Diagnostic LEDs

7.

Locate the large white arrow in the middle of the board. Above this arrow, you'll see

four LEDs (explained below).

LED 1 indicates that the trickle voltage from the power supply has been detected

by the main logic board. This LED will remain ON whenever the iMac G5 is

connected to a working AC power source. The LED will remain on even when the

computer has been shut down or put to sleep. The LED will turn off only if the AC

power source is disconnected or the power supply is faulty.

LED 2 indicates that the main logic board has detected proper power from the

power supply when the computer is turned on. This LED will be ON when the

computer is turned on and the power supply is working correctly.

LED 3 indicates that the computer and the LCD display are communicating. This

LED will be ON when the computer is turned on and video signal is being

generated.

LED 4 lights only if the computer detects an over-temperature condition. This LED

will be OFF when the computer is turned on and running at the correct

temperature.
