The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Power Mac G4 Cube does not turn on.  Pulsing Power Light.

Asked by RWJDCom in Apple Operating Systems, Appletalk, Apple

Tags: g4, power, mac, light, cube

I am totally new to Mac computers; a received one today from a friend as a Christmas gift, it is a Power Mac G4 the only problem with it at the time was it would not turn on I opened it up cleaned off the power button removed some scotch tape from one of the cables and then plug it back in and power it up and it turned out just fine; my friend who gave it to be originally thought that there was a problem with the power supply and he said if I could fix it I could have it so I thought I had fixed it and now it's not working again but this time it is a totally different problem.

The problem I am having now is that the computer won't turn on at all but the power button is pulsing: one bright flash, one dull flash over and over again.  I opened up the computer and tried re-seating the RAM check the hard drive connections and all seemed fine.  Does anybody know how to fix this issue what does the one bright flash, one dull flash over and over again mean?

Thanks a bunch,
Jeff
