Well,
My G4 MDD just died...  no big explosion, no smoke, no smell, just quit working. I suspect it could be something as simple as an internal fuse, but the power supply looks like it might be harder to get out than I might have thought before I opened up the case.Any of you have any experience taking one of these out? I'll be looking in the usual places tonight to see if I can find out what it might take, but I'd sure like to try to do it myself, no Applecare, etc... I tried another power cord, but everything else works... it's definitely power related Any info anyone can pass on would be much appreciated.  Thanks, Chris K
