Hi, to everyone
I bought this machine very cheaply in AS-IS condition.
A nice PowerMac G5 2.5Ghz Quad Late 2005
The machine doesnt boot or otherwise respond which are the
most parts that could have failed PSU or mainboard?
Thanks for a helping hand.

Aside from a bad motherboard or psu, does this system have a bad lcs? Have you
tried the cuda reset? Does it make any attempt to boot? Have you tried putting
less ram in or reseating the ram you have? I've noticed thru all of the years

Recently got a Power Mac G5 Quad Core 2.5, and the original Apple box
had received a hard knock in shipment. One end was punched in (6 inch
square area) , and even though the styrofoam inside was also broken in
somewhat, there appeared to be no damage to the pristine case.
Unfortunately
Tim,
I had a similar setup running on a Sawtooth, but it started crapping
out on me. I've got a couple Quicksilvers but I wonder if it's worth
stepping down to the lesser amount of RAM? Any thoughts? The Duet will
pop right into the Quicksilver and the RAM I've got is Crucial
PC133...

That's actually more common than you think. I have the official Apple

change a serial number to match the one on the case if you had to swap the

If you can go look at it in person, as opposed to buying blind over the
net, I'd look very carefully at the liquid cooling system, checking for
any evidence that coolant has started to leak, or run down inside the
case. Best option might be to pull processors and the power supply to

If the processors are constantly overheating, you should propably also take a
closer look at the processor unit with the liquid cooling part on it. It can
be various things that make the processor overheat: the liquid pump can be
broken. If this is the case, it will not transport the
Remember, these water-cooled G5's tend to corrode and leak if you
cycle them on-and-off daily. You seriously need to leave this Mac
running 24/7/365, or sell it now before it leaks, and it will leak
if you cycle the temperature daily by turning it off on again.
