>> 4. Can I upgrade to a G3?
http://www.lowendmac.com/pb2/3400.shtml will give you upgrade info. eBay will surely be able to provide you with a G3 processor and the mfg's site will probably have installation instructions.
I've picked up a couple G3 processors off of ebay for around $100 and they worked great! Especially my G3-enabled 1400!!!
Except, of course, the original post was regarding a 3400, which is not processor-upgradable. Furthermore, since the problem was not related to the processor so much as it is to the power handling, upgrading the processor wouldn't relieve the reported problem.

Well, he could upgrade to G3 by way of a Kanga logic board... So it is possible... ;-)
A motherboard from a PowerBook G3 (original, also known as "3500" or "Kanga") is a direct swap for the 3400 motherboard, though I seem to recall there being some RAM compatibility issues with modules greater than 32MB in size or below a certain speed... Someone with more knowledge than I should set me straight if I'm wrong.
Peace, Drew
