PMU Reset failed; do again?
I have reset the PMU on my Power Mac G4 before with success. This time I was hurrying and forgot to disconnect the usb cord to the UPS, and the ethernet, and the speaker connection. (All of those items were off and not connected to the house power at all.) I did disconnect all other peripherals, the G4 power, and the G4 monitor cord. Now the computer is still in the same state: the light comes on behind the power button but immediately turns off and there is no startup at all. Should I push the PMU button again? I have read that that can kill the PMU. (I did let at least 10 seconds go by before I reconnected things.)
