Blinking LED doesn't stop, no noise/response from G5

Hey everyone,
I have a G5 that just randomly died on me. When I plug it into the wall, the power light starts blinking and doesn't stop. The blinking has no pattern at all, it just keeps turning on and off infinitely. I tried it with different RAM, but nothing happened. I also tried resetting the PMU and PRAM but no luck. There are no LEDs turned on on the motherboard.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Rick

Hey maclover,
Thanks for that welcome.
Our G5's serial did fall under that range. We contacted the Apple rep assigned to university and are now taking further action (I wish our U would just let us take the machine to the Apple store...). I'll update the thread as activity happens in case anyone might be having a similar issue.
Thanks,
Rick

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE my iPhone so far, but ringer switch doesn't stop all sounds?

    With exception of a few concerns like somewhat low speakerphone and earpiece volume, no non-pinch zooming in maps, not being able to expand email contacts (to see the actual address), not having any auto-fill in Safari, and some stability issues (a couple Safari crashes on complex sites - to be expected until they collect enough bug data and make a patch)... I love my iPhone! After updating my OS & iTunes, activation took only a few minutes (early evening of the 29th) since I was an existing account holder. I did have a corporate discount on my plan and was worried I would be denied, but it went through just fine - fwew!
    So then, I'm in a movie theatre today during a dramatic, quiet passage, with the ringer switch off (I'm so polite! <bg>), and low and behold, here comes a clever marimba roll. Having not heard this other than in the ringer setup area, I wasn't sure what it was (still not). Hitting the sleep button on top didn't do anything... it bleeped 3 times, almost sending me out of the theatre in embarrassment. I don't have to go into the settings and turn off all the notices do I? The ringer off is supposed to stop ALL sounds, per Apple's site. Anyone experience this or have a solution?

    Per the manual, the switch doesn't stop the alarm clock from going off. Which is set to marimba by default.

  • Since itunes 2.0.4 has been downloaded. My ipod doesn't synchronize properly/ at all.The LED screen shows  "copy 1 or 2 from 101" and it will remain like that. It looks like sync but there's nothing to happen. It doesn't stop by it self. How to solve?

    Since itunes 2.0.4 has been downloaded my ipod doesn't synchronize properly/ at all. The LED screen shows çopying 1 or 2 from 101' and itt will remain like that.
    It looks like sync but nothing is happening. The sync doesn't stop by itself. Is there anybody to solve this problem? In previous versions never a problem.

    I have exactly the same issues with my new 80G iPOD. I have found that when connecting to my PC, the iPOD does not start iTUNES 7. This can be resolved by stopping the iPOD Service in Computer Management, connecting the iPOD and then starting it again. Then when you start iTUNES it finds the iPOD. - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
    Seems like a stupid long-winded way to do things, but at least you can get some stuff on to your iPOD.
    As far as using Restore goes - I just get the restoring iPOD message you described, which it blatantly isn't :((

  • Why does iCloud email run so slowly in Firefox? Typing is frequently stopped and "non-responsive" shows up and everything freezes for a while

    Why does iCloud email run so slowly in Firefox? Typing is frequently stopped and "non-responsive" shows up and everything freezes for a while. Doesn't happen with Outlook or Google?

    Hi,
    You can consider the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems Reset Firefox] feature via '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information'''. If it is okay, you can then install the Mozilla Archive Format add-on.
    If you have security software installed you can try to delete all existing entries for Firefox and its sub processes in the different configuration modules and try to fully trust/allow Firefox afresh. Even after network access is completed, Firefox would still need unlimited access to its disk cache/memory as well as its files. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].

  • Losing your blinking LED

    Those of you that have to restart occasionally to get back your blinking LED this might help.
    I had this issue for months. I noticed I would lose mine shortly after getting a notification from Accuweather. After I disabled the notifications I had to also do it to facebook and twitter. Haven't lost the blinking LED in almost a month.
    Good luck

    Thanks for providing the info!

  • I unplug my MacBook Pro from power and external speaker and I hear incremental beeps and sounds as if email being sent. Doesn't' stop until I close email

    I unplug my MacBook Pro from power and external speaker and I hear  incremental beeps and sounds as if email being sent. Doesn't' stop until I close email.   Not sure what is happening our what if any emails are being sent.

    You can install Temperature Monitor and have a look if the CPU oder GPU oder something else went to hot. The processor has a built in safety mechanism to shut down the computer before taking damage.

  • Display replaced...but iSight led doesn't work

    I've a Macbook Pro (June '07) on which i've totally repleaced the display. They (the apple support) have mounted the new MacBook Pro display (Feb '08), that is as the old one, but with only one difference: http://nobi.com/nobilog/archives/001795.html
    Now if i use my integrated iSight the green led doesn't turn on. Is this an internal cable-connection issue or does the led work just with the new MacBook Pros?

    Hello Marco
    Try the suggestions in Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight.
    Regardless of whether you can see a green led, if your built-in iSight does not work (meaning you can see a picture from your iSight) with any app in any user account, the repair job is not finished. Contact the people who worked on your Mac and ask them to correct the problem or credit you for what you paid for the part of the work that was not completed.
    If your iSight works but you cannot see the green LED, you can decide whether a return trip to get the led working is worthwhile to you. I probably wouldn't bother, but you might want to have it made right. The most meaningful reason I can imagine to take it back ONLY for an LED fix is that a working LED might be important to someone to whom you consider selling your Mac at some future time.

