I would be very thankful for any help on this
My late 2004 G5 dual 2.5 is misbehaving. It was working fine, I left it in the box before selling a couple of months ago and have decided to keep it now, but when I switch it on it powers up but the display screen is completely blank, black.
I've tested the hard drive, the ram and the screen, all no change. I have tried to use it as a target drive using firewire to a macpro with no success. I have taken out and refitted the graphics card
ATI RADEON 9600 XT with 128MB DDR SDRAM,
same story.
It starts up and then the fans go a bit mental and I have to switch off.
I'm stuck, could anyone give me a hand, do I need to replace the graphics card, if so what is an inexpensive option.
Thanks in advance
