Hi All, this is my first post here though I’ve often arrived here when searching for troubleshooting answers.
I have a Mac Pro 2008 (3,1) that I bought new for research originally. It lived it’s life doing day to day tasks while running simulations that took sometimes days in the background. It was amazing. Alas it eventually began having issues and then refused to boot. I ultimately after various efforts replaced the power supply and that helped though it now went from only trickle power diagnostic led on to trickle, power good leds and briefly lighting the gpu and efi done then both turn off and the fans spin up on the computer and GPU.
I’ve been troubleshooting it and that’s probably another lengthy post to make. But I got curious if anyone has made. List of the front panel LED and power button functions and visual indications (blinks, blink speed, number of times etc). I tried re-loading the firmware with the apple firmware restoration disk 1.5 (which should be correct for this machine) and didn’t get past holding the power button as it blinks rapidly but does not then do slow blinks or open the dvd tray it just stops blinking and goes solid.
