[CUBE] EBAY/ CUBES/ NOT WORKING!!

[Hal]

Noel,

Sorry to hear about the problems you are having. The power-off problem  
you describe was fairly common and I believe Apple even offered to  
replace the power switch gasket under warranty. First, check to make  
sure your cube has the latest firmware. If not, the updater can be  
downloaded here:

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html? 
artnum=75129&SaveKCWindowURL=http%3A%2F%2Fkbase.info.apple.com%2Fcgi- 
bin%2FWebObjects%2Fkbase.woa%2Fwa%2FSaveKCToHomePage&searchMode=Expert&k 
bhost=kbase.info.apple.com&showButton=true&randomValue=100&showSurvey=fa 
lse&sessionID=10748575!adam at khdist.com.au|155862823

If that doesn't solve the problem, make sure the gasket is seated fully  
and clean.

Hope that helps.

-Hal
