no startup chime (or strange sound) means hardware failure......ram
cards, power supply, pram battery does not stop the mac, you just have
the wrong time, & some settings are on default.....
you may unplug & replug the ram cards, power supply, harddisk

Good evening All,
My G5 PPC 1.8 dual will not start properly. There are no start up
chime, the screen remains black and the small start 'on' light, on the
tower and on the flat screen, flashes 3 times with a break and 3 times
again ad infinitum.
I have tried restarting it many times, with Command+ Option+P+R also
with the same problem.
Has someone got a solution that can help, or is this possibly a
hardware failure? The RAM battery has not shown the usual sign of
weakening, but I have not changed it yet.
Any advice will be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
