common thing to happen and if so, what is it that needs to be replaced? I would guess it's either the power supply or the motherboard but I'm fairly new to Macs so I'm seeking some help here. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
