[QUOTE="johnodd4, post: 1640807, member: 331386"] He is correct about soldering but not the capacitor. See G5 powerpc based macintoshes where known for several key issues. 1. The capacitor would fail. This happens also in the power supply to the machine as well. 2. The memory card slots for the machine start to crack solder joints because of heat from the machine. Honestly replacing the ram is a band aid approach most machines need the logic board replaced. [/QUOTE]
