i have an old mdd running tiger, and every once in a while if i put it to sleep overnight, then come back, it has actually powered itself back on, and sometimes i find that it has shut itself off when i come back in the morning.
when it does this i have a hard time getting it to power back on again and i usually have to disconnect the ac power, then press and hold the power on button for a second, then plug the ac cord back in and it would power on again when i pressed the button. yesterday i couldn't get it to power back on and i unplugged the ac and hit the pmu button for a few seconds then plugged everything back in and it came on again. last night i actually powered it down, and today it will no power back on no matter what i try. when i push the power button on it briefly lights up then goes out. if i do it a few times in a row the light will stop coming on, unless i leave it alone for several seconds. is my power supply dead or is there some other problem? thanks rb -- 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.
