If you check out this thread on the Apple Discussion area on apple.com, you'll understand why...
http://discussions.info.apple.com/[email protected]@.599a487d
It's likely the largest thread on Apple Discussions, and it's scary as hell. Four hundred and eleven posts!
I bought a G5 dual for one specific purpose... to create a digital audio workstation that relies on no outboard hardware. I've spent the last 2 months acquiring (buying) the necessary software tools, and have discarded all my old OS 9 music applications and old hardware analog equipment. BUT...
Although I haven't assembled all the tools to run on my G5, I HAVE heard an occasional chirping sound from my G5. It doesn't relay through to my Altec Lansing speakers through the G5's speaker out. But I'm concerned that it might when I hook up my midi/audio interface in the next week or so.
If anyone has experienced this power supply problem, please let me know if it was audible through the speaker output on the the back of your G5, and...
If the power supply replacement was done locally, or required a return shipment of your G5?
I know, I know, I'm putting the cart before the horse, but occasionally, I hear the same chirping sound that the Apple Discussion thread relates to. I'm bothered by that thread. I think mine might be one of those!
If my worry turns out to be nothing, I'll buy everyone a beer at the pub most geographically convenient to all ehMac citizens. Organizing such an event falls to someone else though. =)
