[G4] Help, I think my sawtooth died!

[Steve Goldstein]

Could be that your power supply died.  You can buy replacements. 

But, try this: Let it cool down.  Unplug it from the wall for a few minutes.  Then re-plug and try again.  If you get any power at all, perhaps try "Zap the PRAM" by holding down OPT-CMD-P-R until you hear a second boot-up chime. 

Silly question:  Did you hit Return after typing mac-boot?

It did not do much of anything, It certainly did not boot.  I finally pushed the reset button and tried again.  This time when I was asked to type mac-boot or shut-down, I typed shut down.  Now, it does not respond at all.  Is it dead?
