[QUOTE="Philipdru, post: 913516, member: 123004"] I'd finally stopped dithering and made the switch, buying the above machine from a chap off e-Bay - an old model but lots of upgrades. It runs Leopard 5.1.8. Three weeks in this happens. I'd just remembered something I'd forgotten to do. I was about two feet away and I'd just turned on the computer. As what it was came to into my head, and annoyed at my own absent-mindedness, I banged my hand on the desk, at which point the computer died. I've never known something of this kind happen so I can only assume reverberation dislodged something. When I press the on/off button the light goes on for as long as I hold it down but nothing starts up. I can't reset PMU. That requires start-up and I'm not getting any power. It's just dead to all intents and purposes. Then again if it's dead why does the On/Off switch light up at all? Please don't tell me it's a gonner. Although a novice when it comes to computers three weeks was quite enough to decide my preference. Bad enough that I've had to hook-up my Windows machine to send this. [/QUOTE]
