Mac Forum / General / Hardware / October 2008How do you do a reset of a beige G3 tower?
I have a friend who has a beige G3 tower. Where is the reset button so when he freezes in OS 8.6 he does not have to unplug the AC plug to reboot. I told him to try holding in the power button for 15 seconds or so but either he did not hold it in long enough or that does not seem to work. > I have a friend who has a beige G3 tower.

Try Control-Command-Power (the power button being the left-facing triangle on the keyboard, usually in the upper-right).

If the problem is deeper, there is a reset button inside the mini-tower on the logic board. There are two and they should be labelled. You need the reset button not the interrupt. I no longer have the workshop manual, so sorry if I'm a bit vague. SignatureThanks and regards, Shane. "A closed mouth gathers no feet!"

I used to have one of those, and as I recall, that Mac can get into a state where even the power button won't turn it off; you have to pull the plug. Naturally, no button on the keyboard would have any effect either. Isaac |
