i just got home, and went to wake up my mac, and realized that the power had went out. the clocks were flashing, and the mac was off. i pushed the power button and the light turns on, but when i release the button, nothing. nothing happens except the light comes on. shitty. so i am guessing i need a new power supply?? im almost depressed now....

Pissed_Macman:
That's very scary. Was the computer on when the power went out and do you have surge-protectors? If you have it plugged into a power strip perhaps something's wrong with it? Ugh, I would be contemplating suicide right now if this happened to me.

I think this counts as a power-outage horror story.

it is plugged into a surge protector, and everything else that was plugged in is fine, my external firewire drive was still chugging away, and the dsl modem was working... sucks, i checked again this morning. it just sorta makes a clicking sound when i try to turn it on. i really hope nothing is fooked. it is probably just the power supply. i really dont want to spend 2000 right now on a new g4...

Don't wanna state the obvious but have you check the fuse on the power cable? Mine always blow when the power goes funny.
