Hey, I'm running a G5 10.3.9 and whenever I have put it to sleep (over the years) it won't wake up so I have to leave it on all the time or turn it on at the wall.
Any ideas?

Hey Ric - here are the specs, and no, not a wireless mouse or keyboard, just old fashioned USB.

Thanks,
Jim

Hi there,

the first thing I would try is take out the little battery from the Main board and test it, it's probably flat !

Diagram here...

Then you can either get one from your local electronics shop or from Apple.
