If it is the power, and my own G4 seems to have stopped booting up  
because of that, I think fixing it is either very complicated or  
means buying a new PSU, and of course it can't be any off-the-shelf  
ATX power supply, but just the right model. Not sure what goes into  
reconditioning an old power supply to work properly again, if indeed  
that is possible. Anybody know whether taking compressed air to it  
will clear up any problems? Or does that just keep it from breaking  
sooner?
