Powermac G5 won't start

29 Jun 2012

...
   I have,
however, heard a lot of sorry tales of PowerMac G5s suffering
 all manner of weird problems with PSUs, leaking liquid coolers and
 more. It's worth thoroughly checking the whole system over before
 proceeding.  
 My Rev.0 Dual 2Ghz PowerMac G5 had more problems than even my DEC PWS 433au. 
Those generation of G5s weren't too flash, and the liquid cooled ones were
worse.

Apple worked out most of these bugs by the time the quad G5 came out, which
is the one I own and has been rendering sterling service for close to seven
years. But like every G5, it's hot and power hungry.

G5 systems have a notorious reputation and I can't say it's undeserved.
