[QUOTE="csegeek, post: 867495, member: 105154"] powermac G5 No offense suggested here and I'm sure you probably have had more experience with Mac's than I have ... But in reality, even though it should not have an effect on booting or power on the system .. I have run in to this very issue 3 times now on 3 different Titanium PB's the symptoms have been very similar on each one of them Most recently on a 500Mhz G4 last week the customer brought it to me all Power indications seemed to be there. Hitting the reset button on the back did absolutely nothing for the system you could get no indications of life from the machine.. after taking the bottom off lifting the cd rom disconnecting the CMOS battery and leaving it disconnected on first reboot did fix the power up problems.. If this does not work then nothing lost .. I always try things on PB and iBooks that don't cost any thing before rushing out to purchase parts.. [/QUOTE]
