Hi there,
I have just obtained a 17" Imac G5 and am hoping to get it going.
I hope I am in the right place in the forum as I think this has a Power PC processor.
On startup I get a chime but then the power light goes out although the fans continue to run at normal speed. There is nothing on the screen. With the back cover off, LED 1 and 2 or on as usual but I don't get anything from LED 3.
Is it possible to hook up an external monitor to test whether it is a faulty LCD screen or cable. Unfortunately I don't have another machine that I can swop bits off.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Pete
