Chosen Solution
I have a 2012 Mac Pro that was working fine two days ago, it randomly shut off on me and when I tried booting it back up it did nothing, I waited a few hours with it unplugged and it turned back on, but then shut off halfway through bootup. im wondering what type of a issue this could be I noticed the diagnostic lights but there not much help the amber light for power comes on when I press the button, and the two red lights blink when I plug the cord in. any help is greatly appreciated! side note I have a bunch of first gen Mac pros and a g5 for parts but a lot of the stuff seems different and incompatible
On this model series the first thing that fails is the video card, next the power supply. UPDATE Here’s how to install the power supply: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yzXJq1L… Here’s a part but at this price I would shop around and see if you can find a new one: https://store.appledollars.com/collectio…
