Replaced power supply same problem

took my imac g5 to apple store where genius told me it needed a new power supply because machine would not turn on and when it did just to gray apple screen Even though the serial number was in the range for extended repair program, i was told mine was to old and did not fall under any repair program. I replaced power supply same issue of gray/white apple screen and fan kicks on loud. reset pram, reset smu, checked diagnostic led lights 1,2,3 all light as they should. Cannot start up with discs either. Anyone with any ideas it would be much appreciated.

What a bummer! If you can get hold of the reseller, go after him for legal discs, if you can't get him, call Apple at 800-767-2775 and they will send you an appropriate set for a nominal fee.

    Should I check the memory cards themselves? Reseat them?
    Yes.
    Memtest X or Rember to test the RAM.
    Reseat is also good.
    The iPhone 4 doesn't like USB 1.1 much.
    after the update the computer was working well, except for this freeze when ever I connect iPhone.
    I'd try USB 2.0 PCI. That's how I connect my iPhone 4s, and have connected all iPhones and iPods, to my G4.
    Never an issue.
    Can't say the same for USB 1.1.......
    The above (previous post) linked PCI card is cheap enough.
    Want cheaper, try this:

    The NEC chipset is the desired chipset, regardless of what OS the maker says is compatible.
    OS X has native NEC chipset USB support.

  • Need step by step directions to install a replacement Power Supply for a HP Color LaserJet 1215

    I have a HP Color LaserJet 1215 printer that is only a couple of years old.  Had a power problem at home that burnt out the power supplies of two HP Towers, a DSL Modem, and (I think) the power supply of my printer.  I have located a replacement power supply but would sure appreciate any one that would know how to replace.  I need a step by step guide aas to how to perform such a task.
    It would also help to have a diagram of the printer showing precisely how to get to the power supply.
    Thanks in advance for any and all help.  I have spent days looking for this information and can't seem to find any.

  • Where can I buy a replacement power supply?

    Where can I buy a replacement power supply for my time capsule?

    Apple do not sell parts for the TC..
    And do not allow their OEM to sell parts.
    So you need to bypass Apple and create your own.
    Or fix the existing one.

    Where can I buy a replacement power supply for Optiplex 9020 Mini Tower?
    I don't see anywhere on Dell's website to purchase this.

    So far there is no replacement/upgrade PSU for Dell Optiplex 9020 MT from Dell.
    Will a dedicated power supply work for playing games? i bought this system as used (excellent condition) just for Gaming Purpose (GTA V), now i am stuck with the PSU issue. I can alter the case to fit the big size GPUs, but the issue is of PSU.
    Will ePower EP-450CD can help me in any way. 
    My main reason for changing PSU is to play my favorite game.

  • Replacement power supply for Airport N base station?

    I'm in need of a replacement power supply for an Airport Extreme N base station.
    Is this something I can pick up at a friendly neighborhood Radio Shack, or do I need to order the OEM part from Apple?
    I don't need the automatic international voltage switching, just something that can power this puppy with US AC. Thanks.

    Tom welcome to the discussions.
    I would probably call the Apple number.
    1-800-MY APPLE
    I am sure that they can point you in the right direction.
    I am a little shocked that one of the Apple Retail stores can't offer you a Power Supply.
    If all else fails, it sounds like you have tried an alternitve, if it works use it, until you can get a replacment.

  • No sound while watching you tube videos on my ipad. This is my second replacement ipad with same problem.

    no sound while watching you tube videos on my ipad. This is my second replacement ipad with same problem. No sounds coming out from the speakers, even after reset everything. Mute button is assigned for mute function instead of screen rotation lock.

    Hi herbie13!
    It sounds like you will still want to link your iPad and computer, but you want to prevent the iPad from syncing information from your computer to your iPad. I have an article here for you that can help tell you how to set this up:
    iOS: Syncing with iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
    You will want to follow the steps here to set up the iPad for syncing, but when it comes time to sync, you'll just want to make sure that the boxes for syncing the multitude of items that you can sync remain unchecked so that none of that information gets synced into the iPad.
    Another note: your second Apple ID will not be able to access the apps, music, movies, tv shows, etc., that you have purchased under your primary Apple ID. Even though it seems that the secondary Apple ID still has access to those items, that is just because you are viewing your second Apple ID through the iTunes Store section on your computer and you have those items saved locally on your computer. You will need to repurchase and download all of the content that you wish to use again on your second Apple ID, if that is what you wish to solely use on this iPad.
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

    I would venture to say that your 3pin female adapter should be plugged into a 3pin male adapter on your motherboard.  This allows your system to control fan speed on the power supply.  I hope this helps you.

