Most likely the other components were capacitors. Readily available. Uses
lead free solder. But have a high degree of difficulty. It does give me
high hope of fixing two logic boards and two power supplies I've been
pondering over.
Nope, the other component was diode.My friend found that

Power Mac G5: how to repair
Give it to a friend who knows a lot about electronics and hope he can fix it!
I just wanted to report back: he fixed it!
A fuse was blown, possible due to a peek of overvoltage. Anyway, he used his
very expensive multimeter and found out what was wrong, ordered the parts,
replaced them,
Thanks for your update, I too have a PM G5 and did not know they have any
fuses, I'm sure going to find it in cae I have the same problem some day.

The MDDs PSU have fuses in as well. Replacing the fuse sometimes
works but usually points to something else amiss like capacitors as
Deaner says.
One caveat though if you are going to attempt to fix these
yourselves is to take care inside

I figured the PSU must have died, most likely due to a blown condensator

I've uploaded some pictures of my PSU and logicboard.

Maybe a local Apple dealer/repair center can diagnose the problem for free or a
reasonable fee? An acquitance had a problem with his old PowerMac G4 Gigabit

I'll try that. Thanks for the idea. I have a local certified apple repair
company (or whatever it is called) only a few drive minutes away.
I only fear they will want (too much) money for the diagnosis.
Well, call them about charges before moving your 25kg behemoth :-)
At least in Spain,

You mentioned you had a repair shop near you. One of the things you
might ask them about is how much it would cost just to test your power
supply. (I suppose you should be ready with some model info so they
know which power supply you are using?)
For the ATX power supplies used in a PC (and I'm

PSUs generally use low-ESR capacitors which are designed specifically
for switching PSUs.
Also, these are usually 105ºC and not the usual 80ºC.
