IMac G5 will chime but won't do anything else-

Hi all! Before posting I made sure to read as much as I can in this forum & various sites so that I won't be repeating a previous post. So I apologize in advance if I do. So on to my problem…
When I press the power button on my iMac G5, the chimes go off, but the screen stays black. Then after a few minutes, the fan goes full blast. Here are the different things I've done.
a. Plugged and unplugged the power cord and used different outlets.
b. Reset the SMU
c. I followed the instructions from http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2173 (I don't know if this matters but LED 1 and 2 light up)
d. I inserted the "Mac OS X Install Disc 1" to run Disk Utility but nothing seems to happen when the disk is inside (I do hear the CD being read and spun around). I couldn't get passed step 1 with the instructions from this previous post http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11426662
I've had problems in the past and most of the time it's fixable. But nothing seems to be working now. Are there any other tips or suggestions you all might have?
Thanks for your time, I greatly appreciate it!

dapnoyqpid,
So everyone has given you very good diagnosis and repair paths. If you look at Jim Warholics site and determine that you have bad capacitors. (Be aware that just a tiny bit of doming will indicate a bad capacitor.)
So if after you survey all the capacitors in your iMac you find that you have just a few bad ones you can buy the kit from Jim and attempt your own repair.
Read this thread first:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2287036&start=0&tstart=0
Now I recently got 2 iMac G5 20" 2.0 GHz machines donated that both had the capacitor problem. They both had the RAM maxed out at 2 GBs so I was licking my chops as they were sorely needed at the school for a video GarageBand class.
I took both of the backs off and surveyed the capacitors. One had two bad ones but the other had 12! I actually had a bad 2.0 GHz 20" iMac w/ a bad power supply sitting in my "to be repaired" area. It also only had two bad caps on the logic board.
In starting the removal of the two bad caps I was reminded how difficult this process was so I just heated the through board leads until I could move the leads up to that I had about 1/4 inch of a gap between the bottom of the cap and the logic board. I then cut the leads off as close to the bottom of the cap as possible and tacked soldered the new caps on. I used a Xacto knife to do the cutting. Be very careful of fingers and don't cut the logic board (Did that on an old G3 iMac and it was very dead afterwords) or damage any of those tiny SMT parts.
Here's some pictures:
http://s291.photobucket.com/albums/ll306/spudnuty/iMac%20G5%20capacitor%20repair /
Turned out these caps had to lay down since they were in the area where the spring loaded box where the foot attaches.
Those two iMacs are now back in action and ready for the summer camp video students.
The one with the 12 bad caps is now at the back of my "to be repaired" area waiting for a day when I'm really bored with nothing to do.
Good luck.
Richard

MacBook Pro Late 2008 USB provides power but won't read anything?

I tried connecting my USB port to a portable harddrive and unfortunately the harddrive never pops up on my desktop, but the harddrive turns on and receives power from my USB port. I also have an external fan base that can plug into the USB port and run perfectly, but when I plug something in like a mouse receiver I don't get a response. I can't even plug my iPhone into the USB port to get a response, but if I plug any off the listed accesories into my other port they all work fine.
Is my USB port faulty somehow or is there someway I can reset the hardware to work properly?
I tried resetting my PMR by removing the battery and holding the power button but that didn't work. I also tried rebooting and holding ctrl+option+cmd and PR which also did not work and if anything messed up my Mac's booting so now i have to hold option+cmd+O+F to get my laptop to boot properly.
I figured I might as well ask as i've made my problems worse...

Yes sorry it was cmd+option+PR i forgot the specifics. I did do that previously. Everything is checked off to be shown under finder preferences. The weird thing is that the USB port provides power, but it seems like it doesn't process information if that makes sense. So on my WD passport external harddrive it powers onw hen plugged in, but never shows on the defective port. On the other USB port it works perfectly. The same goes with any USB accessory like my mouse which when plugged int he defective port doesn't do anything.
A USB sandisk thumbdrive lights up when initially plugged in, but then the light goes off after a second and the disk is never recognized. If i plug the same disk in my other USB port, the light remains on and the drive pops up on my desktop and is easily read.

IPhone 4 will not power on - just displays apple icon

Please help: my Apple iPhone 4 will not power on. It only displays the apple icon. I already tried a hard reset where I pressed and held and power and home button for 10 seconds and it still won't power on

Try restoring the iPhone from recovery mode.
This Apple doc will walk you through the process -> iOS: Unable to update or restore

I have the iPhone 4S and I cannot get my apps to download. I will click free then install and then it will ask for my password. Once I enter my password correctly it will verify my password an then it won't do anything. what should I do?

I just went through this same process.... I changed my credit card, double checked billing info, changed my password, I restored my phone, but the misake I made was I kept restoring it from my back up.... Finally I went to Apple Store.. and sad to say that you have to do a restore, and DO NOT restore from back up.
I used Gmail so I didnt loose contacts or email.. but I did loose all my text messages and history of that.
So, I had the EXACT same problem and it was a software issue.. you have to restore your phone to factory settings and start all over.. BLOWS I know!

Only way is to bring it to the Apple Store and use the warranty if it hasn't expired

My iphone 4S will not sync with my PC - it has in the past but now won't

My iphone 4S will not sync to my PC - it has done in the past and now no devices show up when I plug it in.?
Please help....
my itunes is up to date and I have restarted my computer.

Hi,
Setting up syncing
Before setting up syncing you should download and install the latest version of iTunes. Wi-Fi syncing requires iTunes 10.5 or later and iOS 5 or later. You can change your sync options at any time. Each time you sync, content is synced between your iOS device and computer to reflect new, updated, or deleted content.
USB syncing
Open iTunes.
Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable and select it in iTunes under Devices on the left-hand side. Some tabs may not appear if you do not have corresponding content in your library. For example if you do not have any podcasts in your library, the corresponding Podcast tab will not appear.
Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.
Wi-Fi syncing
Open iTunes
To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
The iOS device is plugged in to power
iTunes is open on the computer
The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
Hope this helps
