Power cable

I painted my emac green and I can't get the power cable in properly to make it power on. What is the power cable sequence (Green, Red, Black, empty) to make it turn on?

Screw it. I just took the cable out. I'm not dealing with it since I never shut this thing off anyways. If you guys want to see what a green eMac looks like, let me know . I have a couple of pics of it.

You did what!!? How could you?

But the eMac has its own type of plug, with a flange on it, a bit like a baby's suck dummy. You can get away with an ordinary computer power cable.

Are you talking internal or external? I thought the international power wire coloring was Brown (power), Blue (neutral) and Green (earth); otherwise Red (power), Black (neutral) and Green (earth).

So, show us what a green eMac looks like.

BTW, my Mac tech says "turn your eMac off if it's going to be idle for more than 2 hours, helps to preserve those capacitors." [apparently they bulge and leak more in high(er) temps].
