Hey Everyone,
I was given a PowerMac G3 Server, and it was working, then it just stopped. This is totally my fault and I've been kicking myself. When I was given it, I was told the battery was removed, so I took it, put it on my desk and it powered up just fine, about a hour later it no longer powered on. Weird, I opened it up and saw not only a battery was inside with its brown ooze crusted all over, but the insides were now wet with a clear liquid. I took the board out and cleaned it very well and soaked it in rubbing alcohol. I let it dry for days, and now it powers up again. However, it no longer has a startup tone or video. I just get the power LED and the fans spinning. I'm working with Luke over at Console5 to make a cap kit for this machine (incase the caps are the issue) but underneath the battery are 2 components, what looks like a resistor and a capacitor and I have no idea of their values. C241 and R151. Would anyone happen to know what I can replace these with? The board is numbered 820-0991-B
Thanks Everyone!
