[QUOTE="waxman, post: 272918"] Ive recently aquired a PowerMac G5. Firstly, the mac does not output any video. I beleive it has a geforce 5200 agp pro card. 2 video ports, one dvi, one is apples prop. port. using samsung lcd monitor with dvi to vga adaptor. When i turn on the mac, the led about the power button blinks breifly, then turns off - but the mac still runs, and the fans gradually speed up to full speed. still no video. made sure all connections were in place. that is after i reset the PMU. the led used to stay on, but there was still no video. -it has no hard disk- Shouldnt it atleast start, and display something about no hard disk? after the video problem is fixed that is... Any ideas? Thanks guys. [/QUOTE]
