Hi everyone. My G5/10.4.10/2GbRAM/1.8GHz will not go past the grey

HI Jon ,
The G5 Macs sometimes have liquid cooling in them which leaks and
destroys the mother board ... OUCH !
As far as I know the 1.6Ghz and most of the 1.8GHz are OK , but if
you have a Dual 1.8GHz you could be in trouble .
There is a lot of info here about the coolant leak problem :

Just in case it's a software problem you could try to start up from
your Tiger Installer disk .
And of course if you drop the side of the case and look at the CPU
you might see something.
There is a lever at the back you need to lift up for the case side to
open down.
Good Luck
Bob
I have an older version of Disk Warrior that I think works with the
G5, but there again, the CD drawer will no open either.
Tried PRam startups to no avail. Any ideas what this may mean? is
it logic/mother board or a similar sinister event? the machine is
about 3.5 years old.
Kind regards
Jon
