The power just went out then came back on short after. Now my mac won't fire up. It's a 1 gig G4. I push the piece of crap button and it lights up, but only as long as I push and no fan, hd, etc... no matter how long I hold it in.
Is there a reset button somewhere? I'm dead in the water on a project without the damn thing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |

I've got both, PC is actually more stable...well less finicky at least. I prefer the PC, but some things are done on the mac. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

It's the PRAM reset button. Maybe it'll help. Don't forget to ground yourself. |
