I haven't used a Mac in over 20 years, so assume I know absolutely nothing. And to prove how little I know, they may be the most nubie question ever:
Just bought a Power Mac 7500/100 off ebay (for next to nothing.) The seller didn't do a decent job of packing. There was obviously some damage to the case when I opened his box.. little bits of twisted and/or broker plastic here and there. First thing I did was get the top of the case off the computer and gently poke around. I don't see any obvious damage to the actual components. No lose wires or anything. Maybe it was just damage to the case and the computer is fine??? So now it's time to test it.
I plug it in.... and I realize exactly how much I don't know what I'm doing. I can't find any obvious power buttons. Did these computers have power buttons that I can't find? Or was there some other way to turn them on and off?
There's a hole in the lower left corner on the front of the case that seems like it should be for a power button... but I don't see anything on the computer itself that corresponds with that hole.
What am I missing here?
