Hello, this is my first post. I have used these forums for reference many times and some of the pages here are very helpful!
I have a problem with a Digital Audio PowerMac G4 that I recently acquired. From other threads I've looked at it sounds like my power supply died.
Symptoms and other notes:
When I press the power button, it lights up for as long as I am pressing it and a red light on the motherboard turns on for a fraction of a second.
The fans do not spin up, no chime/bong, cd drive won't eject, or any other signs of life.
I have reset the pram PMU and I replaced the pram clock battery.
My serial number brings up this on everymac.com: https://everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g4/specs/powermac_g4_466.html
What should I replace the power supply with? I'm looking for something affordable. What options do I have in 2021?
On another note I have a working B&W G3 PSU but the numbers are different. I have included a picture with the specs of both, perhaps it could be useful.
Thanks –BronzeLight
