So I've got two 2004 Imac G5's that I've replaced the bad caps on, but they both still don't work. I bought the kit on here for one of them and the other one I ordered all Nichicon caps from digikey for. Whenever I try to turn either of them on nothing happens, I get LED 1 but nothing else.
Unfortunately I only have one PSU between the two so that possibly could be it but the caps look ok and I figured the second LED would flash if it was a PSU problem. But just in case I'm going to look up the pin-out and try and test it, maybe even make an ATX adapter so I can use a power supply that I know works.
But I was wondering if there could be any other problems? If maybe the video card on it had died and that's why it wouldn't turn on? Maybe a reflow for the GPU would fix it? Thoughts?
