Hi!
My G4 PowerMac QuickSilver dual 1ghz was working just fine yesterday. I have it as well as my monitor, printer, etc. plugged into a surge protector. The computer was on (no one was using it) when my 1-1/2 yr old daughter found the plug and removed it from the wall. No one saw her do this, so I do not know if she wiggled it and it sparked or anything. All other items plugged into the surge protector still work fine, and the surge protector says that it is still 'protecting.' The computer though would not turn on. When plugged in, only a fan would come on, and that is before pressing the power button - it would just automatically come on. When pressed, the power button would glow and then fade out, but there was never a chime or any other activity. I opened the case, and there is a red light on the motherboard that would remain lit. I proceeded to try different power cords and outlets, with the same result. About an hour later, I tried again, but this time the fan did not start automatically, and there is no red light that remains lit on the motherboard. The power button acts the same when pressed, but still, no activity.
Any suggestions would be helpful. If you need any further information about the hardware or circumstances, let me know.
Thanks!
