Subject: G5 1.8mhz spinning pinwheel
My G5 mac (pci dual 1.8 2mgs ram 10.5.8 Has the mac chime, then the
pinwheel hash marks. Next, the fans get faster and faster until max
speed. I tried removing the Battery and putting it back in. This
fixed it once. Now, no go. It does not want to boot from DVD either.
It shuts off just before it should reach the install screen.
If it won't boot from the DVD, there's a possibility that the battery you put
back is dead. For what they cost, it's worth trying a new one and resetting the
CUDA (http://www.flickr.com/photos/mac_users_guide/3540352097/) before powering
on.
