When you press the Sys Test Button: see chart for colors. the indicator lights on the Logic Board between the Ram Risers. I apologize for propagating the regulator issue. I can't be sure that it's able to cause the intermittent failures that you're experiencing, but that's surely a possibility when something has been 'touched'. That's been evident in a couple of YouTube videos. There are 'fail-to-power-up' problems that can come from having improperly torqued the heatsink to the mainboard. No lids have to be removed for the 2010's at all. In the other I'll be exchanging a pair of 6-core 2.66Ghz for a pair of 3.33Ghz 6-core processors. In one machine I'll be exchanging a single-socket 4-core 2.8Ghz for a 2.9Ghz 6-core.

My research shows that series to have 'lidded' CPU processors in the whole model line. The single-socket procedure and the dual-socket procedure for the 2010 Mac Pros differ only in the amount of time involved. Although the heat sink overlaps the line of regulators near the CPU, the YouTube person I saw fiddling with the regulators didn't have to do any of that.Īfter watching three more YouTube videos on the procedure, that one outlier has proven to be a non-issue in the 20 models which is what I *assume* you have. I owe you some details, and an apology:ĭetail: The CPU heat sink is definitely held in place with four 3mm Allen-head bolts.

How hard is it to check this ? do I need to apply new paste ?I've been ordering parts to upgrade my two 2010 Mac Pros, so I've been studying the procedure to get it right the first time. si he is good to go and i have the Dead one to mess around with and try and get working in spare time. i gave my friend the old 3,1 8 core i had laying around as a backup as he had a Snow Leopard / Lion Drive and all his editing software. Thanks again FYI: i think the Heatsink Screws are TORX.

I have the Tech / Service Manual and am trying the troubleshooting using "Minimum Configuration" I can only get past step #1 because I need to go to the store to buy a long 3mm allen to remove the heatsink. The guys at Macrumors replied fast, thanks for showing me that site A few think its PSU. or the Option O-F (dident know about that) But then it would turn off in about 3 minn. I was able to reset the PRAM, Start up in Safe Mode. When it was starting a couple times a day.
I will keep thinking of things you can try while you are waiting for the MacRunor folks to reply. power light comes on and fans turns but that is about it. I have a dead macpro hear - older 1,1 model that i am trying to get to run for a friend. if you hear the 1st chime hold for 2-3 more. can you hear the computer chime when you startup. I tried each memory stick in slot 1 (only 1 stick installed at a time)ġ) hold option key when starting - does the Startup disk window come up ? if yes, how long does it stay up ?Ģ) hold shift key when starting - does computer startup in Safe Mode ?ģ) Apple Option P & R Keys. I re-seated the HDDs, Memory, Video card, CPU, PSU connector, and checked all the other connectors. Today it tried to start then clicked off instantly. today and yesterday it would only start one time after sitting overnight. A couple times it started up when I plugged in the power cord (I did not push the power button)Įvery day for the last 4 days it starts fewer times. and on start up 2 Red LEDs flash on the top left motherboard. Even with no mouse, keyboard or monitor plugged in it shut off after 3 min.
Then shuts off after about 3 minutes or less. I am able to open and navigate through the software. When it starts it boots perfect and performs fast and smooth. It will only start 1 or 2 times a day and will shut off on its own after about 3 minutes. shipping will cost about the same as a new machine. so shipping it back to the USA is not really an option. I am building my new studio in the Philippines. 2010 Apple Mac Pro 3.46GHz Xeon 6-Core Westmere
