[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1149174, member: 56379"] On the Mac-mini everything is soldered onto the logic board (video, cpu, everything)...so if there's an "electronic" problem...it's the logic board that needs to be replaced. Also...as far as I know...G4 Mac-Mini's cannot be upgraded to an "Intel board". The bottom line is...your G4 Mac-Mini is only worth about $100-$125 bucks. Almost any "serious" repair would exceed that amount...so you would be better off finding another used working G4 Mac-mini for $100-$125...or finding a used Intel Mac-mini for more $$$.
