2004 G5 double click and flash on start up, nothing else.

Last night it worked fine, I shut it down and went to bed, this morning, when I press the power button, I get a fast double click and a single quick flash of the LED, then nothing. Looking inside I can see that the fans make a 1/4 turn when I press the power button.
Things I have tried:
Unplug everything from the machine and leave it for ten minutes.
Disconnect the power, open the machine and press the "reset PMU" button for a slow count of five.
Disconnect the power, remove the battery, leave it alone for ten minutes, press the "reset PMU" button for a slow count of five, replace battery.
All of this had no effect. I suspect the battery, the machine wasn't retaining date information after a hard restart. I'll get to a store later today and see if a new battery can be had in Costa Rica

Thank goodness, you are wrong. I spent a dusty half hour under the desk swapping RAM around, it looks like one of a pair of RAM modules is bad, time for more RAM I guess. (Also time for a big backup)

  • Magic Mouse single click double clicks and drops dragged images

    Last few weeks my Magic Mouse has started behaving strangely. When selecting something with a single click the mouse seems to double click and open the item instead of just selecting it. Very frustrating. When dragging anything across the screen it always drops the item halfway there.
    What is going on? Software? Hardware? I have no 3rd party software installed and have tried various double click speeds with the same result.
    Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

    A lot of people have encountered this, Tom, myself included (see discussion here for instance: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11547453&#11547453).
    It appears to be a bug in the OS. Annoying, but until Apple fix the problem, it's something we're unfortunately going to have to live with. Sorry I can't help you further.

  • I Just downloaded Dreamweaver CC and it will not open the app., double click and nothing happens?

    I Just downloaded Dreamweaver CC and it will not open the app., double click and nothing happens?

    What exactly are you double-clicking? 
    Once software is installed on your computer, you can usually launch by clicking the icon on your computer's desktop.  Or by looking inside Start > Programs (Win) or Applications Folder (Mac).

  • Double-click and trackpad

    right now, i enable double-click to drag any window in OSX
    so if i double-click on the window title, it should allow me to drag the window, but instead it miminize it, so what is the correct way of double-click and drag?
    btw, is there way i can simulate middle-click using trackpad?

    well
    of course i did check that before making this post
    but i just can't get the dragging to work with double-tap
    plus there is no middle-click simulation
    is there any hack to simulate middle-click on trackpad?

    Before I upgraded to 8.0 I could double click and see all open Apps and then close them. Now when I double click I am not sure what I am seeing or what to do?

    The format keeps changing but the basics remain...in the center of the screen are large images of the recent apps which you can close by swiping up and away.

    My mouse pointer in finder is not working by double clicking on the application.I have to double click and select open for opening the application.Can you suggest me some settings to fix this problem?

    Hi,
    Try this ... reboot your Mac and see if double clicking works again.
    Also, you can just select the Application you like to open and hold down the Command+O to open.
    Also, did you check your setting for the mouse in system preferences.

  • Does anyone know if there is a way to arrange songs on a playlist that has 100 songs? I used to be alble to double click and open a new page but that is no longer an option. Because you cant get a total view of the playlist it is almost impossible

    I used to be alble to double click and open a new page but that is no longer an option. Because you cant get a total view of the playlist it is almost impossible.. if a song is in position 95 and I want to put it at 3 I have to hold it and drag it till the curor moves.. This makes creating an order almnost impossible because you cn only see half of the songs

    Sep 4, 2013 1:03 PM   in reply to SmartyPanouZe3rd
    This is a follow-up to the above question I had.
    Since i noticed people looking at the question, but no replies showing up, i contacted BC support directly with the same question.
    I got a reply.
    I did tests based on the reply.
    Here is what is going on based on the reply.
    (spoiler alert : It works... but it's not yet a perfect score.)
    All the details are posted here :

    Hope this can help others.
    Cheers.
    PS  I still will use DW for the heavy lifting...
           But MUSE is nice for quickly putting together a mini website.

  • If I got one of the free books off of Itunes, how do I read it? I double click and it does nothing. Is it only to hook up to Iphones or Ipads?

    I got one of the free books of Itunes and I'm wondering how I read it.  I double click and nothing happens.  Is it only for Ipads and Iphones??

    If you have one of the public-domain books provided by Project Gutenberg (these are books published many years ago and which have therefore fallen out of copyright, such as the Dickens and Jane Austin books), you should be able to open it using Calibre:
    http://calibre-ebook.com/
    or one of the other applications that can open ePub format. Launch the app and point it to the book file, which will be in your iTunes folder, in iTunes Music (Media) -> Books.
