Maybe a local Apple dealer/repair center can diagnose the problem for free or a
reasonable fee? An acquitance had a problem with his old PowerMac G4 Gigabit

the problem was the front panel with the on/off button and

I'll try that. Thanks for the idea. I have a local certified apple repair
company (or whatever it is called) only a few drive minutes away.
I only fear they will want (too much) money for the diagnosis.
Well, call them about charges before moving your 25kg behemoth :-)

You mentioned you had a repair shop near you. One of the things you
might ask them about is how much it would cost just to test your power
supply. (I suppose you should be ready with some model info so they
know which power supply you are using?)
For the ATX power supplies used in a PC (and I'm

I am considering putting a G4 zif into my G3 BW. I saw on some
upgrade sites that a software patch (ROM Patch) was needed. Depending

If I happen to find a zif from a G4 Yikes, would I still need a rom
