Fan issue on Powermac g3 400mh, 640 ram
This computer works great, except for other than a power-off, BOTH the fans (internal and power supply) will not shut down. I have reset PRAM, NVRAM, current firmware, etc. Also reset CUDA. Any chance that the PRAM battery might be causing this? Any other suggestions?

Re: Fan issue on Powermac g3 400mh, 640 ram
Thank you to all! That makes me feel a lot better. I guess I'll just try to monitor in case of a fan failure. I really like this old Mac. It always makes me smile when I open the case and see the amazing interior. Giving it to my elderly parents and will try to teach them how to do email. I have set up a very simplified desktop for them with only a mail client (Thunderbird), iPhoto and Safari.
