Delay before startup chime: bad sign?

Recently I (sometimes) have an unexpected delay between pressing the power button of my macbook and the startup chime (quite a few seconds). Scary. Then everything works fine.
Is there something that I should worry about?

I don't really think it's an issue.

  • Delay before startup chime?

    I noticed yesterday that the time between pressing the startup button and hearing the chime and thus the boot process starting took about 5-10 seconds.
    But just now I turned it on, and when i hit the power button it was almost instant from when i hit the button.
    Does anyone else notice that sometimes there is a varying delay from when you hit the power button to when the chime is heard (and screen lights up)?

    i dont think its a major issue once you here that noise your mac has passed its 1st test on start up if you think that you might have a problem you can run the apple hardware tests.
    1 Insert you installtion CD1
    2 Restart computer
    3 Upon restart hold the 'C' key till the Loading icon appers
    4 Choose the extened scan
    This will let you know it you have and problem with RAM, logic board, memory ect. This will not check extranal devices or

  • Long pause before startup

    Hello,
    Sometimes my intel mac mini pause longer than usual before startup chime is heard. I ran hardware diagnostics (extended one) and no problem was reported. Could it be a hard drive related issue?
    Thanks inadvance.

    I have a similar thing to this, it doesn’t happen very often, but I’m always a little bit worried it’ll get worse, or it’s a symptom of something else,
    basically every now and then I get that 5second pause before the chime, I haven’t run any diagnostics yet (all my disks are up north at the moment, I’m going to get them back soon, might see if they show anything)

  • Delay between pushing power button and startup chime

    When I push the power button to turn on my Macbook, I have to wait a longer time for the startup chime to chime. Anybody know of a reason/solution?

    Longer than what? I have to wait about 2.5 seconds with mine.

  • Please can somebody help, my imac will not start up, just chimes, apple sign then spinning cog. I have tried many key codes, no success, would really like to talk to someone.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • No startup chime, red light, fans running loud...

    yeah, I know that there are other threads with the same topic, but I just wanted to know how common this problem is?
    How many people have experienced this?
    What are the common disturbances?
    What is going on?
    Why is such an expensive, powerhouse computer become such a puny electronic product because of power issues?
    I posted this in another thread but,
    Here's my story:
    I am having the same problem.
    Now before you start taking advice to back up all your data, reformat your hard drive, and reinstall all the software; please take note of a few things:
    first off, I'm ****** that this is happening to me. I spend $5000+ for a "reliable" Apple computer. Then it doesn't want to turn on because its not safe. Sorry if I drown this post with bitter sarcasm but I am coming to the end of the line with my patience.
    I called Apple Care, read a bunch of posts (here and elsewhere), and yes I do know about the SMU Reset button (like that really does anything?).
    My problem happened a few weeks ago and I thought nothing of it at first. There was a power outage for a quick second and it turned everything off. When I went to turn on my computer, there was no chime, the red light was on, and the fans were running and eventually began running very loud. After letting it run like that in hopes of the screen lighting up, I turned it off by holding the power button. By the way, there's nothing on the screen and the keyboard doesn't work (I use a wireless keyboard, but I plugged in the OG cord keyboard to push whatever series of buttons recommended by these "geniuses") Trust me, the computer doesn't make it to that part of the boot process, so stop with commandoption+PR or F12 to get the CD out. It doesn't work! What's up with this computer! It can handle all these intense calculations,etc. but a power surge is going to shut it down indefinitely.
    So I left the computer came back the next day, turned it on and its fine. Cool, I'm happy. It's Working!! I go on a few weeks, then I go to turn it on this Monday, same problem. But actually a worse situation. I had a client come over and the computer wouldn't work. I looked like a idiot. Couldn't do anything cause my computer didn't want to turn on. I do music production/editing. I use my G5 for running ProTools LE. I have other programs but that is the main one I use. There's nothing wrong with it. It's optimized for use with the mac. So those people who are going to advise me to uninstall all my software and all that - I appreciate your concern but don't give advice when you don't know anything!
    So I am getting frustrated. My client left a little disappointed, but what can you do? I tried to call AppleCare on Mon. but it was Memorial Day. So I waited for Tues.
    Tues morning, my computer turns on like everything is fine.
    I'm happy but cautious. I talk to AppleCare rep. He tells me that it is a common problem they have heard about with the G5's. Wherever blackouts, brownouts, spikes, sags, dips, and other electricity inconsistencies occur, the Power Mac G5 has a breaker in it which flips so it doesn't receive uneven power supply and damage internal components.
    I like that feature. Good thinking Apple. Protecting my investment from bad electrical grids. But I don't like the fact my computer has a mind of its own where it decides when it wants to boot or when it wants to sit there and run its fans all loud.
    I shut down Tues morn to go to work. I come back in the evening, it doesn't want to boot up. Instead of getting angry trying a bunch of times to turn on/turn off the computer, I leave my house all together and go and have a few drinks. I come home ,don't even look at my computer, and go to bed.
    I wake up Wed. morning. Go to turn on my computer. Successful boot. It's running. Okay, I think, I'm going to get down to the problem. I read all the logs, not like I know every piece of info, but just to see what's happening. Everything looks fine. I decide to run the AppleCare CD Tech Tool. It says restart holding down C. I do that. When the gray Apple Logo comes up, all this writing about kernals comes up and it tells me to restart or shutdown. I shutdown and attempt to restart, same problem: no chime, red light on, and fans eventually spin loud. Now the CD is stuck in there. I'm going to take it to the Apple Store tomorrow to if these "geniuses" can figure it out.
    (Just a side note: Apple calls them geniuses, but its hard for me to think some disconnected college kid with a bad haircut and questionable social skills knows what's up with the power supply issues of a computer; maybe I'm wrong, but you can run your diagnostics and look at the chart of what to do and all that BUT Apple needs to listen to the people)
    I am going to get a UPS (uninteruptable power supply) with a clean sine wave output to curb the issue at my end. It's not my fault I live in a area that receives uneven power output. I live in Los Angeles. Summer is starting up and I think its going to be hot, so blackouts, power dips and sags are inevitable. I just don't understand why Apple hasn't considered this problem and fixed it with something:
    A recall to change the power supply, Is it something on the logic board?, are they going to reimburse me for lost income (Ha, yeah right)
    I really want to know how many people are having this problem?
    From what I've heard, it is a common problem.
    So I think we need a common solution.
    If its so common, it must be the computer. We are all going to live in different areas where the power may vary. Not all of us have the consistent power flow of 1 Infinite Loop in Cupertino, CA. So if it is such a common problem, Apple needs to fix it.
    I can't spend more than five grand on a super duper computer and have it wuss out on some power issues.
    Its a loss of income and productivity to me.
    I can't have that anymore.
    Sometimes my computer turns on, sometimes it doesn't.
    I bought my PowerMac G5 in April 2006, its been about a month and a half and I'm having these problems.
    Thank you for your time.
    If anyone else has been having this problem, I feel for you.
    It was been very difficult for me not to curse in this post, but I have tried to extend the same respect to all that use these discussion boards to create dialogue, find help, and create solutions.
    LETS FIX IT!

