Problems with G5-Need Help Narrowing Down Issue

I have I PowerMac G5 dual 2.0 GHz from the June 2004 bracket and am having issues getting it to turn on. When I press the power button I will get one of three results. One: the light will come on when pressed, the fans will rev and I can hear the hear drive start to work, but the power light will go back out after a second or two while the fans still spin. Second: the power button is depressed and no light comes on but the fans, hard drive start up, etc. Third but least common is that the power button is depressed and it will come on as normal, boot up just fine and I'm able to use the computer-going as far as running apps and games with no problem. I've taken the steps mentioned in other threads such as resetting the PSU, swapping batteries, reseating video card/RAM but the results with start up are varied so much as to I can't tell what (if anything) is helping. I don't know if it's power supply issue (because the fans and other things seem to work fine) or a motherboard issue (but that wouldn't explain why it works fine when it wants to). I'm stuck. Any help is greatl appreciated.

Hi fiveinchwrench-
Usually this problem is either a power supply or mother board. It sounds more like a power supply to me but there is no way to tell from here.
It may be worth taking it to an Authorized Apple Repair Center for a diagnosis. Both a power supply and a mother board will probably be in short supply, but the power supply will by far be the cheaper component.

  • Problem with tables -- need help!

    I am having problems with table formatting, when using
    Preformatted text. The tables look fine in the WYSIWYG editor, but
    have lots of extra space above and below the text when looking at
    the output files.
    I will attach the code from one of the HTML files from my
    project, so you can see what I'm talking about.
    Thanks.

    Well, if you're talking about the single-celled table with
    the line:
    <p class=Preformatted>[assembly:
    Ace.AceAssembly]</p>
    </pre>
    ... you can eliminate the <P> tags. that will give you
    one line less. Otherwise, your remaining space is the result of the
    <PRE> tag. It, like the <XMP> tag, gives it one line of
    space beneath as well.
    Your alternative beyond that would be to, when needed, wrap
    up the script in Javascript. That line, for instance, wouldn't need
    it.

  • Problem with sysdba need help

    I faced a difficult problem with sysdba. The thing is, I don't have a user name " 1/2@3 ". But the moment I connected as 1/2@3 as sysdba, then it connected automatically and to utter surprise I could drop a user.
    If it is so, then how the database will remain secure.
    Definitely there is a solution and I need it urgently.

    Hi
    c:\> sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
    After logging into SQL, check the username using:
    SQL> Show user
    If the above command returns "sys", change the password of the user "sys" using:
    SQL> Alter user sys identified by "yourpassword";
    Thank You

  • Big problems with IMac-need help

    I have an older model iMac G5 that my daughter has been using on week-ends when she comes home from the local college. She said that she was having a lot of problems with Safari quitting, getting weird messages with MS Office and kernel panics. I decided that the best thing to do would be to erase and install Leopard. During the installation process I got a message that Leopard could not install due to a problem with the base system. I then tried to install from the restore discs (which were backups that I had on hand since I couldn't find the originals) and from a Tiger install disc. I got errors each time. Now there was no longer an operating system on the iMac. I took it to the local genius bar. The genius seemed kind of frazzled since he was helping several people, but he seemed sure that it was the hard drive because of the kernel panics and the fact that he couldn't install anything onto the computer from an external firewire drive.
    I purchased a new hard drive from Amazon and a friend who is very knowledgeable about these things installed it for me. We still couldn't install an operating system. We then installed it using Target Mode by putting the Tiger DVD on a Powerbook. I then proceeded with Software Update. I had no problems with applications like iTunes and DVD player. However, whenever I tried to upgrade the operating system I got this message "The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed by "Apple". I used Disc Utility with the Tiger DVD and it showed no problems.
    So, there is obviously something really wrong. I have no idea what it is. Any ideas out there? Should I take the iMac back to the genius bar? I don't want to spend a lot more money on it, since it is just used on week-ends when my daughter is home. Thanks.

    It could be any of those things, but likely is the motherboard. Take it in and have Apple look at it.
    Let us know what they say, please.

  • Connection issue - Need help narrowing down

    Hi guys. Trying to pinpoint what's wrong with my connection. I've got a Westell 7500 on DSL. The speed is great, except every so often I'll lose my connection. Happens once every couple of weeks or so and it's usually at night around 8:00. All the lights on the modem/router look normal. But neither one of my 2 computers in the room can get a connection. I can't even log in to the router when this happens. After about an hour the connection appears to fix itself and switch back on. I've tried switching the router off and on to re-establish the connection but it seems to have no effect. Only thing I noticed is when I power-cycle it, the LED on the router labeled "Internet" sometimes remains off. Other times it stays solid green, even though the connection still doesn't work.
    When it's back online and I check my transceiver stats they look fine. I can post 'em if you guys want but everything looked within normal range to me and I have no speed problems so I don't think line quality is the issue.
    Even if you can't help me solve the problem, I hope someone can at least help me figure out whether it's a faulty router or Verizon's service in the area just shuts down temporarily (service status page never says anything).
    Thanks in advance!

    Had another disconnection. But I was able to get to the router and re-connect right away. Usually doesn't even let me get to the router. Anyways, do these entries from the log mean anything to you guys? I lost the connection at about 22:59.

