Yeah I'm suspecting caps now too, time needed to wait for start up is increasing. I'm doubting its cord contacts, first thing I tried was wiggling the cord while trying to start up.
Maybe I'll have time some night to open it up more and get a closer look, see if I spy some bulging caps... when I did the battery I only opened it far enough to get to the battery.
Edit: just to add. So, I fix it, then what do I do with it
This was a surplus from my mother's work that I was selling on their behalf, probably have more into it then its worth so it'll be mine...
Really have limited use for a G4 based mac, that's why I have a PBG4 1.5GHz model... Just sits in the attic and is used when I want to rip LPs from my USB turntable.
so 1.25GHz 17" lampshade(if I fix it) or 1.5GHz 15" PBG4
