My G4 MDD won't start. The power light pulses on then off and the computer won't start. I tried resetting the PMU (? the little button on the mother board) with no affect.

What should I do? I think my Applecare just expired

Thanks,
Josh

Should have thought of checking the battery before I posted.

Mods, please delete.

I just took the battery out and put it back in and everything worked fine.

Whew, you're lucky. That happened to me and it was the processor daughtercard that had failed. Talk about costly.
