PUSHING THE CUDA SWITCH (PMU): The CUDA or motherboard reset switch is a last resort. If your computer doesn't come up at all before replacing the power supply usually pressing the switch will restore life to your dead computer. If you don't hear a chime after that then it may be Power Supply time. If your computer fails to come up after a processor swap, overclock, or ram install then it may be time to try the CUDA switch. The CUDA switch looks like a little gray (sometimes red) doorbell button. It is indeed a momentary switch like a doorbell button. This is always done with the POWER OFF! |
Help! I pushed the CUDA (PMU) Switch on my G4 and it still is not working
Sometimes computers lose their mind. Don't ask me why or how it happens but it does. Sometimes you simply have to totally discharge the computer. One thing I have learned about the Blue and White G3 and The Gray G4 computers is that sometimes pushing the CUDA is not enough. If your machine still is dead, then try the following.
Amazing! It works again!! If it doesn't I usually repeat the steps above, pull the ram, and let it sit longer. If it doesn't work after this it is take it to the shop time (or ship it to us).

80MM High Speed Lighted Power Supply FanJust have a noisy or nonworking fan in a good power supply? Both PowerMac G4 Systems and Blue & White G3's use an 80MM power supply fan to keep the innards cool. Replace your old stock noisy fan or dying fan with the high speed 4 LED Blue lit 80MM fan. This fan moves more air due to its efficient fan blade design. The smooth hard plastic blades stay cleaner longer. Why install a more expensive, slower factory replacement, when you can actually improve your air flow. Ball bearing design means quiet and long lasting. Fits perfectly in the stock location. You will have to modify the wiring (I just invert the plug). I use these as replacements on our G4's. Our low $12.77 price includes domestic shipping.