  • Serious and Sudden Problem with Z10 NEED HELP PLEASE

    I have a z10, one of the first that came out in Toronto (if it makes a
    difference), a couple of hours ago I came across a serious and sudden
    problem.
    I was able to swipe left and right between pages of apps, even drop down
    from the top, but I cannot open anything, not even make a call or settings
    options.
    Any time I try to, for a split second it looks like its about to load
    something then nothing. (image slides to the right quickly and goes back on
    every attempt)
    So I first did a reset, same problem, then I did a battery pull (about 15 minutes) and problem presisted.
    I tried through USB to do a backup on blackberry manager and perhaps do a
    re-install of everything, however when I was prompted for the password of
    my device on my PC it kept telling me it was an incorrect password (I use
    this blackberry on my computer 4-7 days a week, twice a day sometimes for a
    year and I have never miss typed my password nor have i changed it)
    After trying everything to make sure the first letter maybe was upper/lower
    case, even my other possible phone password, nothing worked..
    On the 5th failed attempt my phone prompted me to type 'blackberry', which
    i did, then i typed my password on my phone which i type in about 15 times
    a day becuase I set my phone to a 5 minute lock and still said it was incorrect.... I am no on 9/10 attempts and lost
    for options.
    Please if anyone can give me any suggestions, or even how to backup my phone
    and whipe it now, or I have an earlier backup form 4 months ago that I
    wouldnt mind going back to in worst case scenario.
    Thank you for your help in advance,
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Sorry, no I haven't experienced that. It could be from an app you downloaded but that's just a guess. Wiping the device will tell us a lot. If the device still doesn't work you'll want to reload the OS using BB Link. if it still doesn't work after that then warranty support will be necessary through Rogers.

  • Having problems with burning - need help please!

    when I try and burn a disk itunes says no recording
    software found. Everytime I start up itunes it says the drivers associated with burning are missing. It ask me to
    reinstall the software which I do and I have the same
    problem. I have other burning software but cant burn any
    itunes Ive purchased do to the format. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    The german note is:
    Achtung
    Die Registrierungseinträge für die iTunes Treiber zum Import und Brennen von CDs und DVDs fehlen. Diese kann Folge der Installation einer anderen Software zum Brennen von CDs sein. Bitte installieren sie iTunes erneut.
    Could anybody please help me??

    I need more information about your hardware configuration. Run the iTunes Help menu -> Run CD Diagnostics... command and post the results here.
    I'm assuming that you're not running 64-bit windows.
    It sounds like the driver didn't get installed. You could try doing a repair install on iTunes --
    Windows Start menu -> Settings -> Control Panels -> Add or Remove Programs
    Select iTunes, Select Change/Remove button, Select "Repair" radio button, click OK.
    If that doesn't work, you might try downloading just the CD drivers from :
    http://www.gearsoftware.com/support/drivers.cfm
    Get the first link, not the second one that talks about gearsec compatibility.

  • Problem with ichat, need help reinstalling.

    Hey guys, I'm new to mac so I need a little help.
    I did something last night to my comp and I'm not sure what it was. But when I click on the iChat icon it just comes up with a ? I search in spotlight and it's not there. I must have deleted it while getting rid of some other things. I don't have time machine and I need some help reinstalling. When I bought the mac it had Tiger and I still have those disc, but right now I have upgraded to Leopard. Where can I find iChat to reinstall? I looked on the iLife section of the Tiger discs but I couldn't find it. Any info will help.
    Thanks

    update
    I downloaded pacifist and got ichat to reinstall from my Tiger 10.4.9 disc, however, now when I try to open iChat it says, You cannot use the application “iChat” with this version of Mac OS X. I have leopard 10.5.2. Does anyone know how to update the version I have? I use the mac updater but it doesn't find anything.

  • Blacklight Problem with z61t - Need help!

    I'm at my wit's end with this, so I would appreciate some help.
    I cracked the LCD of my z61t a few weeks ago and I've gone through a number of ebay vendors trying to get a good LCD. The first one I'm 90% sure had a bad backlight. I plugged in the panel and the backlight didn't turn on. I plugged the cracked panel back in and its backlight worked. Returned it. The second panel I ordered was some generic panel even though the seller sold it as genuine. Returned it. The third panel just came in and when I plugged in the panel the backlight didn't turn on. I plugged the cracked panel in and its backlight didn't work.
    So now I ask, what's the problem? When your backlight doesn't work the causes are (1) bad CCFL tube (2) bad inverter (3) bad display cable (4) bad motherboard. All 4 were working fine a week ago, and the laptop has just been sitting on my desk for the last week, so what happened?
    One of the causes of bad motherboard is a fuse pops, which I guess could have happened.
    Another idea is that the laptop thinks the screen is closed. Older laptops had a physical switch for open/closed panel, but I haven't seen it on the z61t. Does anyone know what/where the switch is? I painted the lid and bezels (posted on thinkpads.com), so I'm wondering if the switch is covered or stuck.
    I'd appreciate any thoughts! Thanks!

    It was the inverter. Not sure what happened to it, but I cannibalized my girlfriend's z61t for a working one.

  • Problems with W510 need help

    First problem is since I ran the new updates my laptop will not enter sleep mode by pressing the power button. It used to before now it wont. Ive checked my setting and they are still set to sleep when power button is pressed on the windows setting.
    Second, Ive been noticing that my Internet connection keeps disconnecting at random times for no reason, then it will re-connect. I never had this problem before with other laptops and my router and modem are fine.

    First, Check for updates manually to see if there's any other new updates that is not yet available in ThinkVantage System Update, if possible, update your BIOS.
    Second, try to look for new Wireless or LAN driver. Try to get newer driver from Intel.com if your wireless or LAN card is from Intel.
    Best Regards

    Hi saiyed adil, 
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    It appears that your iPhone 5s sometimes produces low sound, but a restart corrects it. 
    It can take some time to isolate and resolve intermittent issues like this one, and I'd recommend going through the steps in this guide the next time it occurs:
    If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support

  • What should we do if we're still having blue screen crashes with iTunes 8?

    I'm running Vista x64 and iTunes 8 is still unstable for me. It doesn't BSOD regularly, but does it enough to be very annoying. I've already applied the official Apple solution (uninstall/reinstall), but that didn't seem to make much of a difference.
