Hi everyone, I have a G4 tower Quicksilver that doesn't start up. I believe the power supply is dead. I don't use it any more, so I thought that I should replace the power supply, check the hard drive for anything I might need (doubtful) then wipe and sell it. It's a full system with original monitor and mouse (I hated those clear mice, not very ergonomic), so I think someone out there might find a use for it, provided it's in reasonable working condition. Been a few years since it was on, last time I tried to start it up, nothing happened, just black screen, which is why I think it's the power supply.
However, I'm not sure what part to buy
I've been searching online and there are videos and pages for how to replace it (looks pretty straightforward) but about a billion different "buy this part from us!" and... I have no idea what I should choose. New? Is there a comparable supplier for new parts? Used? Refurbished?
To make matters just that bit more tricky, I live in Canada, so there's the ever-present not as much stuff available. As much as I would love to send it to a repair shop, kind of broke right now so unfortunately, I'm in a DIY situation.
Any suggestions appreciated
(not sure what this prefix thing is, so I hope I picked the right one)
