I certainly unplugged the unit before opening it up (don't like the idea of frying myself when opening up such a machine, or any machine in fact), but I did push the PMU button a number of times, holding it down for a few seconds at a time, oh man, does this really mean that the otherwise new...

I bought a new battery, inserted it, also reset the PMU whilst the side of the tower was open. Curiously it's even worse, when the start switch is pressed the switch lights up, but the computer doesn't start, not even a whimper. Strange that changing the battery should make it worse... any...

I found the perfect solution, an external hard drive by G-tech which comes in 1TB and 500GB versions, each has separate ports for FW400, FW800, and USB2, what more could you want! IT even comes with a three year guarantee. You will find cheaper drives, but from previous experience don't go for...

Hi Satcomer, Thanks for your response. Do you have experience using Final Cut Pro and a video camera with that set up too? The flow of data from a video camera can be quite problematic (according to some reviews) and it would be good to know that the set up I go for works well for the issues I...

Wow, as simple as that? I'll pick one up and... fingers crossed. Many thanks, I'll let you know how it works out.

I have a G4 800 powermac Quicksilver tower. I haven't used it regularly for a number of years, although it has been started up say every 5 months or so without any problems at all. Last weekend I started it up and it worked for about 2 minutes before suddenly shutting down, without warning. I...
