    NO power, BIG problem

    I am using a G4 tower, and last night I was trying to update my os from 10.1.2 to 10.1.3, due to a recent crash I don't have classic on my machine at the moment, during trying to isntall the update, my computer froze up, so I restarted the computer, now it won't even start up. I hit the power buttons, and nothing happens. There is power going into the machine, cause when I touch the power buttons they light up, but it does not start up the computer.
    what is going on?

    Re: NO power, BIG problem

    First try unplugging the machine for 1-20 seconds... If that does not work try it for a couple minutes... If that does not bring it back to life, unplug it and open it up. Find the little "cuda" (reset) switch on the motherboard.

    That may do the trick...

    i reset the logic board, by pressing a small, "snap" like button on the logic board, if you follow the link above, there is a diagram linked from the 3rd or 4th option.
