Re: G5 Repair - Next step?
I want to confirm that you switched CPUs (A in B slot and B in A slot) and that they were both seated properly when you turned the computer on. If CPU A is bad and CPU B is good putting CPU B in the A spot and CPU A in the B spot should allow the computer to boot. Both CPUs (even if one is bad) need to be installed for the computer to work. When I was fixing my problem I had both issues (unseated and only one installed). One of the earlier G5s was able to run with only one CPU installed in a 2 CPU system so you could try that, but I think it was an earlier model to yours. Have you replaced the battery? That can be the cause of various issues. I do not know of any motherboard checks except for visual inspection of bad capacitors. If the computer is making sounds and the fans eventually go into wind tunnel mode I would think the power supply is probably okay. The chance that BOTH processors went bad at the same time seems slim. So, I would guess logic board. I fixed mine on a whim just to see if it was possible before getting rid of it. These computers are so cheap now that it is almost not worth the time/effort to repair them. This is the storehttp://www.electronicscafe.com/ I purchased my parts from. They also sell on ebay. They have a motherboard that might work for about $17 and a pair of cpus for $25. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: G5 Repair - Next step?
I just checked my G5. It needs a Torx T10 to loosen the allen-wrench type screws. I'm pretty sure there is no need to touch any of the other screws. It only takes a little effort to pull out the CPU once the bolts are loosened. If it ends up being a CPU problem I can advise further. Good luck, and watch out for the cooling fins! -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

screen saver photos
I have a folder of pictures that cycle through the screensaver slideshow thing. Why do some of them still show up sideways (which is indeed the way they were shot)?

Re: screen saver photos
Are they all jpegs or are some of them PDF's? I ran into this kind of thing a while back, and as I recall it was something to do with the PDF format...try saving one of the rotated images as a new file and see if it still displays un-rotated.

Could also be that GraphicConverter isn't saving the EXIF data properly.

No, there are better PCI video cards, but they all cost a lot more, and this old Beige isn't worth spending a lot of money on. If it's max'd out with 768 MB RAM it can run 10.4.11 OK, and if you get a G4 ZIF CPU you can probably get up to 10.5.8, but this would be a hassle. I'd just get a cheap PC Radeon 7000 and flash it to Mac. Only get a PC Radeon card IF you have a PC or bootable Mac with alternate video so that you can flash the Radeon ROM (BIOS in PC speak) to Mac. This might be too complicated for you, I can help, and it doesn't take too long if you know what you're doing, but it's a hassle.
