So, I'd been working with an after-market battery, by Anker, which was reviewed highly on Amazon. Overtime if the computer...

Had a coffee spill on the laptop (with a kbcover over the keyboard) over a month ago. While grounded cleaned the corrosion...

Hi Folks, I've found some great questions and comments on iFixit, and commented there myself, but was recommended by Mayer...

Ok. Found the solution: I looked back through the iFixit guide to check on the functions of each of the connectors removed and replaced in the process. Coming across the keyboard ribbon cable, I recalled it was resistant to going all the way in, and though it seemed secure it was a fraction of a millimeter from being fully in in comparision to the image on the iFixit guide (MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Mid 2010 Heat Sink Replacement). I'd hoped this might relate to the power button, so, with the ribbon cable now in farther, and with the hard drive out, I pressed the power button (the first time I was disappointed and then realized the batter power cable wasn't plugged into the Mobo/Lobo). After the cable was back in place, I pressed the power button and the status light started to blink. The unit booted and brought me to a screen with a folder with a question mark (no doubt due to the fact that no hard drive was present). Thanks, Dan, for your response and helping me to get there. Whereas it didn't provide my...

I seem to be having the same problem as you had, Colleen. Did you have any success with the project or did you just scrap the unit for parts?

Hey guys, I had a problem that sounds similar that I just solved a few minutes ago, thanks to the amazing resource that iFixit is which led me on the right track after looking at numerous questions & answers. My machine would power on, but no signal would be sent to the monitor. The fans would run, and would in fact get louder the longer I left the computer on, forcing me to ultimately have to force the G5 to shut down. I removed the memory and the video card, but didn't get a beep or any flashing from the power LED that people said I should get. I've been thinking that my power supply was faulty (given the fact that it is common among G5's), and have been reluctant to foot the $200+ bill for a new PSU. BTW, from my searches, it seems this site has the best prices (http://www.mac-pro.com/Replacement-Power-Supply-for-PowerMac-G5-600W-661-3234)(go here to figure out your exact model by serial number: http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/ap...). Still, $200 bucks isn't really feasible for me. So, I'd read...
