Mine won`t turn on,either.
You could sell it. I`ve seen them for sale
on ebay, non working. I am debating
whether or not to replace capacitors.
There is a history of their being defective,and
very difficult to properly replace. It`s called wave soldering,I was told.As
a hobby,I might try,if I
have someone personally mentoring me.
:-D

Subject: Re: iMac G5 won't power on
checked the power supply. both 12v outputs read 11.56.
since this is a hand-me-down from someone who already replaced their
computer, i don't think i'll spend any more time on it. just hate to
see it go to a landfill. can't in good conscience part it out since i
don't know what's wrong with it.
thanks

If none are popped, I don't think it's likely the problem.
I'd look for something else. It sounds a lot like a bad power supply,
which you can check with a multimeter.
