My emac recently went belly-up...I can depress the power button, hear a momentary burst of the high-voltage but nothing beyond that. I have it apart looking for the obvious and plan to remove the hard drive unless someone has any other ideas. It is important I get this fixed as my family is using it as ammo for purchasing a Dell...
Thanks klkat
 
We've seen this on several units. With one, the PRAM battery was dead. Replacing it solved the issue. On others, we've tried resetting the PMU, the PRAM, and using threatening language--- none of which have resolved the issue. It has nothing to do with any updates applied afaik, as the machines haven't seen apple updates recently. Power or logic board, I suspect. Would be nice to know of a more reliable troubleshooting flowchart to define the issue without having to resort to board swapping.
