[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 886601, member: 56379"] I was going to also suggest the pram battery. The computer is 4+ years old...about what you would get out of a pram battery...or at least suspect it. My only unknown regarding the pram battery...I've had older Powermac's where the pram battery was dead, and it wouldn't boot properly...but at least with them when you hit the power button you would get the "start-up" "Bong", and the hard drive would spin up. Not sure if G5's are different, since the OP says they get nothing but the little light when pushing the power button. - Nick [/QUOTE]
