[Mac Write]

Well my sister calls me up today saying when she woke up, her MDD G4 was off, so she presses the power button and nothing, un-plugs it, plugs it back in and nothing. I can't get other there until Friday, she is really worried as she uses it allot (esp for finding work, printing resume, etc).

Before anyone says get a new computer take it in, she is broke and un-employed at present.

Based on my experience with this happening with two different MDD's (both 1.25 GHz machines), it's the power supply. Bought one used on eBay on both occasions for $65-75 apiece, and fired 'em both - still working to this day some 3 years later. Easy to replace in the MDD.

Now to get a voltage meter to confirm and then figure out were to get a new power supply.

Just checked eBay. They want $139+$40 for shipping to Canada! and they are used!!!

Update: just spoke to my sister, and she said her Mac was freezing up over the weekend and she had to hard reboot it.
