Greetings all, An attempt to repair what was once an excellently running G5 did not achieve the results hoped for, so I will be parting out this unit. The issue began as what was suspected to be a failed video card (this did not prove to be the case), with the final suspect being the logic board (failed ROM chip?). An acquired working logic board, as near to OEM as possible, was I suspect not near enough (I'm guessing there's no such thing as mix and match in the G5 world). Not interested in continuing with this unit so up it goes on the selling block for good parts.
The unit is/was a June 2004 dual 1.8 GHz unit. The CPUs and heat sink, are, i believe, to be fine, as is the power supply, super drive (pioneer 116 iirc), 3 Gb RAM, stock NVidia 5200 video card, etc. Case is excellent, as is all internal components, with a few scuffs, but no dents or bent handles. Before I part it out, I would like to try a wholesale carcass disbursement first, in hopes of making short work of this project to reduce my time invested. I will send this to anyone in the con U.S. (maybe Canada too-talk me into it!) for $45 plus actual shipping cost. I'll remove the defective motherboard (or leave it in if you wish) for you. You'll get the CPUs (as is condition, which should be ok) and heat sink, power supply, the whole case, the optical drive, the 3 GIG RAM, video card, the OEM 80 GB SATA HD, shipped in the OEM box. Shipping will be from Upland, IN 46989-1001. If I don't get any takers in the near future, I will proceed with parting out and sell the components for CHEAP priced-to-go costs! Thank you for reading.
