ok, my dual 2.5ghz G5 just shut off.
Like a power outage but nothing else shut off.
It will not turn on. Let it sit for a minute. no joy.
Any ideas? Some kinda fuse reset? Power supply?
When you press the power button does anything happen? One prof here had his
suddenly shut down, then it would light briefly when the power button was
pressed, then go off. Seemed like a bad PS or logic board to me, and I told
him to take it over to the bookstore (our bookstore is a warrantee apple depot)
and have 'em check it out.
It worked perfectly well there, only to do the same thing when he brought it
back.
Turned out it was a bad power supply in his 22 Cinema Display. He went through
two of them before he convinced Apple to give him the power supply for a 30
cinema (which is physically larger as well as more amperage). It's worked fine
ever since.
Also is the power cable pressed all the way in? I've fixed several 'dead'
computers or monitors that way, much to the chagrin of their owners :-)
