my work G5 (late 2004 dual 2.5) is dead. getting two red leds after the post. one at the top and one around 4 inches below (all the post leds are seemingly tucked in behind the cpu's). a new mac is on the way but does anyone know a fix for this? seems a shame to waste all that mac. i read stuff on apple forums about the power supply, some about the ram being bad, some about the cpu's dying. anyone got any experience with this?
spec:
10.4.1
2gb ram
150gb drive x 2
dual 2.5ghz
symptoms:
power on
chime
then top red led
one minute later the bottom led
fans start up to full roar
black screen all the way
Off topic - one for the lfgss mac heads -
