Argh! I was unplugging my IIsi to use the cables on another machine. I had already removed the video cable when I accidently hit the on button on the back panel. I let the machine finish it's power on routine, then pressed the off button to shut it down (I am postitive that I waited until the startup routine was finished). Then I finished unplugging the machine and used the cables for another computer (so I know the cables are fine). When I replaced the cables on the IIsi, I get no response from either the back panel power button nor the keyboard power. No response at all, no whirs, clicks, bings, whistles, nada. I retested the cables, they still work. In order to finish my project, I lifted the harddrive out of the IIsi and put it in the other computer. It works fine.
So, my suspicion is a fried powersupply. I don't really want to mess with the powersupply's internal parts, cause I've heard how dangerous they are, and I really wouldn't have the first clue as to how to fix it. Any hints on how to definitively diagnose the problem? Do I have a definitive diagnosis just from the lack of response? Any help is greatly appreciated!! oobknarf -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
