PM me your # and Ill call you later on today.

I don't know why people have a problem with Macs. I work strictly on PCs. Play around on them too. Macs just seem to be able to do more with less. The G4 powerbook in question has something like 386mb of ram, and I swear it runs faster than the Dells at work with two gigs. Not to mention I've had it for almost 7 years, I've never had a problem, or virus. Kind of hard to compete with that, and that's why I want to fix it.

But MY PC at work has 8gigs. Not to mention 2 32" monitors. I want to run much bigger programs at home now, and I'm gonna need at lest 4 gigs to do it. That's why I want to build one.

That's what I thought. Thanks.

Will do. Thanks again.

They're great for the point and clicker... but working with networks or tweaking them they're not that easy to get a long with as compared to PC's.

Im typing on a 4 year old acer laptop right now. Acer is not the same brand it was 8 years ago.

Acer sucks even more now

This could be several different things. First things first, turn it off and remove the power cord. Open up the G4, and find a little button on the logic board that looks like this:

Hold that button down for 10 seconds. Plug the power cord back in. Then start the machine up while holding down the Command(Apple key) + Option + P + R keys. It's a bit of a pain to hold all 4 buttons down at once. Keep holding that key combination down until you hear the startup chime twice, then let go and see if it starts up.

If that doesn't fix it, it's likely a power supply or logic board issue. If it's just a power supply, I've got some extras laying around that I'd be happy to donate to you. If it's the logic board, you're better off getting a new machine.

Let me know if you have any luck......

You should be able to find virtually free power supplies. And it's already been mentioned, I think, that machines this old can be had for a song. Don't spend any (or much) money on a power supply when you can just get a used machine for the same price.
