Hey folks. I acquired a (new to me) above computer. I am a little
unfamiliar with the normal operation of these machines. The previous
owner on the auction site stated that it powered up, but had no
monitor to test it. No hard drive and ram came with it. So it
arrived today, and I installed two 512 sticks of ram, and plugged in a
monitor to it. I get the startup chime, and the fans turn on, the
power lights turn on on the monitor. I do not yet have a hard drive
for it at the moment. The superdrive is still there, but my son had
to manually open it with a paperclip. We put a 10.4 dvd in it, but
couldn't decide if we could hear it spin up or not. Back to the
monitor, it's a cinema display 17", the two power indicators are lit
on the bottom, but I don't get any kind of a splash screen, basically
the monitor stays dark.
Just took it out of the box earlier, still poking around at it.
Thanks.

Is the video card correctly seated, hooked to aux power if needed? Try another
monitor?
While the 1.6 were single processor and air cooled, the dual 1.8 models I've
seen have all been liquid cooled? Both had leakage problems and bad power
supplies, probably shorted when the liquid drained down into the power supply.
Haven't seen any single 1.8 models.
Please Jack, get your facts straight ... early 2005 2.7ghz and the late 2005
2.5ghz models were the ONLY liquid cooled powermac G5's that apple made.

The one we worked on last belonged to a friend...he's still got it...and
its still liquid cooled. Label shows it as a dual 1.8.