  • Replacing Power Supply Problems

    Apple Care had kindly sent me a new power supply. It is a self servicing part, i.e. I have to install it myself. Tried for 2 hours yesterday to get the old one out...didn't work.
    The problems:
    1. Middle screw on back of power supply does not get loose [the screw close to the power cord connector]. I tried to pull the power supply up while loosening screw...no success. Did anybody run in the same problem...how did you get this screw unstuck?
    2. Middle case screw [the one at the bottom of the computer] needs to be turned to the right...which is in contradiction to the downloadable manual...but the front ot the screw still touches the power supply...and possibly holds it in.
    How easy should the power supply come out...how much force can I apply without breaking the computer's case?
    3. Ambient light sensor connector: comes as separate cable. Since I have not gotten the old power supply out, I do not know how to connect the cable to the new one. There does not appear to be a designated hole on the power supply.
    Experiences welcome!
    Thanks

  • 2008 iMac 8,1 still won't power up after replacing power supply

    A few days ago my iMac powered-ON as usual at 8AM and was working normally, I checked email and left for a meeting. When I returned 30 minutes later my office had a slight odor of hot bakelite and the screen was dark, instead of displaying the screen saver. Thinking the power may have blinked, I pushed the start button on the back and nothing happened, tried several more times, then depressing and holding, still nothing - absolutely lifeless.
    Presumed it was probably the power supply, so took it into the Genius Bar and my suspicion was confirmed; they checked the LEDs and advised that the power supply was mostly bad. Despite the hassle, the solution seemed simple enough: replace the power supply and I'd be back in business. That proved to be wrong!
    Bought a new (NIB) power supply from a reputable dealer and carefully disassembled/reassembled the iMac feeling ever so confident that I'd hear the chime and fan whir when I depressed the ON/OFF Button. To my total disbelief nothing has changed! Its still dark and lifeless as before. Not discounting a theoretical chance that both power supplies could be bad I'm puzzled what to do next and where to look. Obviously, there isn't much in line ahead of the power supply, but given the fact there is no fan noise and no glimmer on the display, I can't fathom it could be anything other than something between the power cord and the power supply.
    What could have caused the hot bakelite smell? The original power supply had NO bakelite odor and no burned chips, traces, scorched transformer windings or cooked capacitors. That had surprised me, so sniffed around the motherboard/backplane and detected a slight bakelite odor at or near the hard drive; I haven't cracked the case yet to examine the HDD - but, even if it were dead, I'd still hear the chime and fan, and maybe see at least a slight glow on the display, right?
    And so, I'm calling on all you "pros from Dover" for some insights, wisdom and pointers to help me diagnose the problem and get the thing fixed. Your thoughts?
    Thanks, much, compadres. AK

    My assumption is the same as KT’s, the logic board fried. If the logic board is functional, even if the hard drive is dead, it should power on and perform the POST. Since it isn’t my advice is the same as KT’s - hope you don’t need Snow Leopard to run some older program(s).

  • Mac Pro 2,1 Spontaneous Restart with No Boot - Power Supply PSU Problem?