    Well, you can see my specs below. I have the same problems as you, just worse. I am also running (as I have my previous systems) on an APC Smart-UPS 2200, and it doesn't solve this problem.
    I bought my machine last December. In early March (just 2 days before my 90 days of phone support were up), I woke the computer from sleep to check email; about 5 minutes later it just froze. I had to force it down, but it never even got to the startup chime.
    Called Apple, bought Apple Care on the spot, spent about 45 minutes on the phone with two levels of support, and Apple couldn't really diagnose the problem. They decided to send out a replacement logic board, processor unit and power supply for on-site service (I don't have an Apple service center nearby).
    Nearly two weeks later the technician arrived with the parts, installed all of them, and - nothing. The system still exhibited the same symptoms as before the repair. He spent around five hours here, most of it on the phone with Apple. They decided that the processor unit they shipped was defective, so they sent another processor unit.
    Nearly another two weeks later, the re-replacement processor unit arrived with the tech. He installed it, and everything worked. This was around April 1.
    Fast forward to last Wednesday. Arrived home from work, tried to wake the Mac. Nothing happened. Had to force the machine off. Never booted again. Called Apple and went through the motions again. They're sending another logic board, processor unit, and power supply.
    I asked about having the machine replaced since this will be the third repair attempt, considering it took two visits and nearly a month to repair it the first time it died. Apple was unwilling to replace it but I was told that if I had another failure, a replacement would be in the cards.
    I agree with you about needing reliability in a computer as expensive as a Power Mac. It is not acceptable to have this kind of failure, repeatedly, with this kind of system. If my Windows PC has a hardware failure, I can take care of it myself. A top-end power supply is ~$200, a quality system board is ~$200-$300 - all very doable, and in very little time, if the need arises. A Power Mac logic board is ~$1K, a cpu module is well over $1K, who knows how much that crappy power supply costs, etc. If you have Apple Care, you face the kinds of downtime I'm having to deal with. A month without use of your computer. I mean, if I buy a Dell workstation, or an HP workstation, and pay an extra $200-$300 for service and something fails, Unisys will be here the next day and it will be fixed. That's the standard business class service experience you get from those companies with a computer that costs $600, much less the $3000+ you dish out for a Quad Power Mac. Apple's response is unacceptable.
    It's a good thing I have kept my Windoze machine around, cause it's really saved my butt the last 2-3 months; that also makes me really sad, because in the last 6-7 years of Power Mac ownership I've had zero problems with any of them. My dad has my previous machine, a Rev A Dual 2.0 G5, and it's rock solid.
    I sure hope that the Intel based Power Mac replacement doesn't suffer from what ever seems to afflict the recent Power Macs. I would absolutely hate to abandon OSX, but I will not put up with this kind of quality failure (hardware & service) again.

