Hello Kevin, my G5 died in much the same way. It turned out to be a fuse in the power supply. Check the 5V standby in the power connector, also. There are instructions if you search on the web. Basically, with all power connectors disconnected, short green wire with black with power supply plugged in and a regular 12V DC computer fan connected to DVD molex connector.
Repeat, search on web and youtube first. Last year, there was still a web page for repairing these power supplies for around $85-100 in New York. You can also ask for help from www.badcaps.net. Good luck. Bob On Jun 25, 2015, at 8:45 AM, Kevin Ondre <kondre2...@gmail.com> wrote: > I've had my PM G5 Quad for a few months now and the last time I used it was > early June.