    One day I was working away on my Mac Pro 2,1 Quad Core 3.0 (2007) with 8 gb ram running Lion and it just shut itself off like someone pulled the power cord (but no one did of course). Then it attempted to restart, but wouldn't boot. Basically I haven't been able to use it since as I can't get the computer to stay on for any length of time.
    I'm thinking its either the power supply or the, oh no, logic board.
    Symptoms have been like this so far:
    Initially I would get a chime and a boot start but then I would find the computer would shut itself off somewhere in the process and try to restart. Usually the next time I would get no chime and a horrible repeated clicking of my optical drive with a rythmic fan whirring up and down on the original ATI x1900 xt graphics card. I would have to manually power off with the power button to make it stop. Sometimes it would try to restart again anyway. The only way I could get a chime again was to unplug and wait (longer the better). But even if i got a chime and a start of a boot, invariably the computer would turn off again.
    I couldn't boot from another source, I couldn't run apple hardware test, I couldn't run diagnostic,... it just wouldn't stay on to do it.
    I hauled my mac pro (out of warranty) to the apple store genius bar and the problem presented itself, continuously. The gent was able to get fsck to work long enough to determine my hard drive was ok and said it was one of three things - the power supply, the graphics card, or the logic board. He said because the comp powered on and then shut off, and because there was intermittent chiming, he didn't think it was the power supply. He thought it was the graphics card and said I could leave my Mac for 10 days and they could take a looksy, or I could just install a new graphics card on my own.
    I chose the latter, bought a ATI Radeon 5770 from the apple online store for $275 and installed it.
    Problem persists.Exactly the same as before. Got initial chime, then next time no chime, optical drives clicking and graphics card fan whirring up and down rhythmically.
    I had a touch of time to disconnect everything and I get a chime consistently now when I have my boot drive, graphics card, 4 gb ram, and monitor attached. (As well as wireless mouse, keyboard, trackpad). I even got to logon once only to have a prompt shut off and restart attempt. also I verified it was at least one optical drive clicking (when I removed them both) during these boot attempts.
    The improvement in chiming seemed to be when I unseated one ram riser ( I have to with 2 x 2g ram modules each).
    I also checked the diagnostic leds on the logic board and all was as it should be... says I got trickle power and rail power etc.
    Is there anything else I can do to determine what's wrong? What do you guys think is wrong? Could it be bad RAM? Power Supply? Logic Board?
    All your help is massively appreciated in advance!

    Well I ran as many tests as I could with no definitive results to the point I would have to start buying replacement parts and testing that way. I opted to take it back to the apple store and they said it's (dun dun dun dunnnnn) the logic board.

  • Replacing power supply in G4

    This isn't totally on topic, but it's the closest I can find in the discussions.
    I run several macs on ethernet. I have an old G4 Power Mac, dual processor, 500mhz Model M5183, which I use to run a flatbed scanner. The scanner software can only use OS 9 which is why I've held on to this G4. Last weekend, it would not start up at all. I replaced the battery and reset the little button beside the battery, but when I plug it in again, still nothing.
    A kind friend gave me another G4 to use for parts. I'm thinking that perhaps the power supply is bad on my G4 and that I can swap out the power supply from the gifted G4 (it's the same model as my original). I've looked at the instructions on the Apple website (where the promised link to the instructional video doesn't work, BTW.)
    Can anyone advise me on this? I've contacted a Mac service provider, but the new power supply would cost more than the CPU is worth, plus the scanner is 10 years old, so it may not last much longer. Anything else to consider? I'll have an extra logic board, too, so if the power supply doesn't do it, perhaps that will do it.
    I'm not a techie person. I'm a freelance graphic designer, so excuse my ignorance if it's apparent.
    Thanks for your help. Sorry about the long post.

    The G4 I was given is semi-operable; I don't think it's hard drive is working. Hadn't thought about swapping hard drives. My original HD is 40Gb and the gifted G4 is a 20Gb. Would that make any difference?
    I'll try replacing the power supply and see how that goes because I think this second G4 is kind of beat up.
    Thanks for the link. I had found it myself. That's where the instructional video link is that didn't work. But the printed info looks good and I'll use that as my guide. I was fishing for more info about unexpected problems I might encounter.
    Thanks. I'm sure I'll be back in touch.

  • Mac G5 dual won't start, even after replacing power supply

    I was having an issue with the mac starting, getting the bong and then it would run for a while and then shut down. I tried resetting pram and then replaced the power supply.  It still does the same thing.  Help.

    OK, good news/bad news...
    We found the problem, but Disk Utility & fsck cannot repair it, it's either erase everything on the drive, or try DiskWarrior...
    Your best bet is DiskWarrior, you need the CD/DVD though.
