[clue-tech] Power Supply?

[Kevin Cullis]

Todd,

Probably it's related to the PMU, see here for some info at Apple's web 
site:

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=95037

If you do a search at Apple's web site (Support tab) for power related 
info you probably will find out the answers you're looking for. Also, at 
each Genius Bar at the local Apple stores you can make an appointment to 
see what may be the issue. Go to apple.com and locate the nearest Apple 
store and find the link to the "Apple Store Concierge" and make an 
appointment. Since the appointment can only be made for the day that you 
want to have it looked at, try making the appointment after midnight or 
early in the morning to get a good appointment time. If you show up at 
any of the stores it may be anywhere from 2-4 hours before someone can 
look at it for you.

They will probably do some quick troublshooting for you to see if it's a 
quick fix, i.e. resetting the PMU, otherwise it will cost to fix things. 
No different than anywhere else.
