Topic: quicksilver 933 fried by power loss James Morgan <[email protected]> May 13 10:32AM -0400 ^ Don't do anything drastic to your quicksilver yet. I have two MDD G4's and both of them are cranky when it comes to starting up. One of them shows the same symptoms you describe (push the button, a light shows, flickers and dies) anytime it has been improperly disconnected from the power source. But if I give it some time and keep trying, it starts up again. And after that, if it is shut down properly, it will start properly. So, as a start, try this. Wait a few hours. Push the button. Wait some more. Push the button. Eventually it will start. Mine does.
You see! The QS 933 has a soul! No wonder I keep mine going and work it every day. That latest Macbook on the desk over there ------> cries in vain to be used and is waiting for the day my G4 dies, but what can I do? I cannot abandon this sprightly old thing. One day, of course, the sad day will come when it abandons me for that big place in the sky...
