Where can i buy a power supply for a Blue & White G3?

My daughter tells me that her Blue & White G3, powers up OK but, after about 2 minutes, shuts itself down. Sounds to me like a power supply failure. Any other possibilities?

You may want to try out www.macresq.com. Search or call them up and see what they have. These guys have them listed as well.

Dont waste your money. Get a standard PC ATX power supply, completely compatible except you have to cut one of the wires. Information here - http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/M...G3_to_ATX.html

Oh, and you should also be resetting the PRAM before you do anything else. Thats CMD-ALT-P-R held down just after the boot tone, and dont let go until you hear the tone again.

Thanks, all. Carol reset the P-RAM and rebuilt the desktop -- and that fixed the problem, at least for now. However, I have the other messages saved for a future catastrophe.
Again, many thanks. I visit this site whenever I need help. I'm glad it's here.

well what mouse and keyboard do you use? my friends iMac g4 kept shutting down automatically because of a Macally mouse used up too much power.
