Old Mac never die.
I have a G4 gigabyte Mac which was built in 2000 according to Tech Tools and is now at 10.5.8 with many fire wire and USB additions with a 1000gig processor and 2 megs of ram. It stays on 24/7 and the only real problem was a power board failure last year. It is still running. I'm really getting TO because there are getting to be very few thing that will work on it. Now I understand that Lion will not work even on some older Intel Macs. I'm on a fixed income so a new mac is out of the question for now.

Update firmware
OK, I have a G4 and a new used main board. The firmware on it is 4.18 and I need to update it to 4.28 or what ever the latest is. I have formatted one of my hard drives to 9.2.1 so I can do this. However the power button does not work. According to the directions I need to use this button during the process. I have asked several times, where does the power button store the settings? I have used the apple tech bulletin many times to reset the power button to no effect. I ask again, is my power supply the problem? I have tried 3 new batteries as well.

Can anyone help?
Been here before and thanks for the help but my problem continues. First
I can not afford a new intel mac or evan a good used ppc mac. My screen
is now OK with a addition of new ATI 9800 Mac Pro video card. Now the
power button still does nothing, the restart button does. Took out the
switch and there is nothing you can clean. Tried pushing just the the
switch, no luck. I have bought a new mother board on eBay and that does
the same thing as the original board with the addition on not being able
to connect to the internet. Put the old board back in and am now
connected. Other problems. On restart the Mac still sometimes goes into
open firmware and must type mac-boot. Eventually after several tries it
will boot up. Apple jack reports { 41 918440 } UniNEtnet :: restart
over and over in pink letters after doing it's thing. Push return and
then enter exit or re-boot to get going again. I have 3 hard drives
which I have erased and installed new copies of OS 10.5.8 on each. I
bought a Western Digital Passport drive less than a year ago and it was
working fine until I switched from Time Machine to Carbon Copy Cloner.
Now it will not mount. In disk utilities it shows up but will not erase.
No argument is the error and the same when I try to partition it. I
bought it at the Apple store and I am taking it back there to-day. The
same thing happens with the new and old main boards. Does anyone have
any ideas on how to fix this. The video board and the external drive had
problems after the swap to CCC. I love my mac and want to have it
working. Where other than the main board does the mac store information
that is causing my problems?

Power button
Somehow my G4 gigbit is is back. Out of 4 hard drives I got one to finally mount after many trouble shooting steps. I had to do an erase and install so many things are still not right but I can at least work on it. The problem is the power button does not do anything. Must unplug and replug in order to start the G4. Have a USB keyboard with out a power button. Anyone know what is wrong and how to fix it. Already set pram about 5 times and pushed the cuda switch. I have a brand new install of the OS. Everything else seems to be OK. Norm
FYI:Fan on video board.
FYI: ATI Radeon 9800 Pro My video became almost unreadable. After doing some trouble shooting I discovered that the fan on the ATI mac pro video board was rubbing on the heat sink. Disassembled and remounted the fan and all is well. Just some I hope useful information.

Western Digital
External Hard drive has the ability to use Firewire or USB 2. I was using the firewire connection to use as a start up disk if needed. I was told by this group that this would not work on my PPC G4 mac so I changed to the USB 2 cable and the disk shows only 32 gig of storage where the firewire shows 232 gigs. I have tried Disk Utilities on it to no avail. What is going on and how do I fix it?
