If the restore disks are handy they will have some hardware tests that you
can get to by booting while holding down the option key. If not, which G4
does he have, I may have the hardware tests ISO somewhere that I could
upload.

Does anyone have some needle nose pliers that I might borrow today to fix
some bended IDE ribbon pins on a hard drive?

Gary Chartier (one of the teachers at La Sierra who helped us get the room
we're in) has a sick Mac G4. In trying to hook and unhook things to diagnose
the problem, he inadvertently bent one of the pins. I shouldn't need it very
long, and the hard drive is next door to where we meet in the School of
Business.

Also, does anyone have any recommendations on PPC-friendly boot disks that
I might use to help diagnose what the main problem is?  The computer isn't
booting.
