Hi all.
Last night we apparently had a little storm and lost power. When I woke up my PM (G4/533, 384 ram) was turned off and now it will NOT turn back on. I've checked all the connections, unplugged and re-plugged all deviced, turned off all power strips, jiggled wires, held my foot just so, yelled, and made rude hand gestures.
All to no avail.
I seem to remember this having happened to me once before, but I can't remember how I got the thing to turn back on.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers
Scott

Never mind. I found the PMU reset switch, pressed it, and that fixed everything.

Find the CUDA switch near the battery. Press and hold for 10 seconds. Make large paypal sacrifice to reader50, then push the power button and watch your PowerMac boot up.

Must be a coincidence that it turn on after the PMU reset. I would've thought the yelling and rude hand gestures would do the trick.

Hmmm. You know, I'm not entirely sure I *did* push the PMU reset...that button is awfully small. Maybe it was the rude gestures that did the trick.

Sadly,
I've found that yelling and rude gestures only work roughly 5-10% of the time.
Could potentially save you the 1 million in Iraqi currency, though.
cheers,
