Hi list,
I have an iMac G5 (20" screen, 2.0GHZ) that is having some sort of
serious issue. This has been a family owned machine since it was
bought brand new in Jan 2006. It's on it's THIRD logic board and
THIRD power supply, and I fear may soon be on its fourth unless I can
fix it.
The problem started as hard disk data corrupting, and eventually a
total system freeze. After rebooting, the iMac would no longer see
the hard drive. I ran Apple Hardware Test (the extended test) which
found zero problems. I rebooted with the OS X installer disc and ran
Disk Utility, and the hard disk wasn't even listed (only the DVD disc
& drive).
Naturally, I figured my hard drive had finally given up the ghost. So
I bought a brand new 250GB SATA drive from a local Mac store. Lo and
behold, the brand new disk does not show up in Disk Utility either.
So..... It seems I have some sort of logic board problem, although
this is drastically different behavior than what happened in the past
when the logic board went down. Has anyone heard of this, or is it
likely just another variation of the G5 motherboard syndrome?
TIA,
Nat
