[QUOTE="robduckyworth, post: 1196812, member: 184879"] i agree, my reason for buying it would be as a fun project :) for some reason the apple support site is down atm. ive always placed the wind deflector back on before booting, so its not that. its a late 05 quad core powermac, with 8gb RAM. (ive tried rearranging the ram into the correct matched slots and so on so im happy it isnt a ram issue.) it also looks normal under the "G5" cover: cant see any leakage on the outside. so if there is a leak im guessing it would be internal. ive already looked up the lights, they mean "CPU Hang" and "CPU overtemp". both indicate replacing the processor or logicboard as the remedies (as the last resort). the thing is - it does boot sometimes, and every time i turn it on i hear the chime, so im thinking its the processor overheating. i dunno. ive also cleared all the fans out. there was a load of gunk in there. ill upload some photos soon and show you the inside. its a good looking machine, picked it up cheap, now just to get it to do something ;) appreciate the help for this btw guys.
