 What feet are you saying are broken? My G5 has no feet.
 
 I use Visual Hub for all DVD conversions easy to use, a no brainer, so far 
 it's made a DVD from anything I throw at it.

A couple of things have popped up.  I have the radeon 9600 card, it
starts up when I press the power button in front, the fans turn on,
but I get no video display.  No startup chime whereas it had been
starting up with the chime yesterday.  I installed 10.4 yesterday on
the new harddrive.
On a whim, I attached a firewire drive with 10.4 loaded on it to the
firewire port, then the computer display lit up normally.  There was
no startup chime, though.

However, the incorrect time and date advisory came up.  I suppose the
pram battery is shot.

your G5 to proper functionality.

Nope. 1.8 ghz were never water cooled.  However, they are   
notoriously  picky about matched ram.   I had to return/exchange  a  
ram pair that were not exactly to spec- they just never worked.


 Do check your video card is firmly seated, since if you are missing  
hard drives from a machine new in '04, they might of swapped video  
cards also.
In my bottom of the line June 04 dp 1.8ghz (four gigs max ram)  I have  
the Geforce FX 5200.  More expensive models have better.  side note-  
this was one of the last G5's to drive the Apple Studio displays, and  
its plug is very like the DVI connector.  Be sure about which one you  
have plugged in.


 Buy a new pram battery if you are unsure of the age of installed one.

Love this machine, just slightly jealous of daughters 2.8 intel  
macbook pro.

don't think swapping cases is possible, either.  mobos had different

1.8 ghz g5 tower

2011-02-01 Thread jason
Hey folks.  I acquired a (new to me) above computer.  I am a little
unfamiliar with the normal operation of these machines.  The previous
owner on the auction site stated that it powered up, but had no
monitor to test it.  No hard drive and ram came with it.  So it
arrived today, and I installed two 512 sticks of ram, and plugged in a
monitor to it.  I get the startup chime, and the fans turn on, the
power lights turn on on the monitor.  I do not yet have a hard drive
for it at the moment.  The superdrive is still there, but my son had
to manually open it with a paperclip.  We put a 10.4 dvd in it, but
couldn't decide if we could hear it spin up or not.  Back to the
monitor, it's a cinema display 17, the two power indicators are lit
on the bottom, but I don't get any kind of a splash screen, basically
the monitor stays dark.
Just took it out of the box earlier, still poking around at it.

Thanks.

Check the PRAM battery, it's likely old and near dead.

If the DVD drive has power, it likely spins up. If your keyboard has  
an eject key, see if you can open or close the tray with the eject key?


Have you tried booting the DVD using the C key, or the Option key  
at startup?

Is the video card correctly seated, hooked to aux power if needed?  Try 
another monitor?


While the 1.6 were single processor and air cooled, the dual 1.8 models 
I've seen have all been liquid cooled?  Both had leakage problems and 
bad power supplies, probably shorted when the liquid drained down into 
the power supply.  Haven't seen any single 1.8 models.

Hello,

The DP 1.8 G5 is not liquid cooled.
Only three G5 models use liquid cooling:

From everymac.com

Power Macintosh G5 QA - Published August 17, 2008

Which Power Mac G5 models use liquid cooling?

The Power Macintosh G5/2.5 DP (PCI-X) (June 2004), Power Macintosh G5/2.7 
DP (PCI-X) (Early 2005), and Power Macintosh G5 Quad Core (2.5) (Late

 supply.  Haven't seen any single 1.8 models.
 


CORRECTION: according to mactracker, it was the June 2004 dual 2.5ghz as well 
as the late 2005 2xdual 2.5ghz quad that had water cooled CPU's my mistake...

Try zapping the pram. As soon as you hear the apple chime, hold down
command+options+p+r. The computer will restart. Hold down the keys until it
restarts three times.

Hey folks.  I acquired a (new to me) above computer.  I am a little
unfamiliar with the normal operation of these machines.  The previous
owner on the auction site stated that it powered up, but had no
monitor to test it.  No hard drive and ram came with it.  So it
arrived today, and I installed two 512 sticks of ram, and plugged in a
monitor to it.  I get the startup chime, and the fans turn on, the
power lights turn on on the monitor.  I do not yet have a hard drive
for it at the moment.  The superdrive is still there, but my son had
to manually open it with a paperclip.  We put a 10.4 dvd in it, but
couldn't decide if we could hear it spin up or not.  Back to the
monitor, it's a cinema display 17, the two power indicators are lit
on the bottom, but I don't get any kind of a splash screen, basically
the monitor stays dark.
Just took it out of the box earlier, still poking around at it.

Thanks.
Jason


Is the video card correctly seated, hooked to aux power if needed?  Try another 
monitor?

While the 1.6 were single processor and air cooled, the dual 1.8 models I've 
seen have all been liquid cooled?  Both had leakage problems and bad power 
supplies, probably shorted when the liquid drained down into the power supply.  
Haven't seen any single 1.8 models.


Please Jack, get your facts straight ... early 2005 2.7ghz and the late 2005 
2.5ghz models were the ONLY liquid cooled powermac G5's that apple made.

The one we worked on last belonged to a friend...he's still got it...and 
its still liquid cooled.  Label shows it as a dual 1.8.

No such thing. Someone must have swapped cases. If it's truly liquid  
cooled, will show as one of these newer models previously mentioned in  
System Profiler.

Never ran long enough to check...even with a new power supply.  Last I 
knew they were stripping parts out of it to fix up other Macs.
