[QUOTE="dannyboy22, post: 1950461, member: 312057"] When reading an article of my desktop (12 years old) I heard a loud noise and my screen went blank, upon checking I found all sockets on that circuit were not working and found the switch in the main fuse board had tripped. Once this was reset all items connected to other sockets were working except for the Mac, I checked the fuse in the plug and found that it no longer worked so replaced this but the Mac would still not switch on (I rechecked the fuse I had put in and that that showed to be OK on my meter). Having researched past queries on Mac Forums and Google, suggestions were made in pressing various keys in sequence for the System Management Controller and the Parameter Random Access Memory, I tried both of these without success. Clearly the Mac at 12 years old was near the end of its life so does anyone have any suggestions i.e. is it worth sending for repair or would this not be viable given its age, I also have information on the hard drive that I would like to recover, some will be on the Cloud and other should be on my external hard disk backed up by Time Machine, so in any event I would need to get a repairer to remove the internal hard drive as a further back up.