  • I changed from IE to Firefox. When I click on a shortcut in an email, I get the message "an error occurred in sending the command to the application" in Outlook. It doesn't stop Firefox opening and going to the site, but is annoying.

  • The PSE 10 process doesn't stop after closing the application. Why??

    On Windows 7, the PSE 10 process doesn't stop when closing the  application, therefore the PSE 10 app. will not restart once it is closed. The user must stop the process from task manager or reboot before PSE 10 can be restarted on a Windows 7 machine. The forum suggestion to double-click the exe (instead of the shortcut) as a solution, obviously isn't a solution and can't work. There are no updates to PSE 10 and the only access to any support is through this forum. There have been complaints about this on blogs all over the Internet. Why can't Adobe come up with a fix/update or if they have where is it posted?

    First of all, there is no difference between the files on the disk and those downloaded as the trial. The only difference is that one comes with a serial number and the other does not. You can put your serial number into the trial version and it will then be activated. The only way the disk would behave differently is if there is some physical flaw (scratches, warping, etc). Usually such damage will cause the installation to fail, it's pretty difficult for such damage to modify the files in such a way that they still install but behave differently.
    If you are dropping a file on the shortcut and the Photoshop Elements Editor is opening but the file is not, there could be a few different things going on there. Check your shortcut properties first: does it go to PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe or Photoshop Elements 10.0.exe? If the former, then there are probably some missing support files. If the latter, this is the Welcome Screen, which has likely been configured to launch the Editor automatically. However, you would be sending the file to the Welcome Screen, which doesn't do anything with the file. It is not capable of passing the file off to the Editor, only capable of launching it.
    Also, double-clicking a shortcut is generally the exact same thing as double-clicking the file the shortcut points to, but you can add modifiers to shortcuts to make them behave differently.

  • Movie after playing doesn't stop at the last frame.

    Movie after playing doesn't stop at the last frame but goes back to frame one. Movie stops normaly when played on iMac but makes trouble when placed in the iBooks Author. That's not eve problem of looping (repeat none). Help, this makes me mad.

    You have fragments (leftovers) beyond the end of the Timeline content that you intended.
    I am going from an Elements Windows workspace, so please translate into Mac accordingly.
    Expand your Timeline content to the maximum with the Zoom Out Zoom In slider above the Timeline.
    Press the End key of the computer keyboard. That should take the Timeline Indicator to the fragments which must be deleted.
    Explore all the tracks in that area.
    Repeat the End key press until the Timeline Indicator stops at the end of the intended Timeline and not some 3 hours afterward.
    What you find at "end of track" could be fragments or files that you moved out of the way of the active project and forgot were there.
    The fragments typically present as thin vertical black lines scattered about the tracks.
    Please let us know the outcome.
    Thank you.

  • If I turn off Mac Mini Mid2011, LED doesn't turn black.

    I turned off the Mac Mini Mid 2011. BUT, the Mac Mini's Light(White LED) doesn't want to turn off and the only way to COMPLETELY shut down is to force shut down.I'm worrying about bad sectors so I'm asking.
    Is there any way to solve?

Its just a temp thing and I just want to take action myself on my own phone and want to know if this will work. Does anyone know?
    SMS messages will not go to the iPad Mini. It's not capable of receving them. If you have access and can do it without it causing a problem, remove your iPhone from the Apple ID Support profile:
    Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
    Log in if not already logged in.
    Click on "Edit Products"
    Click on the "X" to the right of the product.
    Click "Unregister"
    If anyone in your family uses iMessage, they will go to both you and your boyfriend unless you do that.
    To be completely safe, you may want to simply use an alternate message app such as Skype, Viber, Whatsapp (assuming everyone has a smartphone) until the issue is resolved. Google Voice will also allow you to send and receive texts to another number on your phone.
    Best of luck.

  • Song preview button in iTunes 9 doesn't stop songs?

    Upgraded to iTunes 9 last week when it was released, and sine then the preview (play) buttons next to songs in the Store have been able to play the standard preview of the song, but they do not stop the preview when I click them again. The image does change to a "stop" button, but the song doesn't stop unless I press the main "pause" button in the top-left or click another song to preview.
    Anyone else having this issue/found a solution?
    Thanks.

    "...and she said they were not aware of the issue until I brought it up."
    That's all I keep hearing- same when I had an error 23 brick my iPhone last week. Apparently, they hadn't heard of the issue yet it is plastered all over the net.
    Noticed this issue myself. Hopefully a small fix for the next release. I think they always have to rush the first release out for the specific date set (for the Apple show). I remember iTunes 8 had the Shuffle button not working on albums in its first version till the update.

  • How to stop add-ons manager tab from loading at start up of Firefox 3.6.17 (disabling the update add ons option doesn't stop it)?

    Recently firefox has started loading the plugin checker in a new tab everytime it starts. This is annoying and turning off the automatic check for addon updates doesn't stop it.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).
