Hy! I feel sorry for your case. I know how it feels, when your beloved computer seems dead. As John pointed out, CUDA is one of your last hopes.
This guy here http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=135390 had a problem with his memory - he inserted the memory backwards, thus he fried the DIMM, but still they said that there is a hope in CUDA. If there was hope in his case, why should be no hope in yours? Besides, some 4 years ago, my Powerbook G3 went silent - the card holding the power connector and rerouting power to the logic board was damaged. I can still remember the scene - we, I and my friend, were trying to wake my PB G3 from the dead by soldering the power card. As you know, when an old powerbook boots, there is a long pause between the power-up and the chime, and one of the few ways of knowing whether your computer actually started was the presence of light on the keyboard or by measuring the electrical parameters from the power card itself, by hand. When we were about to give up, it finally booted. I cannot express my feelings, that I felt at that time, after hours of hard work and trying. Today, after 3 years, this Powerbook still runs. Therefore, there is some hope for your powermac G4, so do not feel sad and do not give up to early!
