[QUOTE="brookstar78, post: 17982"] My 1.8 Ghz G5 (refurbished) just arrived 4 days ago, dead on arrival, and I had the same no chime/no signal to monitor/no boot/crazy fans problem. Apple first said it was the adaptor I was using to connect my old style mac monitor, but no other monitors (VGA connecting directly to Apple's white VGA adaptor) worked either. I called apple back and after resetting the PMU (small button on motherboard) with the apple specialist (don't do it on your own) still nothing worked and it is now in for warranty coverage. It was quite a relief to see that I was not the only one with this problem, but quite perplexing due to my impression that Apple is top notch quality, and that they had made a comeback serious about blowing the competition out of the water. My friend has the same computer and his arrived with the combo drive not funcioning. it was replaced, sweetly enough with a superdrive so it worked out well for him, but regardless it was pretty lame to arrive not fully funcioning.
