My G4 desktop has a predictably flakey power button.
The power button doesn't work, but if i unplug and replug the power cord then it'll work and the machine will boot up normally.
Then if I shut down and try it again the next day I'll experience the same problem.
I thought maybe the SAFT lithium battery had run down since I don't use this desktop as much anymore so I replaced it with a new one. This had no effect - everything is just the same.
I don't see what unplugging the power cord would have to do with the button on the front.
Any ideas on what's going on or how to fix it?
Thanks,
