iMac G5 20" with iSight
Hey everyone I picked up a used 20" imac g5 with isight and when I got it it was working fine and then the next day when I start it up all I get is 3 beeps and 3 blinking lights
meaning somethings up with the ram but without having a extra stick that will work with it I cannot test it, but I was wondering if bad caps might cause this I havent taken it apart yet to find out due to it having a 2 week warranty from the dealer I got it from, I hope to hear some advice soon |

Re: iMac G5 20" with iSight
they're prone to have bad caps and failed PSU's....sometimes both. Crack it open and have a look inside.

If you have a 2 week warranty, surely you're better off sending it back!
