[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1645683, member: 56379"] Actually you didn't understand.;) In your first post…your original question was what could the sound be or be coming from?…and I said that it sounded to me that it was the power supply. Now if your 2nd question is…"Can it be repaired?". Sure it can be repaired…just about anything can be repaired if you can: - identify the exact part that's going bad in the power supply - if the part/parts that are going bad can be found/purchased - if you can do the repair work yourself - if you have the proper tools You could try purchasing a used power supply. Here in the United States a used power supply for a Mac Pro 3,1 via eBay is about $100-$125. - Nick [/QUOTE]
