checked the power supply. both 12v outputs read 11.56.
since this is a hand-me-down from someone who already replaced their
computer, i don't think i'll spend any more time on it. just hate to
see it go to a landfill. can't in good conscience part it out since i
don't know what's wrong with it.

If none are popped, I don't think it's likely the problem.
I'd look for something else. It sounds a lot like a bad power supply,

Well, I don't know about that. At first, I bought the idea that a capacitor
could be bad even if it didn't exhibit any signs of failure, i.e. leak
Thanks for the link, and the cautions on resoldering.
None of the caps are visibly damaged, but I know that doesn't mean

i have no use for this when/if i fix it; i gave a 20" imac G5 that we
were no longer using to my sister for her kids.
however, i hate to put this in a landfill!
as an academic exercise, i may spring for the capacitor kit and give
it a try.

I found a message in a badcap.net thread that suggested changing the
CMOS battery. Did so, and now a new set of symptoms.
Pilot light comes on, fan at normal (low) speed, but no startup chime
and no boot. Screen is black. Tried booting with install disk but
SuperDrive doesn't swallow the disk. T

bruce--i should have thanked you for the link. i found my way to
badcaps.net, a very interesting site.
i removed the power supply, and tested the outputs. i got 11.56v on
both "12v" outputs. that leads me to believe the problem is with the
caps on the logic board, which there is a kit for on th

Roughly in the center bottom of the logic board are several groups of caps
(1000uF, 16V IIRC), about 10-12 caps in a group. I think there ar

as for the power supply board--did you replace the large caps, or just
the smaller ones?
i know that any of them can be bad, but desoldering and resoldering
the larger ones are probably beyond
