[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1576686, member: 56379"] Pretty much. This would be the least expensive route. :) Of course I should mention. Your Powermac G4 is really only worth about $20-$25 bucks (depending on the exact model)...so unless you REALLY need to get this computer working again (and money spent on it is a concern)...watch what you spend!;) I have a guy locally currently selling literally dozens of old Powermac G4's. From the slower 400mhz variety all the way up to 1ghz models. He wants about $12 each for them (if I bought a bunch of them). Probably about $15-$20 each if I only wanted one. So like I said...they aren't worth a whole lot. Logic boards are funny-complicated things. Sometimes they don't work at all (after an accident)...and sometimes they partially work. Still (fully working logic board or not)...you still need to address/test the video issue (with a known working card). - Nick [/QUOTE]
