Hi all, Looks like I have a problem with one of my 'teeth.
It wasn't powering up properly - would start to come on then die before any drives came up - and in the process of looking for the problem (suspected power supply) I found that three pins on the P1 power connector are blackened. All are +5 volt (pins 6, 19, and 20) according to <http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/ATX_G4_AGP_conversion/G4_AGP_to_ATX_case_pg2.htm>. Which is the more likely culprit, the power supply or the motherboard? I don't want to risk blowing my spare power supply, or the dual 1gig processor on the board for that matter, by cooking something further. I see no other obvious signs of trouble. No charred parts or places where smoke has escaped. Obviously I need to dig around and find my meter (I think I hid it from my 7 year old last time I put it away and now don't remember where) to see if the existing ps is still functional. And i'll probably swap the processor for an old 450 single and put the 1gig in a different sawtooth to test it. Any other suggestions on how to proceed?
