G5 Power Supply not working?

Hi, while using my G5 that other day, my screen froze. I powered off, then back up again. The screen came up but froze immediately.... Now when I turn it on the power button lights for a second then nothing. Dead. Any ideas? Could it be the power supply? Is this a costly thing to fix? My G5 is 4 years old. Worth looking into a new Pro Mac?
Thanks.
Beth

I realize this is an old thread, but just in case...

Maybe neither? How about a used G4 for $200?
Buy 3 of them, and if one fails, just save any parts you can can, junk the rest, power up the next G4, and keep right on working.
You'll spend less on three G4's than one G5, and you'll get better reliability.
This is the road I'm taking, no more new Macs for me.

  • Variable power supply not working in virtual elvis

    When i make a virtual elvis 3d schematic i cannot get any output from the variable power source, i have played with it alot and still no output. please help.

    Thank you for your time to help me out,
    I got it to work using the shift+P and shift+n hotkeys. A suggestion I have is to remove the shift restraint for the GUI interface P and N buttons that appear on the screen after you highlight variable power supply, as it is non-intuitive for a user to know you must hold shift then press GUI buttons as well. I suggest coding those visual buttons to alias SHIFT+P and SHIFT+N operations when you click on them for ease of user interface.

    thanks
    ibrahim

    Ibrahim,
    Is the 7200 being managed by LMS? Please confirm:
    1. The device is setup to be managed by fault (reference)
    2. The device credentials are correct (using the tool in Device Center)
    3. That you have logging and snmp server destination = LMS server on your router.
    #3 is not necessary but optional. If #1 and #2 are correct, Fault management should pick up the failure.

    Any ideas? how long is warranty?

    The standard warranty is one-year. Yu can purchase, before the one-year is up and additional year. Yu can check your coverage here:
    Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage
    Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

  • Power button not working with 7.1 update

    Power button not working with 7.1 update

    I take it your phone was still under warranty then?!
    Unfortunately I was not so lucky, and my experience was rather poor service-wise. They're called Apple Geniuses but I beg to differ...
    I'm not sure where in the world you are located, but my "experience" involved visiting the Leeds store and confusing everyone with this issue. I can tell you, just by the looks on their faces, they had never been faced with this problem before!
    I suggested my phone was rolled back to the version it was previously to establish whether this was the underlying issue. I was asked whether my phone had been backed up and as it had the "genius" proceeded to restore the phone "as it came out of the factory" to quote him.
    When this was completed the phone was still doing the same thing and I was advised "the software update must have highlighted a hardware issue." I was told it would have to be physically repaired and was told to have this done by a third party as Apple would charge approximately £160. Incidentally, I work in IT and repair PC's, laptops and mobile devices for a living and made a point of raising that a sleep/wake button ribbon cable for an iPhone 4S can be bought on eBay for as little as £3.00...if indeed it does need replacing, which I suspect it does not.
    Anyway, so now I was left with a phone for the rest of the day which was blank and still the problem remained. On the train, on the way home, you can then imagine my disbelief when I actually took the time to look at my phone's configuration and realised that iOS version 7.1 was still installed, so obviously the issue would still remain. So the visit to the "genius bar" was a complete waste of time as I'm still in the very same position, and I still blame the 7.1 update for this...let's home 7.2 is released very shortly and this solves the issue...
    I have downloaded the package to roll the version back to 7.0 but I'm a little reluctant to carry this out yet as I would expect Apple to so the issue they have caused. This is NOT hardware related but software.
    I seriously think Android is calling me...

  • Dv6 power led not working

    Hi everybody!
    Today, I changed the fan in my Pavilion dv6-6001eh (the original stop working). After I assembly, the power led not working anymore. I check the cable, but that's ok. Otherwise the power button working. The second power led in the right side next to USB, also not working.
    Why? Maybe pressed hotkey?
    Thank you.

    Any advice?

