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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/180169-imac-g5-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/180169-imac-g5-question/#findComment-1227644 Share on other sites More sharing options...
