Hi all!
I had my G5 Mac go to a black screen and does not want to come back to life. It was just sitting idle and the fan motor started racing loud for a while and the monitor went out.
I have checked the monitor and it is fine. The power supply seems to be fine. When I start the machine I get the startup tones and I can open and close the cd drawer the lights on the buttons light up, I can't tell if it is booting up completely though I think it is.
My thoughts are the video card is shot. Any suggestions before I call in the probably expensive guru's???
Thanks for all your help!
