Old Mac Woes

Oh woe is me! Our aging but faithful PowerMac G4 “Gigabit Ethernet” is not behaving. It won’t power up and is non-responsive.

I reset the PMU but that didn’t help. Not sure if the internal battery needs to be replaced but the cost is cheap at $20. A replacement power supply runs $200+. Diagnostics and repairs for a “vintage product” runs at least $120 at MacMadeEasy. Wonder if waiting at the Apple Store Genius Bar is worth it??

Or… Apple’s Back to School promotion is going on right now… get a “free” Nano with the purchase of a new Mac…$100 off a new printer…

But wait, a new iMac possibly in August? Can we wait at least two weeks, but probably more like a month down one computer?

Decisions, decisions…
