I'm new here so I apologise for being a noob, but anyway I recently had to dismantle my Power Mac G5 in order to repair the damaged case.
I had to remove the RAM, the two CPUs and heat-sinks, disconnect the PSU from the motherboard and remove that metal plate that sits on top of the power supply.
After all this I released I didn't need to go any further and did the repair to the case ONLY. I then reinstalled the processors and connected everything back up, and replaced the FX5200 with a Nvidia GeForce 6800 Ultra.
I plugged the power cable back in and pressed the power button on the front I/O, nothing happened, no LED, no chime, no fans, nothing.
I've read elsewhere that it could be the battery but the fact I removed the CPUs and disconnected the power supply seems like a more likely cause of the problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Cheers
