[G4] Computer does not turn on

[jim carbone]

I just recently went through a similar issue and received much help 
from the members of this list.

My G4 Dual MDD shut down on me while in use and after that, it wouldn't 
respond at all when I tried to power it back up. The issue with mine 
was a blown fuse in the power supply.

It's possible an environmental change fried the fuse or maybe something 
else went in the PS. I couldn't afford the downtime of troubleshooting 
the fault, so I crossed my fingers and had a replacement shipped 
overnight.

So far, no further issues... and I have an extra power supply sitting 
around here that I'll probably never do anything with, although I'll 
keep telling myself I need to keep it around "just in case". (Just like 
all that other stuff...)

Best of luck to you...
