I have a G5 running 10.5.8 with two 23 cinema displays attached. Or I did.
Yesterday one of the two displays just suddenly went dark, like blowing out
a candle. Nothing I could do would bring it back, so I have to assume it's
dead and gone. (If anyone has any thoughts about why this happened,
InterestingŠ Have you tried a PMU and a PRAM reset?

The last g3-5-list I have came through on June 10th. Weren't these
things supposed to move to wordpress?

Bruce, I went to Google Groups and can't find the G3-5 list.

No, there are new LEM forums, but Dan said the google group lists would remain.

Hi all,
Where can I find the mpn for this 1.8ghz processor, please?
Would there be more than one compatible cpu?
My dual 1.8 g5 has the top cpu not working and I would like to
replace it to bring the beast back to dual cpu status.
It was sold as dual 1.8 but now runs with only one.
I don't know which eMac you have, but I bought a used eMac G4, 1.25GHz several
years ago. Loved it as i had my SE30 * back in '93.
My wife has used it for her eMail these past three years. I had upgraded it to
OS10.5.8 (Leopard) way back when. It's a great OS and very stable. I recommend
it
I'm not positive of this, but I'm about 95% sure your problem is different than
you think.
These G5 PowerMacs came in two distinct configurations that both used the term
dual.
There were earlier versions with one dual-core CPU, and later versions with two
single-core CPUs, and BOTH these are
The only dual core G5 CPUs were used in the very last series of Power Mac G5, offered in single processor 2 and 2.3GHz, as well as the dual processor quad 2.5GHz. The mid 2004 PowerMac G5s used dual single core processors, offered as dual 1.8, dual 2.0, and dual 2.5GHz (a single processor 1.8GHz
Apart from resetting the PRAM, I could think of some other things--others
may correct me:
1. Look for Display Preferences in User/Library/Preferences and delete the
file (I don't know the name) or move it out of the folder

Kris, Adam
Thanks for your response.
On closer inspection it does seem to have 2 single cpus and I assume
the upper one is not working going by the fan speeds - 300rpm upper,
1000rpm lower.
When my other half lets me get at the machine I'll try the simple
fixes - pram reset and see what I
I don't know what a capacitor looks like, Kris. But I'll do a little
research and try to learn. Maybe it can be replaced. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the help everybody, on both how to make the Mac forget the
imaginary monitor and how to troubleshoot the real but dead one.
I zapped the PRAM, and it fixed the problem. Now the Mac knows it only has
one monitor connected to it.
Alex first sent me the suggestion to zap the PRAM, and
Well at least you got the G5 sorted. IMHO, the monitor will need a recap. If
you don't have much experience soldering, I would ask a friend. If you can't
find capacitors with the same value, you can go up in voltage. Good luck!
