G5 isight imac died
Well it finally happened to me. Yesterday I was running firefox when the page just got stuck. No mouse movement no keyboard input. I turned off with the power button let it rest a minute or two then turned it back on. All that happens is the ambient light sensor lamp glows and then the fans run at high speed. I tried a PMU reset and also removed the ram I added but to no avail. I connected a firewire startup disc but the machine doesn't even give a startup chime so no luck there. I tried starting in target disc mode connected to this G4 laptop nothing doing there either. iMac is running fully updated Tiger its the last of the G5 imacs 2.1ghz. Anyone have any ideas please.

Those are notorious for having bad capacitors, from what I've heard here on the LEM lists. -Elliott Price Mac Computer Repair - Santa Barbara Graphic Design - Artwork Setup Websites - Low Cost Custom Websites On Dec 11, 2009, at 2:20 PM, john hobbs wrote: Well it finally happened to me.
