@itspos check the fuse. Most common failure on these PSU’s are -mains cap shorted -bridge rectifier shorted -power MOSFETs shorted So you do want to take it apart and post some high res images with your question. For that, use this guide

With these older machines its usually best to source another machine for dirt cheap and swap parts between them. Otherwise eBay might have the poeer supply you are looking for.
These PPC G4 PSUs are so old now that even if you did find one on Ebay chances are it will be on its last legs anyway. So a guide to refurbish a PSU would be awesome as so many g4s could be revived as the PSU is the most common fault. I have 2 x 933 Quicksilvers that I use for a Pro Tools TDM rig but both have PSU issues now and G4 QS 344w PSUs are as rare as hens teeth. Even if the guide was split into sections ie part one : replacing mains fuse
