Pressing the power key on the keyboard or the power button at the back right of the main box just results in a click - the power light comes on on the keyboard and the indicator on the box gets power but almost immediately power is shut of and the Mac won't go any further - it won't even get to the start-up chime. The Mac was fine, it just suddenly shut down last Friday and now it won't start. PRAM battery is still showing 3.6v so should be fine - is about 2 years old. Before I rip it apart, has anyone seen this before and was there a solution? Roland Whitehead -------------------------------- --Info-Mac-Digest-- End of Info-Mac Digest ******************************
