Nope. This is a power supply issue, and seems to be pretty common with Quicksilvers. A new replacement ps is about $230 or so, we replaced on in a professors system not too long ago. You could try to find another QS or later Mac and drop your hdd into it; more than likely your drive (and the rest of the system) is just fine, or look for a replacement PS on fleabay or such. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
