Hey i have this one G3 macintosh labtop , And when i plug it in to turn it on it powers up for about 3 seconds and dies and does this all the time now.
i have no idea what caused this. I opened up the labtop went inside and made sure the power connections were all good and they were so WTF? When i plug the labtop in it powers up, the cooling fan turns on and it dies after 3 secs. Have any suggestions ?
