I hate to say it, but this sounds suspiciously like the power supply. Some marginal caps may wake up if you leave them plugged in for a couple days. Unfortunately, the eMac power supply is (IIRC) integrated with the display and analogue assembly, so unless you are able to do a component level repair, you may be looking at finding a new machine. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * [email protected] -- armadillo, n. the act of providing weapons to a Spanish pickle. ------------ -- -- 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.
