[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 393897, member: 8287"] Well, I checked both the supplies and both are the same voltage but the G4 one is a LOT less current. So since they are the same voltage I figured, it should not hurt it, just not work right. So i disconnected my Intel Core Duo 1.66Ghz and plugged it into the workstation with the 1.25Ghz G4 mini. Same problems as you. No startup chime, no power light so I pulled the power very fast. Plugged it back into it's 110Watt PS and it's fine. I was worried for a few!! Get the right Power Supply and you should be golden! PS, Remind me never to try something like that again with one of my favorite Macs of all time! :D [/QUOTE]
