Barry, try a few things on the tower: reset the logic board by removing the battery for ten minutes. If you have a meter, test for 3.5 volts. Tigerdirect probably has a replacement. There is a fuse inside the power supply case, but you have to pull it out to access the fuse.

A friend of mine has had a bad week. The wire to the 65 watt power charger for her powerbook G4 fried despite my previous patch/gluing with liquid electrical tape. When she turned to the G4 AGP Powermac (tower) to allow her to continue doing her stuff, it wouldn't turn on. The power cord was plugged in, the outlet verified, start button on the keyboard and on the tower pressed - but no light, no fan, no nothing, leading me to believe that the power supply is done. It had been working till it was retired in favour of the laptop.We ordered another power charger for her Powerbook laptop through eBay and hope it will be here in a week or so, but in the meantime, wonder if anyone has a surplus charger for the Powerbook or a power supply for the G4 PowerMac that could be borrowed for a week or two.------------------------------------------------------------- Prestige Print & Graphics Barry Takayesu 10592 Wellington Road P: (519) 631-8800 St.Thomas, ON F: (519) 631-6316 Canada barry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --- Manage your account options at //www.freelists.org/list/muglo
