[G4] Graphite G4 Tower Won't turn on

[Wayne Wilkin]

Have you tried plugging in the computer and opening the case. Look  
for the Battery. Beside the battery there should be a very very small  
switch, it's a push button. Push the button and hold in down for  
about 5 seconds then see if it starts up, Wayne.
