[G4] G4 shut-down woes

[D V]

Peter,

Have you checked the PRAM battery? If it's below 3.2V (I think I saw this
value in a repair manual from Apple), you need to replace it. Check it
in-place, it won't register the loaded volts otherwise.

I remember there were a lot of strange and unsolvable problems with older
Macs that had a weak or dead PRAM battery. I would imagine more modern units
are susceptable to the same stuff.


Also, I have an 8500/150, which I got with the Apple upgrade to 604e/200 MHz
already installed. It refuses to stay shutdown if the room temp is above
eighty some-odd degrees F.(80° F = 26.7° C) So, I have to stand ready at the
power switch and shut it off as soon as it chimes...

I'm still not sure what that problem is, but this list is for G4s, not
604es.

Hope this helps...
