Hi, I'm coming to you with a question on behalf of my mother, whose computer won't start up.
Early this morning we had a power outage (for a whole total of ten seconds) which, well, shut everything down including her Power Mac G5. Now it won't start up. Yes, it's plugged in, and it's connected to a surge protector.
When you press the power button you can hear the fans start, and the CD drive begin to whirr, but no sound other than that, no start up noise. We're also not getting any visuals on the monitor at all. The white light on the front of the computer begins to blink continuously, and it's a pretty fast blink, I'd say twice a second.
After searching around online, I can't figure it out, I've tried pressing the Cuda/PMU button, but no luck. Anyone have any ideas? If worst comes to worst, we'll see about taking it in to the Apple store at the mall where I work. Speaking of, I have to run off to work now, thus I won't be able to check back for a good eight hours or so, but thank you in advance!
