Imac G5 - Will not turn on!
Imac G5 with isight was running normally. Never had any issues. Power to my home went out. Was plugged into a protected power strip. It will not turn on now. Tried to hold power button in and then plug in as to reset smu. No luck..... any ideas?
This machine is at least four years old. I hate to lose use of it. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. I am willing to take it apart if necessary to troubleshoot. Mike
After researching this issue, I have decided to attempt replacement of the power supply. This Imac opens from the front and the power supply is exposed which causes a safety concern for me. I am not confident on discharging the supply. I have read it will eventually discharge itself. Is this the case and how long does it take to discharge on its own. The machine has been unplugged for almost 24 hours. I appreciate all input!
