lord_muad_dib Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 erm.. trying it with another PSU maybe? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/131327-test-a-dead-mac-pro/#findComment-931038 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hecker Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 You might want to take a good look at the mainboard to see if you come across any bloated capacitors (you know, the little trash cans), especially around the CPU area. Those usually tend to break or explode when they get too hot or become aged.

ultimeus Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 all the caps are ok, i want to test it for sell it to be sure it's working but I suppose without an other powersupply i can't.
