z3r01 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 A friend is giving me a iMac G5 (white one) but he took the HDD, now here'sy question. When I plug it on , amd press the power button , it doesn't turn on, no lights nothing. When I open it up , there is lights on the motherboard on a number one( has for numbered led's) is this normal for Darwin not to load or even the mac not to turn on because it has no HDD? Or is there something else ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouCioccio Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2173 See if that helps. Also check the on board PRAM (CMOS) battery. If over 3 to 5 years change it. It supposed to be 3.6 volts if low unit will not turn on. for parts check this site: http://www.dvwarehouse.com/ Ciao, Lou Cioccio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
