Hi
I've stopped collecting macs a while ago, because i was running out of space.
Untill previous week, when i friend offered me a PowerMac G4 MDD (Dual 1Ghz) for free!
I couldn't resist and accepted, it had been running a server for sometime so i expected it to be in good condition. When ik got it home i plugged it in and everything seemed to be working fine.
Today i was going to give it a fresh install, clean it up a bit etc. However it wouldn't start anymore xx(
I tried PMU reset without succes. When i press the power button nothing happens... After some googling i discoverd they had weak PSU's (API1PC36).
I guess the PSU died? Replacing it seems expensive (ebay suggests prices lik € 80 and up).
Anyone had the same problem?
Any suggestions?
