I needed to hook up an Agfa SCSI Duoscan to scan negatives, and it would not be seen by the SCSI card in a G4 Quicksilver, so I dug a beige G3 266 desktop out of the closet. As I was trying different PCI cards, it started to not respond to the power button. There were the correct power supply and VRM on eBay from my own city, so I got and installed them. G3 still would not boot from power button, but it would from keyboard. I removed the power button and swapped it for one from a G3 MT parts machine, and still no boot from the button. However, now the machine when shut down immediately reboots, whether with no button, original button or the MT button. I have to turn off the power strip to shut down, and it boots as soon as power strip is turned on. Thoughts? Did I fry a circuit on the motherboard?
