I have a PowerMacintosh 4400/200. I pulled it out of storage to try to run something on it, and...I can't make it turn on. The power cord is live; I'm sure of this not only because it ought to be (plugged into a lit powerbar) but also because, as I plug it in, I can hear the tiny little tick as standby power powers up. But pressing the front-panel power-on button does nothing, nothing at all, as far as I can tell. In case the switch was dead, I pulled the connector off the pins on the board and tried shorting them with a screwdriver. Still nothing. This is with nothing at all connected except the power cord. I do have a DA-15 with two pins jumpered to fake out the monitor detect circuitry on mac68k machines; I tried connecting that to the monitor DA-15 and it made no difference as far as I could tell. I looked over the wiring and there's nothing obviously disconnected, except the back-panel SCSI cable (which I have nothing connected to on the back panel, so it shouldn't matter). In particular, the main power connectors and the small soft-power control connector next to it are indeed connected. Any suggestions for another place to look, or is this machine probably just a lost cause? /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [email protected] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
