I've got a Mac II ci that won't power up. I press the key on the keyboard that has worked umpteen times and now nothing. I checked voltage on the lithium cell under the hard drive, and it registers 3.6V i.e. 100%. What to do now????? -----== Posted via Deja News, The Leader in Internet Discussion ==----- http://www.dejanews.com/rg_mkgrp.xp Create Your Own Free Member Forum

You might try pressing the power on key for a LONG time, or try starting up with the reset button on the back of the CPU. The problem is a failed capacitor, but these power supplies are not easy to work on.

Probably the PSU. Check the little button on the rear of the case. Does it appear to work properly ? If that doesn't help, unplug the IIci from the mains for 24 hours and then try again.