  • HT1688 Power button not working

    Power button not working on iPhone 5

    This is a defect on iPhone 5 power button that wears out in about 13-14 months of usage just after you go out of warranty. Apple is aware of this issue but chooses not to accept this as a defect. I asked the Genius bar guy and they told me this is a common case recently and costs $269 to replace your phone. There is no repair option. I am very mad and believe Apple needs to take action or will lose their customers. All iPhone 5 owners that I know started having this problem in the month of 13 -14.
    I believe if the numbers go high, Apple may start a recall program. Please encourage anyone with this problem to post here. $700 phone should not wear out this soon. Apparently the part is defective on almost all iPhone 5 devices.

  • HP Z400 Workstation Power Supply not Supported

    Good Day All,
    I would like to seek help on the issue that i am currently facing.
    Currently, I am using an HP Z400 Workstation and decided to switch to a bigger casing. I Bought a Full tower and casing and just realized that i am unable to move the power supply (425 Watts) as well due to the cables are too short to reach the CPU main Powers.
    So I bought a separate Power Supply (Cooler Master M2 Silent Pro 850 Watts).The cables are perfectly enough to reach the CPU main power source. After putting everything the pc won’t turn on……
    I thought my newly power supply was defective and got a replacement at the same day. I tried the new Power supply and simply does not want to turn on… this is getting frustrating as I am unable to figure out what is really causing the issue.
    I also tried to just plugging the cables at the Main power and removed all the additional devices just to test but still no luck….
    I started checking forums… there is only one post regarding about unable to change any other third party Power Supply for this HP Z400 Workstation. I guess it apply to all HP Branded as well as Dell.
    Guys I need your help as I don’t want to make a mistake again on considering to build another machine just because this one was not working… Maybe there is one there that manages to bypass or have a resolution on how I can successfully upgrade my Power supply using the same HP Motherboard.
    Here is my Current Specs..
    Processor
    Intel® Xeon® Quad-Core Processor W3565 (3.20 GHz, 8 MB cache, 1066 MHz memory)
    Chipset  Intel® X58 Express
    Here is the link for the full details of the specs

     Here is the power supply I want to replace http://h20464.www2.hp.com/results.htm?SID=3718668&MEID=368CA2BE-30F2-40AE-8929-DBF4AF2ADC21
    Will wait for your kind reply,
    Thanks

    The reason it won't turn on is because pins 21 and 23 are not in the standard ATX PSU configuration. Your motherboard works with an HP configured ground on pin 21 and +12 VDC instead of the ATX  (ATX12V v2.01)standard unused pin and +5VDC respectively.

    Standard ATX PSU connector
    I have not seen a non HP PSU available that would work without modification.  
    Not all HP's are built with propietary PSU connections most newer, non-business models use the standard ATX PSU configuration.

  • HT204154 My macbook with thunderbolt display without power supply stops working on battery mode, is that normal?

    I use a 27" Thunderbolt display on my macbook pro. If I disconnect the power supply from the mac, the monitor stops working.
    Is that normal or do I have to make some changes on the setup ?
    Thanks
    +GL

    Greetings koningsvaren,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you connect your MacBook Pro to an external Thunderbolt display and everything works as it should while connected to power, but once power is removed from the MacBook Pro, the second display no longer functions. It sounds like you may be using this configuration with your MacBook Pro closed, otherwise known as closed-clamshell mode. In order to use a second display with your Mac portable in closed-clamshell mode, the Mac portable must be connected to power. Please refer to the attached article for more information. If this is not the case, please let me know.

  • Finding power supply that works for 6251 mega pc

    Hi!  I just bought a 6251 on ebay.  The person said the unit was like new (ha, ha)..I asked questions about the power supply & was assured it would work.  Surprise, surprise...got it 2 days ago & the fan does not work (no spinning).  I tried using a can of air to get it going, but no luck.
    The model in it is a enhance 2920.  I wrote to MSI...no help at all.  Can't find the fsp250-60ms model either anywhere stateside.  Is there any alternative? 
    Thanks,
