Hi. I have never used (well very occasionally) the power buttons on keyboards.
I've had 5 iMac G3s of varying specs and always used the power button on the machine. Simon --- http://www.simonroyal.co.uk and http://www.nmug.org.uk (sent using Nokia E71) -original message- Subject: keyboard power button issues From: Peter Mc Court <peter...@fagmed.uit.no> Date: 18/12/2008 17:48 Learned ones, I just rescued a Ruby iMac (G3, 400MHz, 36GB HD, CD drive, 256MB RAM, OS9.2.1, Firmware 4.1.9) from the Uni skip. She (Ruby) is fully functional, except that I need to use the power button on the box to start her up. None of the keyboard power buttons for my other 3 iMacs (similar vintage) can start Ruby up, but they all can shut her down. I see that Ruby's power button is sits more deeply in the bezel than on the other iMacs, so I guess she has been subject to some abuse. Is there an easy fix for this power button issue? I've read that one should avoid using the power button that sits on the iMac box.
