    I use my MorphOS G5 2.7 almost daily. It is my "modern" computer in the retro cave. This morning out of the blue, it will not turn on. It shows zero life. Most likely the psu failed.

    "Sucks" I thought, but no worries. I have my backup G5 2.3 to use for the time being I thought. Took down the 2.7, put the 2.3 on the desk, NOPE! The 2.3 won't turn on either!

    The 2.7 had a known good battery. The 2.3 battery tested low (bad), so moved the good battery over. No change. The 2.3 psu is likely completely dead too. Failed sitting in conditioned storage? That's a bit rough.

    I have one spare G5 psu somewhere. Hopefully I can get one of the 2 going with it, then I can go about rebuilding or replacing the 2 bad psu.

    What kind of BS luck is this?
