[QUOTE="toneroc, post: 273487"] Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I have a G5 imac with a power pc processor. I recently had problems with it crashing all the time and found out that i needed a new logic board. i got it replaced (at a pretty penny) and i thought that was the end to all my troubles. I got my computer home, plugged it in and turned it on....it made an awful crackling noise (a bit like an old zx spectrum loading screen) and then beeped 3 times, the fan/drive stirred up and the power indicator light repeatedly flashed 3 times also. i unplugged, tried all the trouble shoot tricks with resetting pram etc...and it still will not turn on. Each time i get 3 beeps, the fan or drive starts up an dthe indicator flashes. does anyone know what this means?...does it spell doom for my computer. Apparently at the apple repair place they had tested it and it was working fine. any help would be appreciated tony [/QUOTE]
