Tom, I found the post regarding your computer. So its a G4 DA. You haven�t reset the cuda button yet? If not this should be your next step.
The cuda or PMU is located just above your battery on the MB on the edge of the board. Pull out the power cord from your computer first. The cuda or PMU button a little round silver button. Take the eraser end of a pencil and depress it. Wait 10 seconds and then restart your computer. I usually zap the pram at this point (at least chimes) and then you have to reset your system clock. If you PMU has crashed for all these days, it may have also drained your battery. The life of a new battery will go from 5 years to nothing if the PMU is not reset. So you may need to get a new battery or your computer may still have problems. Good luck Geno on 04/07/2005 10:34 AM, Geno at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Tom, what model of G4 is this?
