Apple Mac G4 won't start
Hi,
3 days ago my Apple Mac G4 switched off without reason. I restarted it and got a warning that the date was wrong and it may affect programmes but before I had chance to do anything else, it switched off again. I haven't been able to switch it on since. The power light flashes on each time I press it (plus the screen light works too) but the computer doesn't start. Occasionally it makes some promising noises like it's about to start but then it cuts out again.
I have read the community and tried resetting PMU (turn power off, open side, remove battery etc) but it hasn't had an effect.
Any other recommendations? Please note that you are dealing with a complete novice here when it comes to troubleshooting computers!
