Hey all.

I am having trouble with my quicksilver, tried to upgrade the memory and it didnt show up so i took out the sticks. Replaced them with the original ones and now no boot. When I hit the power button, it lights up, the main system fan spins for a second then shuts off. I am guessing i either killed the logic board, or its the PSU. I tried resetting the PMU, battery and none worked. You guys think buying a new power supply could solve it?

When mine behaved exactly that way it turned out that the CPU card failed.

ugghhh, thats what I was afraid of. This is a friends computer, I was using it and it was really slow, so I told him to buy more memory for it, and I guess he went out and bought a new stick but put the memory in backwards and it must have fried the logic board or something. I feel really bad, we took it to the apple store today, and the genius said its either a dead logic board or cpu card. The prices for replacement logic boards are outrageous, is there anything else I can do?

Oh geesh you can get a Mac Mini for what those things are going for.

Press that little (PMU or CUDA?) button near the battery . . . .

Some QS's were quite flaky in this respect.

Check on eBay for replacement parts.

I have gone through similar worries.

You may wish to try to go into Open Firmware and do the normal reset all.

(CMD-Option O and F keys...tye reset-nvram, hit return, then type reset-all, hit return)
