Hello,
My dual G5 won't boot now. Here's a synopsis of the problems:
1. usually hangs up at the white screen with the gray logo
2. sometimes hangs up there and then shuts down on its own
3. the tech had it working for 4 hours this morning & then it stopped
- he changed the pram battery since it's from June 2004 approx.
- he checked the connections
- he tested the hard drives with Disk Genius: passed all the tests
I'm currently removing RAM in case there's a bad RAM stick. He thought it was probably a bad mother board and time to be replaced with a new Intel Mac. Is there a way to troubleshoot a bad motherboard.
Other points: I had done the recent Apple updates and 1 of the 2 fans isn't working. He didn't think there was a safety that shut down the computer / boot process if it sensed a bad fan.
Appreciate any insight. Thanks.
Jason