  • IMac intel: 5 minutes of blue screen before startup! Help!

    Hi-
    I have a Core Duo 17" iMac. I've erased the hard drive and installed a clean, new copy of 10.5. It takes the computer 5 minutes of blue screen before starting. There are no peripherals attached, no other software than the Apple system software installed. I erased the hard drive and installed 10.6, and had the same problem. Reset the SMC, zapped the PRAM. Replaced the memory chips. Replaced the hard drive. Nothing helps.
    The console log shows lots of delay about "did not die after sending SIGKILL." The Console log also shows the 5 minute delay in startup. In the log below, look at the entry at 5:21 pm on 9/15. That's when the computer started, then the next entry is 5 minutes later at 5:26pm. That's my 5 minute blue screen startup.
    Anyone know what's going on? Thanks.

    Curious to know how you got to 10.5.8, If you went through Software Update, using the "Delta" updates, or if you used the 10.5.8 Combo? It might be worthwhile applying (or re-applying) the 10.5.8 Combo, which might serve to fill in anything missing or possibly corrupted.
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
    The other thing I'd try is running Applejack which is a very useful little program for troubleshooting and repairing. It runs from Single User Mode. Hold CMD-S at the startup chime. Here's a short article explaining how it's used. (Also, be sure to read the Read Me.) It's very easy to use. You just follow the on screen prompts. First, just type in applejack and press return. To begin with, I'd only run it only for steps 3 and 4, which will do a relatively light cache cleaning (but, importantly in your case, clean out the boot cache) and check for corrupted Preference files. Doing it this way, you'll also be able to run those steps for your user, not just the system. If that doesn't help, you can run it for deeper cache cleaning by typing in applejack AUTO and let it run through a full sequence of tasks. Note: that if you do a deeper cache cleaning, you can expect the system to run a bit slower until those caches are rebuilt.

  • Macbook Pro not starting up no startup chime

    Friday afternoon, I attempted to start up the Macbook Pro but after the Superdrive made a sound, I don't hear any startup chime.  Yesterday night, after having to remove the battery and by inserting the RJ-45 Jack into the Macbook Pro, I finally got the thing to boot and I was able to back up both my Mac *AND* my iPhone 5.  However, this morning, in spite of me taking the battery out and also going back to Wi-Fi connection, this morning when I had the Macbook Pro sleep (Macbook Pro Early 2008, 2.6MHz, 15-Inch), when I tried to wake it up, the Macbook Pro won't display any video, so I turned the Macbook Pro off by holding the Power Button until the Macbook Pro turned off.  Now I tried to reboot the Mac by doing a PRAM plus an SMC Reset before I attempted to get the Mac to boot up again.  I turned the power on, same thing happened on Friday Afternoon.  That's the bad news.  The good news is that I was able to have my Macbook Pro backed up whilst it was running yesterday night.  The MagSafe Adapter is displaying a "connected" light (Green/Amber), and I know that the Superdrive is working fine, but I don't hear a start-up chime.
    Now to tell you guys, I've been using a heavy amount of Flash on the Mac, and all I know is that Apple has been very ballistic against Flash due to Flash causing Macs to crash day after day.
    Long story short.  Turned the power on (even without the battery in), MagSafe Adapter is working fine, no startup chime.  I also heard about the mass GeForce recall that affects certain Macbook Pros as well.  I don't want to think it's the Logic Board or the Processor, even worse, the CMOS Battery.   I also don't want to think that my Macbook Pro is infected with a Boot Sector Virus neither.
    Seriously I don't want to see myself buying a new Macbook after 4 years of having the same Mac I have, but it could be the worst case scenario.  I have my Mac backed up on the Time Capsule, just in case I must move to a newer, lighter Mac since I'm more of a mobile Mac user.

