When I press the power switch on one of my mirror door G4's the
light comes on, fades away, and no start. Fiddle with it for a while
and keep pressing the power button, eventually it starts. I leave it
running and then, after a day or two, it quits by itself.
Anyone have
noticed no light so that was telling me there was a problem with
the power cord!!! Most of the laptops don't have this light so
there is no way to see this... CoolKat

When I press the power switch on one of my mirror door
Is it a good idea to leave my mirror door G4's running all the time?
Or is it better to shut them down at night? I''ve been shutting them
down at night for seven years. Guess I should have asked this
question sooner.

Excite upgraded their servers and now I can't edit my old websites
there with my G4's running OS 10.4. It looks like I will need to buy
a new G5 with OS 10.5 so I can use internet explorer to edit those
old websites. Do you know if I can run internet explorer on my
mirror door
Hey, that worked! I can edit my websites having Safari tell websites
it is internet explorer. What a fine trick. Many thanks!

My MDD G4 appears to have a bad startup switch (the button I push on
front to start it). Does anyone know if it is possible to take this
switch out and put in a new one? It appears to be fastened in there
with pop rivits or some other non-removable attachment.

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
I have been using my MDD G4 (not that far removed from the
quicksilver) for months now with a startup button that sometimes
flickers, dies and does not start (a problem that began after I
accidently disconnected the power while it was running). But given a
rest for a few hours it starts

On my MDD G4's one of the early symptoms of the failing power supply
was that the computer would just unexpectedly shut down.

I have two 1.25 GHz MDD G4's, bought them new, and have used them
heavily for graphics work from the start. I vote for them as the most
reliable G4, but with one caveat. The air intake grill is set up
under the front foot and it is possible to not know it is there or to
forget to keep it
My Powermac 2.5 Quad recently shut itself down while I was using it.
I was alarmed until I looked at my APC Back-UPS XS 1000 (a relatively

My G5 just shuts down and restarts itself. And often freezes up.
Does this sound like a faulty power supply to you folks?

Thanks for the suggestion. I also used Tech Tool Pro a few years ago when I

I've been much frustrated by Apple's dropping my .mac account and the
subsequent hassles of using online icloud mail with OS 10.4. So I was
