My mac wont turn on.

[notfred]

I press the power button, and the light inside the power button comes of for a second, then turns off. Nothing else happens. No fans, no video.

Stupid mac.

Mac Mini? My sister had the same problem. Take it to the apple store, her problem was a fried logic board.

This is a dual 800mhz powermac G4

You can also try resetting your nvram

Throw it away and buy a new one, that's all you can do.

Take to your local Apple Store's Genius Bar.

You have to ask yourself "What am I doing wrong?"

There is NO way it's Apple or the Mac's fault. Understand that, please.

Same thing happened to mine. Open it up, on the motherboard there's a little button thing. Press it once and it should all work fine. I'm pretty sure that doing that is resetting the pram.

I pulled the battery (for the CMOS or PRAM or whatever) for a minute, put it back in, and it works again.

He probably likes the OS more than the hardware. 😉
