Powe Mac G5 early 2004 gives error (no memory installed) Do I need to replace the Logic Board. Machine powers up,2beeps and power lights blinks 2 times and stops there, No video or any thing?

I just recently aquired a Power Mac G5 early 2004.
When I power the system up. I get 2 beeps
and the small front panel light blinks 2 times continuously.
The error codes show that it means a memory problem or
no memory present. Memory is installed.
In this case do I need to replace the mother board.
The system goes no futher, no video or any thing.

Well, it's possible that someone pulled the original RAM from the computer before they sold it, and repalced it with incompatible RAM. That, believe it of not, would be the best of all world in this case, as a working G5 logic board and its installation could cost as much as a refurbed Intel mac.
I would contact the seller if you did not personally see the computer working before you bought it.
As the computer had to be moved about--possibly shipped--to change hands, first check that all internal cards and RAM Modules are fully seated. They can work loose in some models.

Is replacing the logic board going to make my early 2011 Macbook Pro as good as before

I have an early 2011 15" Macbook Pro that just crashed completely days ago. I sent it to the genius bar and was told that I need to replace the logic board and it costs amost $1000. I'm thinking whether changing the logic board actually means that my macbook would be as good as before. I mean I'm not having high expectations but I hope that it would at least lasts for another few years. I've only had this Mac for three years and I'm not sure if its a consistent problem for the early 2011 models regarding the logic board but I sure had mine replaced for at least three times in the first year when I got it. I'm not sure if I should just use that same money to get a brand new laptop, problem is, I'm quite unwilling to switching to a windows system if you understand how it feels.

The first thing I'd look at is your hard drive ... is your free space 10% to 15% or more of the total capacity? If not, that would account for what you're seeing.

I got my Macbook Pro 17inch (early 2011) back from Apple (they had to replace the logic board) and now my microphone is not working

I got my Macbook Pro 17inch (early 2011) back from Apple (they had to replace the logic board) 3 days ago, I had a terrible experience as the genious who gave me my solid state disk for safekeeping lost my disk's brackets thus I had to wait 2 more hours until they find one after 10 days of waiting for the repair. I noticed some weird sounds, like somehting is moving with the mac 1-2 times, even if I have no mechanical parts other than the fans, but my real issue at the moment is that my microphone is not working. I can see the mic in the System Info however and in Audio Midi Setup. In the Audio Midi Setup I see that the master chanel is turned off and I can't turn in on. Ch 1 and 2 are on full. I also noticed the first seconds after the comp. boots the blue bar goes to the middle in the System Preferences -> Sound -> Input. Any ideas what to do or try? I do not want to go back to the apple store as it is 50 minutes away from here and I need my laptop as a computer science student. Everything else is working perfectly.

You need to call both the store that did the repair and Apple directly, warranty service or Apple care, and report this problem with both of them and get a ticket number of some kind (some kind of verification number) that the unit just came back from major service with this problem and that you want it fixed when you can lose the use of it, which is not right now.
Without doing something like that they could easily say it is damage not covered under the normal warranty.
God knows what the repair center did and did not do to it while it was there.
And depending on when you actually bought it the warranty could run out in the mean time.

Uneconomical to replace the logic board in 2009 Mac Air. Any comments please?

I have a 2009 Mac Air which has been found to have a faultyskin sensor. I was advised that it would be uneconomical to replace the logic board. I would appreciate any comments.

What was the repair cost quoted? Compare amount to the typical selling price of a similar model on eBay. I suspect the repair will cost very close to, if not more, than the selling price. If so consider, selling it for parts and buy a new or refurbished one.

I replaced the logic board and power supply in my iMac and it's still dead.

Recently lighting hit my friend's house and his iMac was plugged into an outlet. It did frie the power supply. I replaced it and the logic board. The first two LEDS on the logic board light up green so I know it's getting power. However it still wont boot. A white light flashes in the bottom right corner and the fan kicks on and then off. I've tried reseting the PRAM and SMC and now it wont do anything at all?

The strike could have written everything off in the computer or if the part still works it still could be damaged and cause hard to identify problems or fail within a short time.
rkaufmans advice holds true, either take in it for service or probably write it off on the insurance. It is quite likely it is beyond economic repair.
If the strike was close by, sometimes not too much gets damaged but a direct strike, the ones I have seen have wrote the machines off.
Also do you know the provinence of the replacement parts, have you seen them working and know they are good and a direct replacement?

Replace the logic board in my iBook with any processor speed?

I need to replace the logic board in my iBook G4, 933 MHz, 14", dual USB. Are the boards with the faster G4 processors interchangeable? I have not opened this machine is some time and the images I have come across in my minimal search this evening seem different for different processors.

No, they are not interchangeable.

Make sure your iTunes is up to date (11.0.5 is the newest, I believe)
Also, try temporarily disabling your security software.

You don't see drives when using a hardware RAID only the volumes.
WD Green are not suitable for hardware RAID (or software RAID for that matter).
USB2 and TimeMachine are a disaster waiting to happen. I've used SATA (internal) and eSATA (using SATA PCIe cards) trouble-free.
I can't say I begin to understand your use or "choosing the install drive for the backup"
Install what?
You don't load TimeMachine. Maybe seems minor but that is not how to describe the behavior of software.

You are correct, there is no flash player on the iPhone, find an alternate browser that may be able to help your quest.
Or use the corresponding app in the App Store.

I've got a mac pro problem with the starting up, but also a red light on the logic board solidly on. Its not among the diagnostic led. It's located near the BT adapter and the front fans. Also the fans run loud also. any solutions?

Hi
I've got a mac pro late 2006, and i am having problem with it for quite a while now. the problem i am facing is the start up process, and the red light on the logic board. Earlier I've got the two led on the diagnostic leds 5 and 6 turned on without the diagnostic button being pressed, and i think those are related to the processors overtemp. I've managed to solve that by, removing the processors and re applying the thermal compound on the heatsink. what i have left now with is the red light on the logic board at the time i plugged in the power. At the same time when this light come on, the power indicator at the front panel come on as well. i am not sure what is this light relates to. We've replace the power supply too, and gone through the SMC reset but seems no help.
Any idea on the problem? I am desperate about it, and i will be greatful if anyone can help..
thanks and hope for your best solutions
Kari
