Today someone gave me a MDD G4 that they thought was dead.. I cannot get this thing to power on.. Its a 1.25Ghz Single.. Ive done all the regular stuff.. reset pmu check battery voltages.. pulled all the cards.. I checked the leads of the PSU with a voltmeter and its getting power.. But she just wont fire up.. any ideas.. this is really a nice system

Solved the issue.. seems some vga cables dont want to work with it.. I hooked it up to my studio display 15" on the adc connector and booted into os x 10.4.9 just fine.. Got a nice 1.25ghz MDD for free basically..

Cool, though now it's working see if they want it back. You will be a hero!
