Re: PowerMac G5 not waking from sleep?
FIXED. I did start to think it was time to ditch this PowerMac thinking the power supply was gone as the price of a new power supply is not worth it for such a old machine, but I thought I would try messing with the RAM again so I unplugged it removed the newest sticks of RAM and booted it up and its been fine ever since sleep works as it should. Also the RAM is still in warranty so I can return it. Fingers crossed all them failed boots didn't do any damage to the power supply.

The G5 PowerMacs are real touchy on the seating of the RAM. Be sure all the sticks report in the Profiler. I've had to reseat a number of times to get all sticks running.

Re: PowerMac G5 not waking from sleep?
It is a Late 2005 Dual 2.3 G5 with 4.5GB ram. No Extra cards By cuts out I mean it goes to sleep fine but soon as I hit a key to wake it up the red light comes on for a second then there is a click and the whole thing loses power, the fans don't even start spinning. After the failed attempt of waking the Mac when I try to boot I get a White and red light then click and off again no fans, so I unplug it for about 3 minutes plug back in and it boots normally.

Have you reset the SMU? The SMU is the System Management Unit that replaces the PMU (Power Management Unit) of older Macs. This controls the power during sleep, and if it gets corrupted you can have problems like this. Here's instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1436?viewlocale=en_USlocale=en_US If that doesn't fix it, you're probably unlucky and the power supply dying. My dual 2.3 had a power supply blow in the first week of usage. It was a new-old-stock computer, and I started using it 2 years after the date of manufacture. There was a problem with the power supplies in many G5's, and there was an extended warranty program that expired in 2010, so you're too late for a free replacement now. Apple did give me a free replacement which would have cost nearly $1,000 total. There was a guy on LEM-Swap selling three power supplies for a REALLY good price last week, but I'm guessing they're all gone now? http://groups.google.com/group/lemswap/browse_thread/thread/c733ebfe5d50ddae?hl=en -- 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.

A professor here had similar problems, it turned out to be a failing power brick for his 23 Apple display, which had pass-through FW and USB. Kind of annoying we dragged the beast all the way across campus (our bookstore is an official Apple repair depot) only to have it start perfectly when it got there. Then fail again, the moment I set it up back in his office...:-/ He ended up going through two more power supplies until he made Apple give him one for the 30 display, which has a much higher wattage, no problems since.

PowerMac G5 not waking from sleep?

This all started when I removed the CD drives IDE cable when the Mac was switched on. Knowing the configuration, ie model, OS, etc… will allow list members to give informed advice rather than wild guesses. At this point my best guess would be to reset the pram/nvram. My iMac's display would not wake from sleep when I first got it, turned out to be bad ROM (?) flashed to the logic board. Given how old the G5s are I doubt that is your issue unless someone has recently monkeyed with it.
