I ordered a new G4 (733mhz) and received it this afternoon. I got home from work, plugged it in and to my suprise I get nothing. No power at all. I plugged it in to the same powerstrip that I had been running my iMac from and it had been working fine. I did check to make sure it was set to the correct power setting before I plugged it in. I have no idea what the problem is. I AM GOING INSANE! Is there some sort of rest button etc?

The switch was set to 115 (in the ins. book that came with it, they said to set it to 115 in the USA). I double checked it before I plugged it in. That shouldn't have been a problem. I'm screwed. I mean the computer didn't even come on for a second. Nothing.

Open the case and make sure all cables are seated properly. I had this problem initially, and a cursory check to the wiring showed the cable to the logic board slightly disconnected. I hope this is all you'll need to check.

Cheers,
Andreas

Looks like everything is hooked up right. I just got a D.O.A. G4.
