[G4] G4 MDD died

[Harry Freeman]

Greetings

Yeah, I've heard many times that the power on/off switch and or the  
PCB can be the problem.
The push button on the front isn't really a switch, all that it does  
is send a signal to the PCB
to change state i.e. it either turns the power on or off.

You might want to just unplug that PCB and reinsert to see if it is  
just a hires* connection.

* Hi resistance

Cheers

Harry
