Title:

2.0GHz DC won't start up... no response at all.

Text:

Hi -
So I've been trying to be "green" in the recent year, and needed an extra desktop. Picked up a 2.0GHz Dual Core (2005) and was told it booted to "?"
No such luck... got it home and it doesn't even light up the front switch (ie, no light, no sounds, nothing).
Problem Hierarchy (things to inspect in this order?)
- PRAM/SMU Battery
- Front bus switch
- Power Supply
- Logic Board
Is this correct? It's been awhile since I've worked on this model. Thanks
Jason
PS - I referenced this post, but want more info. Thanks!
