I recently acquired a Giga Designs 1.8GHz G4 upgrade for my Quicksilver '02. I am having some issues getting it working and need some advice.
I have installed the firmware update (3.01) and shut down from inside the updater application, installed the new CPU, and booted while holding the programmer's button. I held it for approximately 3-4 minutes and did not get a tone or a boot chime for that matter. I let it sit for a while powered on and never got anything more.
At first I would get a steady power light but after unplugging and attempting boot, I get fans and everything turning on but no power light unless I hold it, and no video.
I've tried a PMU reset to no avail. PRAM battery is old but tests good at 3.6v.
Reinstalling the original CPU results in a working machine.
Any ideas?
