i recently bought a power mac g5, after a couple days the power supply died, only giving the dreaded 2 clicks as its sign of life. no worry, i thought, i'll just buy this used one on ebay! it turns up, i plug it in and i get two clicks once again. i get another one (sent for free as a...

i think i have but i’m not entirely sure, i’ll try soon

cpu is fine, fresh thermal paste too

I've got this PB G4, it boots just fine most times and tends to get to the desktop, seemingly fine, however after a few minutes it kernel panics, then sometimes shows an openfirmware error, displaying a memory issue. Apple Hardware Test reported no faults. I've tried without an external dimm to...

very true. i also don't drive, although i do get around a lot on my e-bike! unfortunately train tickets to get to london (the place where most listings are) are just too much to justify it. if i lived in the south it would be great, as i can see many macs in and around london which are listed...

I wish I had another compact mac!! I've been looking at SEs and SE/30s but in the uk it seems like there's hardly any available and they're all way too much...

Success! I finally figured out what was wrong with my Mac, and I've now recapped it again with smaller caps, now everything works! Except the hard drive :( it seems to have died while I was working on this project, but oh well, I have a PiSCSI board on the way so it won't be an issue for long...

I’m still stuck on the clicking, even after replacing part that fixed it for you but I’ve ordered caps anyway and i’m hoping it changes something

REALLY??? god that's frustrating. could you describe the symptoms again so I know what the problem was exactly? edit: and also what caps?

the clicking comes from the speaker, would that still be the same thing?

I replaced only the ones on recap-a-mac, and I currently have the originals back in because I thought the ESR might be an issue, because I know the caps worked before, just slowly

Just replaced them, no change

Will do. Ordering those now, will update when I've got them all in

i already tested the opto and it seems fine, should the diodes have continuity going one way and not the other? just need to check because i can't find any working ones

how would i go about testing these or do i just go ahead and replace them all?

Recapped this analog board because it took minutes to charge up the caps and to get to a working voltage, however since recapping I only get the issue described in the title. The same issue occurs with and without the logic board, and I’ve also recapped that too. Any ideas?
