| PMG4 Quicksilver DP 1ghz 512mb Won't Boo I recently acquired a dual processor 1ghz powermac g4 quicksilver with what seems to be 512mb ram, and an upgraded 200gb harddrive. I had to buy a new power cord from radio shack because it didn't come with one but when I turn it on, i see a glowing white light behind the power button that fades away almost immediately. I hear (and see when i pulled down the side cover) the fan moving, and a little red led light shines bright on the motherboard, but the harddrive does not spin up. I'm not sure if the optical drive turns on either. I tried messing with the jumper settings and switching the ide cables in the computer but nothing worked. I put the drive in an external enclosure and it mounted fine, so i have no doubts on the drive. i bought a new pram battery and im still not getting any results Let me know as i'd love to get working on it. also, i believe it has two graphics cards and one has an ADC connection - are those the ones that look like dvi but are oval shaped?  |
