Sounds like your "repair shop" doesn't know WTF they're doing. And yes, they DID change out your logic board if you have a "new serial number." That's what happens...the machine takes on the serial number of the new logic board. Having gone through 2 (two) logic board replacements on my previous G5 1.8GHz DP (Rev. A-8 DIMM slots), I know that it's a very involved process. The entire insides of the machine has to be torn apart and put back together to accomplish the task.
If you're not happy with the work the "repair shop" did to your Mac, do you have another option? Is there another Apple Authorized Service Provider you can go to? I'd be very reluctant to return your machine to the same place that screwed up the job the 1st time, if I were you. If you have to, send the machine to an Apple Service Provider in Honolulu if there isn't another one on Maui? It would be better to do that than take another chance on the place that's apparently damaged your Mac (possibly), or simply not completed the work that is necessary to get it back to 100%.
Whatever you do, don't try to operate your G5 now. You may damage it further by running it with the problem(s) it's having now, which are aparently unresolved issues from having it repaired by morons. Call Apple and get to a Level 2 Tech Support person, explain what's happened, and see if they can offer you an alternative to having it repaired where you did the 1st time.
Rudie, I guess you missed it, but my G5 had its 4th major component failure the week of Feb. 12, 2006, and Apple Customer Relations replaced it with a new G5 Dual Core 2.3Ghz PowerMac...

I hope you can get yours repaired successfully. First thing you need to do though is find an Apple Service Provider that knows what they're doing. Good luck, and I hope everything else is going well for you.