    Well 4-5 years seems to be the average life span of a MacBook Pro computer depending upon use, how much dust it's inhales and hasn't been cleaned out
    Also in my opinion that machine is too old to handle 10.7 or 10.8, despite Apple's say otherwise, you should have stayed with 10.6.8
    All I can suggest is you run through this list of fixes, install OS X on a external drive (reboot twice from it to change the EFI firmware) and see if it's a internal hard drive issue, if you have to replace the internal drive, make sure to remove the fans and clean the vents there of dust, but it could be the heat damage to the video chip has already occurred and is irreversible.

  • G4 (Digital Audio) has no startup chime and memory problems

    Our trusty old G4 has worked perfectly for over five years in spite of swallowing all sorts of upgrades. It was working fine on Saturday, but I noticed that System Profiler > Memory indicated that DIMM2 was bad, so I removed it and restarted. System Profiler then indicated that DIMM1 was bad. I thought this was unlikely, but I pulled it and also decided to replace the 5+ year old battery.
    When I tried to restart, there was no chime and it only got as far as lighting up the logic board and running the fans. I then spent the rest of the day going through the whole litany of resetting PMU, CUDA, etc to no avail and then replaceing the upgrades with the original parts. When I got to the optical card the computer started up with no chime and ran everything normally. System Profiler then reported one DIMM as being PC100, even though it reported it as OK and included it when reporting the total amount of memory. It had been identified as PC133 before the startup problem happened.
    I took the DIMM to my local repair shop and it checked out as a PC133 and passed all tests. The present situation is that the computer starts up with no chime and has passed all TechTool Pro tests and DiskWarrior says the directory is fine. Does the memory misidentification indicate a problem? How do I get my startup chime back?

    Yes, that is always a concern. The computer has a RAID 1 that is cloned every day plus a clone in our safe deposit box. We had a fire that changed all our backup ideas. We had two backup sets, but everything was in our home office.

  • Mac Mini won't boot, distorted startup chime, gray screen

    Hi all --
    I've seen similar posts (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12170891&#12170891) but thought I'd start a new one, mainly because I haven't heard anyone mention the startup chime.
    I woke up my 2007 stock Mac Mini Friday morning and the cursor was frozen. Unplugged and replugged the mouse to no avail. Couldn't force quit, so I had to power down. Restarted with a badly distored startup chime (not "speaker breakup" from excessive volume, just distortion, and some "stuttering") and a gray screen that didn't go away. Restarted many, many times. Inserted Snow Leopard DVD to run Disc Utility but it wasn't recognized -- just a gray screen. Tried resetting the PMU and SMC with no results. Tried booting into single-user mode (with a wired USB keyboard) to eject the DVD, but no luck. Tried open firmware, but nothing. Once in an while I would get the Apple icon and a spinning progress bar that never went away.
    Took it to the Genius Bar, where they tried to boot from a Firewire drive, with no success. The best they could do was tell me my 17-month old Mac was out of warranty. That confirmed, I took it home, cracked it open and removed the Snow Leopard DVD (with a credit card) to insert the install disc it shipped with. That didn't work. A couple of times it looked like it would, but then after the spinning bar I got the multilingual system bomb message. Tried to run Hardware Test, but nothing. Put in original Disc 2... and that gave me a flashing folder! Progress! Forced the DVD out and slipped in Disc 1. That started to read, and then I got some kernel-panic looking text and a shutdown. My last attempt was to create a USB boot drive from the original install discs, but my old Sawtooth won't let me run the installer.
    Is there any hope at this point? I just bought the thing last May, so I've had it less than a year and a half. The distorted startup chime makes me think the logic board is fried and no amount of fooling with the startup drive will make a difference. The only thing out of the ordinary in this case was that it went to sleep last Thursday night with a DV camera hooked up via Firewire.
    I'm not thrilled about giving Apple any more money for another Mini, but I'm heavily invested in Logic Studio so I don't have much of a choice of platform.
    I'm pretty sure I'm doomed, but I thought I'd post anyway. A quick internet search shows I'm not the only one with the gray screen of death on a fairly new Mini. Thanks in advance for any pointers.

    Thanks.
    The Genius was able to get to the Apple logo and spinning... thing (what used to be the beachball). His theory was that as long as the Snow Leopard disc was in there, the boot process would never get to the Firewire port. Once I got home I literally pried the Snow Leopard disc out and put in the original install disc. But any progress whatsoever ends in the system bomb message.
    Thing is, I had tried to eject the disc by booting with the mouse button down. But on restarting, the laser in the optical mouse flashes quickly, once. I don't think the USB ports are going "live" at all... so I can't get into single user mode, safe mode, hardware test, anything. The Genius' keyboard was no help in that regard. So yeah, I suspect a hardware problem.
    A search of "gray screen of death" shows this happening to a lot of models.

