Hi, to everyone

I bought this machine very cheaply in AS-IS condition.
A nice PowerMac G5 2.5Ghz Quad Late 2005

The machine doesnt boot or otherwise respond which are the

most parts that could have failed PSU or mainboard?

Thanks for a helping hand.

Do any LEDs light in the front? If yes, which ones? If not, PSU is my
first suspect.

Aside from a bad motherboard or psu, does this system have a bad lcs? Have you tried the cuda reset? Does it make any attempt to boot? Have you tried putting less ram in or reseating the ram you have? I've noticed thru all of the years and different power macs I've owned, that, reseating of ram, has saved more of my systems, that I've received it have all of a sudden went quiet......
