When was the last New Battery put in this G4? My G4 AGP 400 was doing crazy, strange things last month, including not wanting to startup from the DVD/CD drive, then it would not even see the DVD/CD drive. I thought my G4 was on it's last leg. Anyway, to make a short story, I had remembered that my 5400/200 had the almost same crazyness last year, and was told to put a New battery in it, Bingo, that solved everything. I am not saying this is your problem, but, when was the last time your Mac had a New battery?
