Jun 18, Hi, the red led coming on for half second, the power light coming on, Jun 19, 5: Jun 20, Jun 20, 1: Jun 1, 8: I had the exact same problem, the lights, the clicks and everything.
It turned out to be one of my harddisks, i removed one and it just booted. Oct 25, I noticed my Power Mac G5 dual core 2. Now it won't power up. No light, clicks or any other signs of life.
Power Mac G5 won't turn on
Tried all the tricks, battery, reset button, etc and nothing worked. I would be simply giving up on the beast and upgrading to a new box, rather than a costly repair, however get this, the same machine did the exact same thing about a year ago. I gave up on it then too after trying to similarly fix, but about a month later I was moving my computer station and decided to plug it in, I pushed power and presto, it started right up.
It has been running fine without any problem at all, for about a year, that is until this morning when I noticed it had again shut itself down and would not start up. I am hoping the information about it starting after a long rest will give someone a idea as to what may be causing this to happen again.

Out of furstration I press the apple monitor power and I hear the chime. But no light on the LED near the power switch and it won't switch on if I try the front power button. Can you guys help?

When I press the power button from my screen I hear the chime and then it shows a folder with a question mark. But the power on the box does nothing and it is connected to the board properly and tight. I am really getting nervous now.
DeltaMac Tech Apr 5, Just so I understand - your PowerMac G5 will not turn on when you press the front panel power button. Is that correct? But, it will turn on when you press the power button on your Apple display Is that also correct?

And, you also say that when the PowerMac does turn on, you still don't see any light near that front panel power button. And, is that also correct?

Does that front panel light ever come on, or start flashing? If yes, does your PowerMac boot and run OK now, except for the power button?

If you CAN boot to your installer after getting power through the display power, then you should be able to install OS X. Last question - What did you mean by the 'board switch? That can't work - your G5 is too new for that.
