[QUOTE="fifizle, post: 1768219, member: 395339"] Thanks for reminding me to check the capacitors. I took a look around and nothing looked obviously damaged. Ever since I remember, the PSU on this computer always made a high pitched sound while plugged in (whether the Mac was powered on or not), and that is still true now. I didn't think the PRAM battery would prevent booting, but you never know... Though unlikely, I also wondered if the keyboard could be the problem since I couldn't rule it out it as the on/off button is on it. I definitely don't want to spend money on it, or much time. Just trying to see if it's worth selling/donating, or if it should be recycled. And it would have been nice to see its contents one last time before it goes. Despite its insane-for-the-time 1GB HDD, there's a reason why it was in storage! ;) [/QUOTE]
