eMac G4 1.25

If you have an older iMac Keyboard try hitting the power button on that. I'd be curious if that option still works on newer macs pre intel.

It does not work. That ability was removed, in the later G4 towers and I don't think it ever showed up in the eMac. I believe all G3 iMacs do support it though.

It's not the power buttons connection. I checked to make sure it was connected right. Then just to make sure i "hotwired" the emac by cuttign the wire, stripping it, and touching them together. Didn't work either.

I'm going to check the psu with a multimeter later tonight.

I actually have to do that with ibook because i thought it was cool to throw away the power button. :-/

 

[Torbar]

Just to make sure, it's the thin black(negative) and red(positive), right? No ground is needed?

 

[Christopher]

Most likely yes, and if no go try a ground anyways.
