If the power button isn't flush with the front of the case, it could very well be that it's the button that's causing your problem. This was a problem that I had and (being that I do this for a living) merely taking the case apart and putting it back together fixed it; the button just needed to be realigned. -- Jeremy Derr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Low End Macs - G-Books "ListNanny" Any statements herein represent my opinion and do not represent those of my employer.
