I recently purchased a used G4 cube from ebay that must have a hardware problem.. the cube boots to a blue screen with a file icon in the center that alternates between a smiling OS icon and a question mark. At first i thought that it was asking for software but quickly realized that i should see a disk icon with a flashing question mark, not the file icon with alternating symbols...
That's normal for when it cannot find a bootable volume. Have you tried a PRAM reset? OF reset? Tried holding down "option" while booting to drop into the OF list of bootable volumes? Put the bootable OS install disc in and try that stuff.