  • No startup chime

    I have a 1.25GHz powerbook that has been acting up for the past month or so and being a teacher I have not had much time to do anything about it and now that school is out for the year I have spent the last two days working like crazy on it and one thing occured to me. I have not heard a startup chime in a some time. So, after looking around on these boards I see it might be due to a logic board failure. Sure enough, after looking under system profiler/diagnostics, it showed "no information" So, I powered down, removed the battery, opened the ram door. I pulled out both sticks, (a 1 gig stick, and a 256 stick), swapped their positions and restarted. After checking diagnostics again, it showed a P.O.S.T. of failed!!!! Failure type is memory.
    So, I removed a stick memory and tried to boot - it just beeped at me - so I guess that confirms I have a bad logic board???
    The good news is that I have applecare, the bad news is that it expired on 5/24/07, and today is 6/02/07 - is it possible Apple would be flexable regarding this issue?

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    Sometimes vendors will effect a repair for something just out of warranty, on a goodwill basis, not because they are obligated to. As Joe suggested, either write a letter, visit your local Apple store, or talk to Apple customer service to see if they would do a repair. Perhaps, due to your job and timing, they'll consider it, however, if they tell you no, you'll have to pay for the repair, that should not be a suprising outcome.
    Others have done what you described, which is to put a 1GB stick in the upper slot, and run that way, in lieu of replacing or repairing the board. There are one or two companies that claim to repair the board, if you do a search on the discussions you'll find them, if you want to go that route.

  • TS1367 My PowerMac G5 will not start up. There is no startup chime, no display and the fans speed up and sound like and airplane after about 30 seconds. Can someone help?

    I push the power button, and it turns on, but there is no startup chime, no video display, and after 30 seconds, the fans spin up. Any ideas?

    G5 has these hardware issues:
    -- bad capacitors on logic board
    -- bad capacitors in power supply
    -- badly soldered video chip
    -- "There were several Mac models with flat panel displays that had bad displays.
         Most had serial numbers beginning with "W8"---the code for one specific factory.
         This affected PowerBooks as well. If that's the case, the rest of the computer
         is probably fine." by Allan Jones in

  • My Black Macbook froze using Safari.  I forced quit and restarted.  Before the chimes there was a single buzz, from below the keyboard.  What's that all about?

    Might be RAM related if the above tip describes what happened.
    If not, and your data is not backed up, and it won't startup, read this tip:

  • Delay the startup of certain applications

    I am having a problem in that when I start my G4 PowerBook, iChat AV starts BEFORE the Airport connection is completed (I have an old, old, old, did I mention it was old, Graphite Airport). I have iChat set to start up automatically so it tries to start before the computer connects with the Airport. Is there a way to delay the startup of Applications until the Airport connection is made? Is there another way I can have iChat start automatically when booting, but start AFTER it's found the Airport connection? Yes, I know I need to buy a new Airport, but I spent all my money on the G4 PowerBook!
    Thanks in advance for any advice.
    G4 Powerbook 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Beige G3, Wallstreet, Clamshell

    Delete the apps from Login items and simply click on their Dock icons to launch. That will speed up the boot process. Yes, you could probably write a script, but manually launching is the simple way.

  • How to physically stop mac pro 2008's startup chime

    I have a 2008 Mac pro and since upgrading to Mavericks, nothing at all has stopped the startup chime from blaring out of the speakers at every startup. In normal use, it's annoying, during troubleshooting, it is intolerable in our quiet workplace.
    None of the 3rd party software solutions for silencing the startup chime work in Mavericks.
    The Terminal solution has not worked since Lion, I believe.
    Muting the volume before shutdown does not work.
    Inserting a headphone plug does not work.
    The chime just will not shut up.
    I am not interested in the replies whose main message is one of these: "Wow, never heard that one before." ; "What a small problem." ; "The startup chime is an important troubleshooting tool." ; "I don't have that problem / your problem is wrong."
    But I would be very grateful for instructions on how to disconnect the speaker physically – preferably without doing any harm to my machine. If there is a software solution that works in Mavericks, I will try it but I am not aware of any.

    Thanks, Johnb-one, I ruled out StartNinja because I have tried it before on a couple OS cats but it has never worked for me. I'll try it again just to be sure because they now claim Mavericks-compatibility.
    As per my original post, I have already tried the other two suggestions. They have worked in the past up until Mountain Lion. Apple has really ramped up security around the startup chime with Mavericks.
    As I understand, the startup chime is a completely separate entity from the OS itself. Some versions of OS X have allowed limited access to its volume but Mavericks removed all that.
