I had a Performa 6100 that did the exact same thing, and only after hitting the Cmd-Option-Power button a few times and doing the Cmd-Opt-P-R keys a few times I was able to get it to boot. Seems like these older machines have a hard time waking up with a dying PRAM battery.
At 3.6V though, yours almost seems (IIRC) not dead, but almost full power. On Mon, Jul 13, 2009 at 12:33 PM, jon <[email protected]> wrote: > > I have a IIsi that wouldn't power on.
