So I bought this off of Craigslist today for $40 and was told the graphics card wasn't working and that there was a red light. when I turned it on, it turned on, gave the chime, white LED, but no signal. Took the graphics card out to clean the dust off, then put it back in but it didn't do anything different. Something I noticed is that when I do turn it on my monitor turns on but get a black screen and goes back to standby mode after 5 seconds. So just for the **** of it I put in the graphics card from my other G5 that I bought for parts to use as a coffee table. Same thing happened. Pic of both of my graphics card, and the bottom one is from the model I bought today- http://imgur.com/BZnAsxQ
Worth replacing the graphics card? If not i'm going to do this and sell the interior parts of the G5 I bought today- http://bondbranding.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/g5-coffee-table11.jpg
