I have been having an ongoing problem with my g4 recently which ended in it dying completely last week. After having all kinds of trouble just getting someone to identify the problem for me i have now found out i apprently have a dead mother board which will need replacing at the cost of get this ......£600 ish and thats just the price of the motherboard. and as a special added bonus my warrenty ran out a month ago.
i think a return to pc's is on the cards very soon
Thats Mac's for ya mate ;) :lol:
:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
this site might have the motherboard

i had a problem that sounded exactly like this. the comptuer wouldn't respond to anything. wouldn't even turn on.
i took it to the store and the guy there wanted to charge me 300dollars to fix it. i hesitated and then the guy i usually deal with saw me and fixed the problem for naught, on the spot.
wish i could remember exactly what he said. but they just launched it from another computer and reset something. they said it had been a common problem
if it's going to cost you that much, it's worth getting a second opinion.
