Hey all. Well my powermac won't start. They upgraded the service to the house from 100000amps to 200000amps, I forgot to turn off my machine before the power went out and I didn't unplug it either. Did think about it. Anyways, barring my stupidity, is there anything I can do? When I press the power button, the light says lit, but as soon as I release it it goes out. Is there some kind of reset button or something? This blows.

Kinda panicing here.

Thanks.

Press and hold the CUDA button for 10 seconds, it will be on the motherboard near the battery.
