Hi, Y'All, This morning when I went into my computer/library, I detected a strong electrical smell. The computer system had been shut down Thursday night and was still off this morning. I suspected at first my flourescent magnifying lamp had a fried ballast. So not being that handy, I shut down everything electrical and called the family electrician. He hasn't made it yet. About 3:30 p.m. I used a flashlight to reconnect only my G-5 computer system, punched the start button on the front, and got ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Now I'm really concerned, scared, almost terrified. I've had this G-5 only since Dec '09. No trouble except the usual noisy fan(s).
Can someone give me a checklist to go through before I haul this heavy behemoth 50+ miles to a repair dealership. My invoice from Powermax lists it as "Used Power Mac G5 PCI-X/2.5 GHz Dual Processor 2GB RAM160 GB internal drive, internal SuperDriveKbrd, mouse ATI Radeon 9600 XT Video OS 10.4.11 installed usual 90 day warranty gone past of course.
