One possibility is that on some models of G4 Tower and Powerbook the Actuator that is under the power button and makes contact with the motherboard is not centered under the power button as you would expect this can lead to the feeling that the button is unresponsive or defective.
The official answer from Apple in these instances is to depress the button with a bias to the top left hand quadrant (between 9 and 12 o clock).
If this shows no improvement then I would suggest contacting Apple for a solution

hi everyone,
i have just purchased a new g4 15" powerbook which i received this week. I am happy with the book apart from that it has been a pain to boot up in the morning. I press the power button and it does nothing. after prodding the power button several times, it will boot up and then plays nicely during the day..
anyone got any idea why it would not respond to the powerbutton? The mac was bought from apples refurb store last wednesday so i know that it has been back to apple once hence my �200odd saving off new price - could it be defective powerbutton or should i consider sending it back and getting it replaced?
many thanks for info
