[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1182832, member: 46727"] First change the battery and see if that helps. Also, you stated that you replaced capacitors according to Jim's directions but have the same problem. Were the capacitors swollen or did any burst? And, did you replace all of them? The reason I ask is that you may have a power supply problem. I'm sure that one of our G5 knowledgeable folks will tune in here and offer some better advice. So stay tuned and let us know how you're progressing. [/QUOTE]
