    Somebody gives to me a broken PowerMac G5 2.7Ghz

    Pushing power button does anything. No fans, no lights, there's no life signal.
    There's no marks of water in the case or motherboard.
    I think Water cooling system should be ok.

    So, I think about a PowerSupply defect.

    I have another Power G5, but only 2.0Ghz. This Mac is brocken for other reasons.

    and I'm thinking trying to plug the PowerSupply of PM 2.0 on PM 2,7.

    Do you think they are compatible?

    Thanks

    Serge.

    It should work fine. I had to do this on mine after the cooling system killed itself and I thought it was the power supply at first.

    I believe the PSU on a 2.0ghz is much smaller in wattage than what the 2.7ghz has. Will it work if you swap it? No idea, give it a try. 8-)

    sad :
    Power Mac G5 2.0GHz G5 uses a 450w
    Power Mac G5 2.7GHz G5 uses a 600w

    so, no compatibility :-(
