G4 Cube No Power

User uploaded file


I Finally got my hands on a G4 Cube and upon plugging it in, the machine doesn't power on.


While I could sit here and look at this beauty all day, I would like to get it working.


The power button does nothing, no response at all.


The machine appears to be getting no power, the guys over at CubeOwners said there is a green light that illuminates when the machine has power, I could not see said light through the vents, I took the innards out and plugged it in again, the light was simply not illuminated.


What I've tried so far(To no avail):


Pressing the pRAM reset switch


Checking the machine for any damage(there was none)


Checking the PSU for any damage(It Rattles)


The PSU "Hairdryer Trick"(From CubeOwners Forum)



I've deduced that this is likely a dead PSU.


I Tried searching eBay for a PSU replacement and obviously with the Cube being a pretty rare machine now, I found no PSU's in my region(Literally, not a single one)


So here I am guys!


Does anyone have any advice or anything I can try that I've not already tried?


and does anyone know where or how I can replace this PSU(If that is the problem)
