I have a G4 1ghz tower that I inherited from a school that was throwing it away. I"d like to get it running and operating properly. When I got it I plugged it in, connected it to the monitor, and hit the power button.....
I heard the hard drives spool up, the indicator on the front of the machine that illuminates the button lit up... but it appeared that nothing else was getting power.... I plugged a few USB devices into it to try to eject the disk drive....
CD rom drive will not respond at any point after starting it... all usb buses appear to have no power (laser mouse wont light up)and the firewire drive (I had OSX on) would not boot from firewire drive, and the monitor never got out of standby. I know the monitor works, because it will wake/sleep with my powerbook. Anyone help me out with this one?
Thanks,
Jason
