Looks like the hard disk. Open your PM and check if the dsik and its connectors look good, then try running Apple Hardware Test. On Jun 3, 2010, at 4:39 PM, stevo137 wrote: I have a G4 Mac, 10.3.9 panther, 400 processor, 40 gb hard drive. I tired it on and it went to a square where it showed

Thanks for your update, I too have a PM G5 and did not know they have any fuses, I'm sure going to find it in cae I have the same problem some day. Most likely the other components were capacitors. Readily available. Uses lead free solder. But have a high degree of difficulty.
