I can be wrong, as i have not booted my Wallstreet for a long period, but if i can remember the green indicator is only lit when the powerbook is on "sleep" status.(it's a sleep indicator indeed)

You are correct. The light blinks during sleep and is off otherwise.

Can the G4 board be in fault ? (becoming hot and just shutting itself after a couple of minutes)

My G4 upgrade, the same one he has (the one I got from JDW) produces a lot of heat, but it doesn't affect the CPU. The heat gets the RAM so hot it starts getting memory errors and they eventually err on an OS occupied part of RAM and the system freezes.
