Hi,
My imac g5 has just died i think ;( Bought it 2 yrs. ago with a faulty PSU and worked fine after repairing it!
Status right now, all of a sudden:
- no chime anymore
- freezes with white screen
- seeing some artefacts at the place of the Apple logo.
When hitting the Imac a little bit, i see some pink artefacts. I tried to reflow the nVidia fx5200 ujyt322GPU, but still it isn't working.
Does anyone recognise this problem? All three leds lighten up, butt the fact i don't hear the chime is something i can't explain?
Question:
- Does a failing GPU makes the chime disappear?
- Is this the GPU that is failing?
(Today or tomorrow i'll swap the HDD and PSU from another Imac i have to be sure they're not the problem.
(No visible damages to the midboard capacitors. Heating them isn't the solution, so i guess they're not the problem.
