It really sounds like the RAM now! We'll see what they say tomorrow... Just hope they don't make me send back the whole thing!
Interesting statement (2 sockets then have to be left empty, this is not recommended) The machine was not shipped With all sockets filled! Dont know where that comes from.Also, I stumbled upon this as well from Buying RAM - Mac Guides
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
G4 Mirror Drive Door models: PC2700 DIMMs, 4 slots, max 2 Gb with 4 x 512 MB DIMMs. (It has been reported that 2 x 1 GB DIMMs could be used, but the other 2 sockets then have to be left empty, this is not recommended)

I am really hoping this solves it! It'll make my week if I see it boot up once I install these parts!
I'll double check all of that prior to the new installation of the RAM and Hard Drive. Mac SK, on a percentage, how sure are you that it is the RAM? I am about 90% sure.
Oh well. Nothing! Same old gray screen! I am going to try and get reimbursed or get a replacement. Thanks for everyone's help! I really appreciate it!
I will try that later. I sent the seller an e-mail and requested either a refund or replacement. Should I just entirely request a refund? It would take me a while, but if I were to save up, I could probably eventually purchase a Intel Mac Mini with Snow Leopard. Would it be worth it to do that? Thanks once again!
I know what you're saying. I've always purchased used macs. However, I don't like seeing myself spend nearly $220 for a used G4 that doesn't even operate.
