Jerry, I went over this before I began to perform, it says this is for late 2004 production G5's, mine is much earlier, so I went to the Knowledgebase and discovered that the resetting is then called the PMU, yet there are no instructions for the G5 tower, only the G5 X Serve, so do you know what those of us that have a pre 2004 unit can do?
Thanks again, off to bed, so I'll check in the A.M. John R.
