[G4] Help needed

[Kristen]

Hi Ricie,

	If it's a help, my friend has a G3 laptop which did the same thing. The 
bottom of the laptop also was found to be hotter then normal. By sending it 
in for repair we found that this was a known video card problem for his 
model. They replaced his video and it has worked great ever since. I see you 
have a G4 so I can't say if this is the same problem or not. I think I 
remember that this was listed on the apple site with modles afflicted.
