Power-On Issue 

 

If you experience a power-on issue with the Power 

Macintosh G3 Minitower or Macintosh Server G3 where the 

power supply fan is spinning, but there is no boot tone, no 

hard drive noise, no power LED, and no video, you may have 

an improperly installed or faulty voltage regulator. You 

should always reseat and/or replace the voltage regulator 

before replacing the logic board. (See “System” symptom/

cures in the Troubleshooting chapter.)
