I have a general rule for all PMU related problems, remove the battery, unplug the power adapter (unplug the 9V adapter gizmo too), hit the power button then reconnect the power adapter and battery and hit the power button again. This should drain all power out of any caps and do a full reset of the PMU. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Vintage Macs group.
