I have a IIci with the same symptoms - power supply clicks, fan lurches, while the power button is pressed. I hooked a meter to pin 10, and it's steady at 5v. I jumpered 9 to 10 to get it to start up, and it does the click, lurch thing. If I work out a fix, I'll post it here. I'm going to dig...

hi all! i've recently completed a project utilizing a Plus case to house a G4 Cube ( ) and now i'm looking to do something with the innards of the Plus itself. i hate to see the pieces go to waste (though the logic board is lovely piece of art for my office right now), so i thought i'd try...
