[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1183018, member: 56379"] I would bet that if you can accurately identify the part or parts in the power supply that are bad...if you are good with soldering/desoldering...and if you can locate a source for replacement parts...I'm sure it can be repaired. But like anything with old computers...is repairing it the best route financially. Alternative routes could be: - locate a cheap used replacement power supply - locate a 2nd non-working Powermac G4 that uses the same power supply (power supply is good)...if you're lucky, these can be found for $10-$20 bucks. Actually working or not working these can be found for around $20 bucks. Repairing the current non-working power supply would seem to be the least expensive option...and be the most satisfying from a "project" standpoint...but the replacement parts might actually cost you more than a whole working 2nd Powermac G4.
