Hi,
Our G5 Power Mac was in sleep mode over night a few days ago. The power went out during the night sometime and came back on about 2 hours later. Both our Mac Book Pro and G5 were in sleep mode, the MBP is fine, no damage at all. However, the power light on the front of the G5 is on, but the computer is not on, the external hard drives are off and the monitor wont come on. I tried to hold the power button down to shut off the light, but nothing happens no matter how long I hold it. The only way to make the light go out is to unplug it from the wall.
After I plug it back in, the light instantly comes on again by itself and the Mac just sits there doing nothing. The G5 is on a surge protector if that helps the diagnosis.
Thanks in advance for any help.
