Dead G5 1.8
So I rebooted my 1.8Ghz G5 single powermac today and it now won't boot. It will power up, the fans start, the hard drive spins up, but it never makes a chime and sits there. The video on the monitor stays black. If I leave it long enough the G5's fans kick in to full speed. I removed all usb devices other than the keyboard and mouse. I removed all the PCI cards (two USB 5 port cards) but left the video card installed obviously. No change. I replaced the 3.6v battery on the logic board. No change. Ideas?

Re: Which OS for 2 Handme down Machines - which one(s)? and are they worth it?
The first machine is an iMac. I am guessing from his description it is either an early G5 or 2nd gen G5 iMac but I have not seen the machine yet. He will be bringing it in soon The 2nd machine is a iBook G4 933mhz, 256 mb RAM, 40 GB hard drive, airport extreme, CD-RW/DVD-ROM (combo drive I guess), battery life of maybe 5 mintues - effectively dead. I'd say 10.5 for both. If he keeps the iBook then he'll definitely want to get a battery and a memory upgrade.
